Big Texan RV Ranch

We stayed here mainly to take advantage of the free “limo” ride to the steakhouse. We didn’t arrive early enough to use the small indoor pool (closed at seven) and while my kids were super excited to get on the blob and bounce around, the weather wasn’t great. The actual campsite was fine - level, hook-ups all good and check- in was fairly smooth (you have to wait to be escorted to your site). I would say this is a bit more geared toward the older folks - my older son was chastised for touching a metal gas pump in the office (literally just touched) and both times we used the limo to the steakhouse, seniors walked right in front of us to get into the car even though we were clearly waiting (and it only leaves every hour). It’s a fairly crowded campsite, but the location is very central to Amarillo attractions and right off I-40 so not a bad place to spend a night.

Good stop for a night or two as your traveling through Amarillo

Park is very clean and staff is very nice and accommodating. Fist site was next to a rv with loud kids and dog. Staff moved us with no problems. Facilities are very nice.

I would stay here again just because of the staff working there. They are friendly, helpful and just nice people. 

Full hook ups, were escorted to site after checking in. Site was level, able to setup our camp stove and eat outside without feeling like other campers were right on top of you.

The showers are great, large you have a raised area with a chair to put items while you shower, good water pressure. Large sink area also.

3 separate dog runs based on size of your dog.

Great place to relax after a long day of traveling.

Everything is great here, nice pool, good WiFi and hookups. Very friendly people.

Basic RV park, clean and convenient off expressway. Staff was nice and we were escorted to our site. Site was gravel but fairly level. Bathroom and shower was clean. Two dog parks were clean.

This is our second stay in a month. Park is not nearly as busy and we were escorted to our site just as before. I was a bit surprised after passing numerous empty spaces that we were taken to the back part of the lot and placed snugly between two other trailers. 

If we were staying more than one night I would have requested a different site.  In my previous review I mentioned light sleepers may want to request back of the park sites but now that I’m here, it won’t matter. The noise level is the same.

Unable to join wifi and tried for over an hour. Didn’t have this problem on the previous stay so could be the site location. I still have good cell service. Cable is still bad.

Note - The Big Texan restaurant no longer delivers and their online order site is still not up and running. The “to go” girls don’t start work until 5p so we were unable to place an order over the phone but we could come in person to the main bar and place our order there, which is what we did.

They seem to be replacing their picnic tables as there was a huge pile of them on the east side of the park. The new blue ones brighten up the place. 

Price was $41.40 with a Good Sam discount.

Pros: Good Sam Campground Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP) Huge pull thru site Level site Picnic table on-site Playground Indoor Pool Hot tub (adults only) Friendly staff

Cons: Limited shade Gravel

Great spot for a layover day while headed west. Staff is friendly, park is very clean, and sites while simple and stark are quite wide. Given the flat and gravel terrain, it isn’t quite private but you’re not on top of your neighbor by any means. Great spot to stay!

The park has all the amenities one could ask for. Pool, hot showers, full hook-ups and family friendly atmosphere. 

WIFI is PAINFULLY slow and their router is too weak to manage that many connections. 

When a blizzard hit, the entire park lost power and we weren't notified or assured of anything. We couldn't reach anyone at the office for 8 hours the power was out. 

Otherwise, a great place.

Very organized! They even called and gave me instructions of where to find my map and site info, since we were coming in late. Right off the highway, so some noise, but also comes with the convenience of popping in and out. Clean sites and easy pull throughs.

Needed a little place for the night. Check in was easy and we were escorted right to our pull thru site. Temperature was supposed to drop well below freezing that night and the staff made sure we were prepared. Perhaps it was the time of year but the office closed pretty early. They do offer a complimentary shuttle service to the big steak house nearby. I guess if you eat the 72oz steak it’s not safe to drive?

This campground is very easy to get to from I-40. Check in was very efficient…they even called me to see when we’d be arriving in case we needed self check-in.

Three nice dog parks. We stayed in a pull through site, and it was all gravel, but very easy to get to. Sites were a little too close for my liking.

We only booked one night as we are passing through and wanted to do the Big Texan Steakhouse. Park is big, clean, and staff is very nice. A little road noise from the I 40 but that never bothers us.

