    Black Mesa night sky

    Not only were the stars and Milky Way amazing, but everyone was so respectful with dim red lights in yes. The facilities were very clean and modern. The site itself was private and comfortable. I’d happily book there again for future travel. I used a Thermocell bug device and it handled the bugs quite well.

    Convenient Stopover

    This RV Campground was very conveniently located on our route out of Texas. It was clean with well maintained camp sites. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

    Our site was at the end, away from the street, and it was quiet with some shade.

    We would definitely stay here again.

    Corral RV Park (Dalhart)

    Excellent, clean, and safe.

    There are many positive reviews about this place and I have to say they are true. Very clean and safe for a Solo Traveler. Two places to shower, use the one connected to the office as it has better water pressure. Excellent playground for families. All pull through sights for travelers. Really glad I stayed here and would definitely stay here again.

    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!!

    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!

    Completely check out for the weekend!

    Small little park but if you’re looking to completely check out and chill, this is it. There’s a cute little river with swim bitch, nice private shower, and beautiful spacious sites. Every day we saw deer and wild turkey. There’s a nice lake, hiking, and dinosaur tracks. RV sites have 30amp and water. Most hookups are on the passenger side, so make sure your hose and cable are long enough.

    Beautiful place

    Only stayed 2 nights but it was amazing. The stargazing is as great as advertised. Not busy at all when we were here, probably 50% capacity.

    Brand new shower houses. Some decent hikes. It's a half hour drive to Boise City for fuel, groceries so come prepared.

    A Beautiful Welcome to the Wild West

    This secluded park is seated right on the start of a semi-arid climate. Shortly before arrival from the east the grass turns golden and and you begin to see varieties of cactus and yucca. Upon entering the park we were greeted by a small herd of pronghorn deer bouncing along the road. We also ran into a herd of mule deer in the park that were quite accustomed to people, they let me get within 10 yards of them before the bolted. The park has all the amenities you’d expect of a state park; showers, toilets, and established camp sites with fire rings, grills and picnic tables. However the seclusion was not expected. The nearest town where you can get supplies and gas is Boise 36 miles east of the park. The park is situated around a small lake which is partially surrounded by small limestone cliffs. There are a few trails to hike varying in length and difficulty from a stroll in nature to a bit of exercise, nothing to extreme though. After heading west out of the park to Black Mesa itself the geography changes rapidly from small limestone formations and boulders to large sandstone canyons out of a Wild West movie where outlaws would be hiding and mountain lions would be (and still are) stalking their prey. The beginning of the trail up the Mesa has a small parking lot and is a 4 hour hike to the top. The area is popular for the star gazing unfortunately it was overcast the nights we were there but the scenery and wildlife was beautiful enough to make up for the lack of stars. All in all it was great and highly recommended for families and those looking for a secluded far from civilization camping experience but still wanting the amenities of a maintained park.

    Beautiful night time skies and nice campground

    We stopped at Black Mesa State Park so that my husband could get some nighttime pics and see the dinosaur tracks. We met wonderful folks in the camp and had a great time. Will visit again. The Park Ranger was very helpful in giving directions to the dinosaur tracks.

    Not State Park quality

    Facilities are in need of TLC. Sewer system was broken. Inside of Ranger Station looked like a mess with lounge chair and coffee pot, personal items, and live reptiles on display that are not native to the area. Maintenance guy was our only contact with park staff, and he was so tired he initially snapped at me, then apologized profusely. He entered us into the computer so we could register a site which is the only way to get one. Next morning the electricity went out and with it the water pump. We left in a hurry. The natural part of the park is great, although I am concerned about the lack of bird species at this migratory time.

    Perfect.

    This small campground is a special experience. Driving to this off the beaten path site is a worthwhile adventure. If you are thinking about exploring through the area make this a stop. The well tended facilities, cleanliness, and quiet all made for a perfect experiences.

