As automobile travel became more prevalent, communities all across the route made special efforts to establish tourist camps for travelers. Vinita’s tourist camp was located to the south of the community and first established in 1921. The camp had space for up to 100 cars and featured electric lights, comfort stations and free fuel when first opened.
