Wildlife worth it
First evening came it as it got dark. Pretty easy to navigate the site by moonlight and get set up. However, Bison roam through the area and aside from hoofprints they will leave reminders of their presence. There is plenty of room between campsites/ neighbors and during our stay all visitors were pleasant, and courteous. Our first night encounter was hearing what may have been a mountain lion and purred what seemed to be right next to our tent. During the night it had bedded down in our vicinity and had moved on by morning. 2nd night you could hear the bison moving around the campsites. Easy access to trails for hikes. Beautiful skies and amazing views throughout the canyon.

Caprock Canyon State Park South Prong Camping
When I camp, I like to go primitive! I do not want neighbors that talk through the night. While the campground was out in the canyon, it was not dispersed. In my campsite, I was 10 feet from the next campsite. The canyon is definitely the great outdoors with near perfect stargazing, good fires, and a relaxing visit though. Be careful of sudden wind gusts, free roaming bison, families of coyotes in the area, and the occasional rattlesnake. I am going back to camp at the other sites sometime later.
Great views
Good location, plenty of good hiking trails. Views from each pitch are awesome
