    Cimarron Campground - Cimarron National Grassland

    One night on the plains

    Great small campground! Not busy, sites are well maintained, there is water, trash bins, and pit toilets as clean as they come. Verizon has good coverage out here. This is definitely one of my favorite campgrounds so far in the Plains states. Looks like they’ve made some recent updates to be more accessible.

    Easy & Conevnient & Free

    This is a National Grasslands picnic area that allows single night stays. A perfect location for long trip back from Utah and in area without any other options (other than RV parks). Flat parking lot with picnic tables and vaulted toilet.

    Nice Free Resting place

    We stopped for 1 night on our trip from Albuquerque to our home in Michigan. Level parking area and clean pit toilets. No water available.

    I'm sure it's prettier when the Grass is Green

    Quick, one-night stopover. Adequate for what I needed. Toilets, but no shower or water. One big rig was there when I arrived, and a cartop tent camper arrived after dark. Again, fine for me in my teardrop.

    Great little spot!

    About 20 minutes from Clayton, this spot is easy to get to with my 23ft rig with paved road the whole way. Plenty of space to turn around and park multiple rigs. It was quiet and felt safe. There are picnic tables, a fire ring, and a pit toilet.

    Good overnight stop

    Park in large parking lot with a pit bathroom about 40' in center of park. Picnic tables, but no water. Quiet, very dark- slept good.

    Quiet, free, and a potty!

    Stayed here on a road trip for the night. There are no lights, so bring your flashlight.

    Goathead Heaven!

    We got there late last night, the management was friendly and helpful, the spot was nice and flat for the RV, it was quiet and peaceful… and good Lord the goat head stickers were plentiful. My dog was a victim!!

    Great stop, peaceful and quiet

    This is a bare bones campground but was a good, quiet stop on our drive. There are composting toilets, trash cans, picnic tables, and bbqs. Clean and just what we needed

    Quiet and easy

    This is a very simple dirt parking lot with a pit toilet and some picnic tables. It is right off a road so can hear cars go by but still felt safe

    Decent Stopover

    Swing by on the way to New Mexico. The surrounding area is all flat grasslands, which don’t do much for me in terms of scenery. Bit boring. However, I would much have preferred to stay here overnight instead of the WalMart I wound up at instead! There is a toilet, picnic tables, and is very quiet and easily accessible. Wouldn’t make a trip to stay here, but would definitely use as a stopover.

    Just a stop over

    Like everyone else has stated, this is just a spot to stop over for the night. Nothing special, just a gravel lot with a grassy area. There is a restroom, so that was a plus.

    Quiet and level

    Large parking lot that is very quiet and level. The pit toilets were clean and the trash and recycling were helpful. We pulled in around 7:30pm on a Friday and there was one other van there.

    Perfect one night sleep

    Good signal Att, bathrooms, easy to get to, beautiful sun rise spot, and quite.

    At first I was a little sketched out because we got there at 3 am and it was pretty crowded but we were way to sleepy to keep going. The sun rise was amazing!!! Perfect pit stop for sleepy drivers on an adventure.

    For the bad things. Well what some people might say is bad, it’s a bit off of the main road that we were going, seems close to houses, and has no running water.

    Amazing view

    Stayed in September, lots of goat head stickers. So those with pets be aware. Great campsites, bathrooms really nice (we rooftop tent camp). We stayed in the no lights area. Such an amazing view of the stars! We were lucky with a clear night. It’s a don’t miss if you are passing through!

    Stop over.

    It is what it is. Arrived as a big storm was on the horizon. Rain all night so I didn't open my popup. It's really in the middle of nowhere and it's a giant rectangle gravel lot with log barrier. Picnic tables and a grills at some parts. Nothing but flat plains as far as you can see. Great for a stop over. No water.

    Simple campground to get through Texas

    Was heading through Texas to Utah and stopped here for the night. It’s a small picnic area that has plenty of space for tents, but not suitable for large RV’s.

    Drove there in a small Chevy Sonic so any car will make it.

    Pros:

    • Small and secluded so not many people will be there
    • Has lots of picnic tables and grills
    • Clean Vaulted Toilets
    • Has trash cans

    Cons:

    • Lots of bugs and flies swarming you
    • No water fill up
    • Extremely dewy mornings

    Wild Bills RV & Trailer Park

    Easy, but limited in some ways

    We’ve stayed a few times, there are always spaces. Just pick one and leave money in the drop box. That’s easy. But bathroom access is limited. Both times it’s been unavailable. Not the biggest of deals, but at times a little of an inconvenience. The place is clean and quiet. Stop in for a quick overnight. Oh and some spots have tables with a cover and shade trees too.
