    Caprock Canyons State Park - Honey Flat

    First visit

    Clean, quiet, cozy. Stayed 5 nights. You can hear owls and coyotes at night. A great hiking/mountain biking park. Buffaloes are easy to find in the park. There is a prairie dog town close to the camping area. I have knee trouble, and my wife uses a power chair. We still loved our stay.

    Little Red Tent Camping Area - Caprock Canyon State Park

    A Fantastic, Silent Camping Experience

    This place is wonderful. I came here some years ago with my father, and had to venture out and see it again. Nothing has changed, and that's a great thing. The park was virtually empty in early February, I saw a grand total of five people over my three days here. There were many bison, prarie dogs, and stars. There are loops with full hookups, but most of the primitive tent sites are walk-in, though not far from the parking areas, and all with fantastic views of the canyons & Caprock Escarpment. This park is a hikers dream! Many trails to fuel your desires. 

    The racoons will get your trash/food if they are able to get to it, even if you are in your campsite. They do not care.

    Overnight Stay

    This was an overnight stay for our trip from home in East Texas to Utah.
    Hookups are 30 or 50 amp. There is water at each site but it was off for season.
    Pay at the police station. There is a Dropbox with envelopes. $15 a night.
    Location was fine for our 35 foot 5th wheel. We were disappointed by the amount of trash around the area. Also was a homeless person staying in a tent The person let his dog roam and almost got into fights with our German Shepherd.
    If not for the trash and homeless person this could be a good cheap overnight.

    Bugs galore

    We had some issues with fire ants at our campsite, the lights around the bathroom attracted a hellish number of bugs. Spots were well spaced. The picnic shelters were awesome. The camp hosts were very friendly and responsive.

    State Park: Where the Buffalo Roam

    We were able to find an opening for 1 night at the honey flat campground, and enjoyed the solitude, scenery and wild life. Had 30 Amp hookup with water. Dumpstation and bath facilities. The sites were good size with fire rings and shaded picnic tables. Need to be aware of texas wild life. Many hiking trails and staff at the information center were nice and helpful. Need to plan trip far in advance as sites fill up quick if you plan on staying for awhile.

    A good stopover for the night

    Nice owners/managers, place is a little dated, but relatively clean. Highway noise is a constant. Has storm shelters available when needed. Gravel pull-throughs, mostly level.

    Great value and nice location

    Super easy registration, check in. Great WiFi and nice amenities. We had a huge end spot with great access to everything. On our path to the coast and I’d definitely stop here again.

    Plain Ole Beautiful...

    I was on a trip from East Texas to Colorado and back in my Overland Ford Maverick and needed one last camping spot to carry me over on the trip back to East Texas and found this little gem of a spot!

    It's not the most accommodating for those who aren't prepared (no bathrooms or showers), but the most beautiful things are usually quite basic. I had terrible weather, so I couldn't really put out the Roofnest, but I slept in the truck as best I could.

    The view when I woke up was dazzling! This spot would be amazing for a family in an RV.

    Management is super nice and they were inviting to someone without an RV, so major kuddoes!

    Spectacular views

    Checkin was so easy and super friendly. The campsites are very spacious and well kept. The most magnificent part are the views and there’s a scenic route you can drive… just beautiful! The prairie dogs are super cute and entertaining as well as the magnificence of the wild bison roaming about.

    South Prong Primitive Campsite in Caprock Canyons

    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.

    Better than Big Bend and Palo Duro Canyon

    I think that Caprock Canyons State Park is underrated, which is great for the people who visit. We'll definitely be back. 

    The campground is well maintained and easy to navigate. The views aren't as spectacular as they are at campgrounds in Palo Duro Canyon but BISON COME TO VISIT. Of course, to stay safe this often requires an exercise of patience. We were caught behind a heard of 12 or so on a hiking trail and maintaining a safe distance required a very leisurely pace, with lots of time to just take in the landscape. And we had to stand around and wait for another group to graze their way past our trailer on another occasion. But it was easy to keep our distance and they don't stay in one place long, so you just have to give them a few minutes. It was really neat to see these creatures roaming free--I thought it was a lot more exciting than seeing the herds in Yellowstone because there aren't the crowds of tourists.

    Gorgeous night skies

    I've stayed here twice now and neither time was a let down. Sites 22 and 15 were my sites but you can't really go wrong with any of them. The lack of trees around the sites is intentional, this is an International Dark Sky park after all, and you don't want anything to get in the way of your night skies viewing!

    Nice town with a nice campground .

    Five spots and four were occupied the day we stopped. Excellent areas to walk, paved sidewalks and a pond. Playground and pool in the summer. Sand burs in the grass.

    Quite Wooded Camp Site

    This campground is a good place to stargaze. The campsite itself had good shade.  It had water, a grill and a ground firepit/grill. The camp ground had nice trails and small lake for fishing.

    I called this place Bate’s park 12 yrs ago… it’s delightful now!

    I swore to not stop in Shamrock TX again, this was the only park back then it was worth missing. I’m so glad in my newest version of life, I gave it another try! Great looooong pull through and actually had good Wi-Fi! Stock animals and office/ retail improvements a nice plus. Weather was too wet to check out facilities but seems to have Rr, showers and laundry. Latest owners seem to be into making it a nice place. We will come again!

    Nice park

    A little complicated in terms of finding a place for camping if you have rooftops tents.

    The designated tent places they have you have to walk into. Unless you want to be by all the RVs, which we don’t like. They have an overflow camping space, which was perfect for us. The place is very nice and has great views. We got visited by Bison at night and early this morning. Lots of coyotes howling at night and beautiful skies.

    Fine for a 1 night stopover

    Copper Breaks State Park was a 1 night stopover for us. Sites are in a open grassy area, but nicely spaced. The bathroom was dated, but clean. There was no hot water for the shower. We didn't get to see the lake or hike any of the trails, but worked for a 1 night layover.
