When it comes to West Texas camping,

Take a look at some of the awesome locations you may not
have visited as a camper. For some of those camping sites
you might have already been to, you might try giving them
another look.
Have a good camping location, contact us, so we can post
information about it to the site.
Palo Duro Canyon State Park
This mysterious terra cotta badland, replete with canyons and
bluffs, calls out to the adventuresome to be explored. A daylong
horseback ride or challenging hike will take you to this home of
the famous Lighthouse rock formation. Or drive to the top of the
canyon and take in the breathtaking view from the top of the
overlook. The full-service park sports standard campsites as well
as newly renovated rock cabins and fully furnished ccc-constructed
cabins.
Caprock Canyons State Park
The spirit heart of the bison still beats proudly today
in the caprock canyons, as descendants of the Charles
Goodnight bison herd, called the “Official Texas State Bison
Herd,” are pastured and protected here. This park is also open
to campers who can stay in developed sites below the canyon
rim or venture out to backcountry sites.
Copper Breaks State Park
The rolling plains expand into the legendary wide-open spaces
of North Texas, once home to wild buffalo and native hunters.
It is arid land that has been eroded by the Pease River into a
place of gullies, mesas and juniper breaks filled with wildlife.
Frogs, turtles, lizards and an occasional horned lizard can be
seen in the park. Two small lakes (60 and 10 acres) offer
fishing year-round for bass, catfish, crappie and perch.
Big Bend Ranch State Park
Deep in the mountainous desert wilderness, a quarter-million-
acre park opens a spectacular landscape to the public. Drive
into the park over a 36-mile gravel road that leads through flat
and hilly terrain and ends at the former owner's furnished ranch
home. |