    Oasis in the middle of nowhere

    We chose to stay at Black Mesa on our way back from a week in Colorado, when we were about 30 miles from the park we started to wonder what we got into. The landscape driving up to the park is like desert. To our surprise we pulled into a little oasis in the middle of big country. It is parks like this one that makes me so happy to be RV’ing. On our way back to Colorado next year we will stay here for a week and enjoy this awesome place. If you want to be off the grid, this is the place to come.

    Good overnight campground

    Level lots, easy to find and plenty of space. Staff was very friendly and accommodating when we arrived.

    Facilities are out dates. Playground leaves much to be desired. Dog walk is literally a strip of grass in the back by the road where a dog can walk I guess, honestly not really sure. WiFi might be the slowest I have ever experienced.

    As I mentioned though, everything is clean, and a good place to stay the night.

    Pleasant Stay at Black Mesa

    For nostalgia, we decided to stay at Black Mesa…just as we did 30 years ago. We had such a delightful (tent) camping experience in 1991 that we wanted to take our family back in our RV. The ranger checked us in and narrowed down the list of RV sites to choose from. We ultimately chose #13, near the office/WiFi. Everyone enjoyed that! (No cell service though to let family know we arrived safely.) Water and electric was on the opposite side. Kind of weird; but we made it work as our power was long enough to reach. Bath house (womens) had 2 restroom stalls and 2 separate bath stalls with curtains, hook and a small metal table. (1 was handicap accessible with ramp and shower hose.) Water was warm. Tile was rust stained, from well water, I suppose. Needed to be cleaned a bit; but was not terrible. (Didn’t smell and had plenty of tp.) Cool tree growing inside a giant rock. Picnic bench placed in between where rock had split. (near bath house) Overall, nice stay even though we didn’t stay long enough for activities.

    Disperse tent camper

    The night sky was very dark and starry. Other campers had telescopes and were very friendly. It appeared under staffed, and the one ranger there looked very tired (possibly alil over worked). Showers were outdated and had like warm to cold water, but I was still very grateful! Had "0" Verizon cell service, and that was Awesome!

    Stormy night

    This was an amazing camping trip! Very spotty cellphone service (which is good!) except when there is severe weather. Prepare for anything! The hike up to black Mesa was relatively easy and well marked. Want to return soon!

    What a well kept park!

    Just passing thru on trip to Nebraska. arrived early evening, the parking area is really well kept and the gravel parts are 95% level, we didn't need to do any additional leveling. I believe all sites are full hookup. It was February all we needed was 30 amp electric. We would definitely stay here again

    All worth it for the sky alone

    Petroglyphs, dinosaur tracks, incredible wildlife, and of course the awe-inspiring night sky. Plan your trip during a new moon for best results.

    Campground has showers, flush toilets, private tent sites, and a nice swimming spot.

    A little hard to navigate but be sure to bring the high clearance vehicle and you’ll be fine.

    Black Mesa State Park Campground

    Loved the area...warmed up to the camp

    Like some other reviews have said, the state park isn't at Black Mesa...just near it.

    The area itself has plenty of cool things - Black Mesa, wonderful changing views, dinosaur tracks, petrified forest. Some of those things are at the state park, others are "nearish".

    The campground itself - well, when I showed up I wasn't very impressed. Facilities are outdated and not well cared for. I don't blame the people working there. Probably just a funding thing, especially being so far from the population and capitol of Oklahoma. It's a shame because a lot of people pass through this corner and it might be their only impression of Oklahoma.

    But friendly neighbors, great evening weather and some nice star watching despite thin clouds made me warm up to the place.

    Some spots are have big nice shade trees, but with all the star watching you might actually want a spot without trees.

    No Verizon service but AT&T was strong enough to FaceTime with.

    Next time I come back to the area - and I hope to - I will check out camping options at some of the nearby bed and breakfasts. Would love to see the state invest a little in this camp. I don't think it would take much.

    Small but a great stop

    This is a small park but has some really nice views. This is a great place to stop for a day or two as you are traveling. There is a place to see dinosaur tracks and also 3 corners (Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma). Highest point in Oklahoma, but you wouldn’t know it. When you get on top of the flats you can see for a ways! Watch for snakes on the trails but worth the early morning or late evening hike.
