Black Mesa lies in the panhandle or no man's land (OK) and is somewhat of a hidden gem in the rough. The park itself has some nice options and amenities. The sites were decent and spaced out well. They also included a covered area where the picnic table was. Not a ton of shade overall so it can get warm fast. Take a drive north and view the beautiful scenery including the Black Mesa site. There's also a dark sky viewing area above the campground. There is a store as well with some fun souvenirs.

Nice campground. Level sites, water available, and restrooms. Sites are separated but you will hear generators from nearby neighbors.
I only stayed one night but I would recommend the campground.
GuideNot 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.

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.
GuideGreat 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.
TravelerThere 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.
ScoutWe 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!!
GuideOnly stayed one night. The whole place was booked mainly tween boyscouts and they were obnoxious but did settle at quite hours. We got up stupid early to leave before they woke up.
TravelerStayed 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!
ScoutOnly 4 campers here. Very nice
GuideSmall 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.
GuideOne of the quietest campgrounds I’ve been to. People keep the light down to a minimum which makes for a very peaceful evening
RangerOnly 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.
ScoutCamped at the west canyon tent area and it was great. I was the only one there and the stars were beautiful
ScoutThis 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.
GuideWe 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.
GuideFacilities 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.
ScoutThis 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.
TravelerWe 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.
ScoutLevel 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.
GuideFor 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.
GuideLovely camping in the National Cimarron Grasslands. Peaceful beauty all around. Only one other camper. Highly recommend if you are looking for off the beaten path. Vault toilets and water.
TravelerVery nice park. Very level. Clean restrooms and shower. I would camp here again.
GuideThe 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!
TravelerThis 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!
TravelerJust 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
GuidePetroglyphs, 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.