Internet is good

Nice park full hook ups with nice roads and very open

Made a quick stop on our way to red river

I was impressed. Going forward, this will be the paragon that I use to evaluate other campgrounds.

Pulled in without a reservation for a one night stay. All pull-thru lots were booked. They allowed us to stay in a back-in monthly rental. Site has mostly long term RVs. Lots are gravel but really level. Have ok cell service. They offer wifi but it is not the best. Famous Big Texan does deliver food to your RV. Sites have full hookups plus cable. Would only stay here again if I was driving late and needed a place just to rest.

Big Texan was easy to get into and out of.  Staff is very friendly and helpful to find and land in your site.  Lots of pull throughs.  Do not miss the Bix Texan steakhouse just down the road, with dropoff and pickup service from the RV park.  It is a Texas tradition.

This campground is great looks like it’s lots of fun in the summer. We only stayed 1 night but we did have a limo pick us up and take us to the steak house. Very nice staff full hook ups heated indoor pool.

We were just passing through, I wanted a good steak and a rest, we got both. Very convenient easy off and on to 40. The steakhouse delivers to campsite, so that was perfect. I didn't have to disconnect, nice level sites. Got early start back on journey next morning. We look forward to stopping here again! No I didn't order the roast, just a quality steak cooked perfectly. Great job, Big Texan!

First RV park we've EVER stayed at. We were driving our new RV from Alvarado, TX to Albuquerque, NM and stopped in Amarillo for the night. After 6 hours of my first RV trip, I was really ready to rest! We arrived a little after 7, so they had called me mid-afternoon to confirm we were coming and gave us instructions for after-hours check-in. We found our spot immediately (they had left us a map with our spot circled and arrows to guide us...low tech but simple). Settled in.  Power was great. All other hook-ups a breeze.

The next morning, we had a chance to look around. I doubt any RV parks are glorious to look at, but I appreciated that they had curved streets, so it didn't just look like row after row of RVs, but like a little neighborhood. Plenty of dumpsters around to get rid of trash. A nice "club house" with necessities as well as gift items. Friendly staff. The restrooms were a bit stark...but serviceable. The bar is now pretty high for RV parks of the future for us.

(By the way, we had never eaten at The Big Texan even after years of driving past it. We decided to celebrate there. Call them and they will send a limo over to the RV park to transport you! That was fun, and frankly, since we didn't have a tow car...a big cost savings over Uber.)

Stayed one night. Grounds are well kept. Staff very helpful. Level gravel parking spots with full utilities. Ours was pull through. 3 fenced dog areas. They are small but fine. Since during Covid did not use facilities so can’t report on them. Fairly large park so can walk dogs around on leash. Not a ton of grass but sufficient. Near interstate so some noise but not terrible. Also heard a train. Overall nice spot to stay.

We stopped for a quick overnight stay on our way to Yellowstone. It has big spots that are pull through and the greatest thing was the Big Texas Steakhouse delivered!! We didn’t get in until 9:00 and they deliver all the way until 10:00.

Had such an amazing time and everyone was very helpful and friendly. We will be back soon that’s for sure.

Stayed here a few years ago for one night. Sites were level, access to the Big Texan Steakhouse was great, and hookups worked great. Road noise and wind noise were a little more than we would have liked, but otherwise it was a perfect place to get off the highway and rest.

This is a actually the location for the “Big Texan” RV ranch. Hot and dry in July with limited shade. Has two fenced in small areas for dogs. Laundry room was clean. Bathrooms were locked. Sites are almost all gravel with a little grass. There’s a music venue across the road that might be fun but it was not open. Not my favorite spot.

We have stayed here a view times! Great place to stop for the night! Big indoor pool, play ground and store! Level sites , pull thru’s with full hookup’s! One night we drive out to Palo Duro Park to see the musical Texas! Lots of fun!

We searched and searched for a good campsite that had restrooms and showers. How happy we were to find the Big Texan RV Ranch! Not only good restrooms and showers, but an indoor pool, hot tub, 3 enclosed dog parks, very friendly desk staff and folks that escort you to your site. Do call ahead to let them know you are coming, as they fill up. The price for full hookups, with our Good Sam discount was $36 a night.
