I went to Caprock Canyons state park during December and almost had the park to myself. It is a wonderful park offering great hiking and camping as well as lots of wildlife to view. The Bison herd was the highlight but I also encountered mule deer, prairie dogs, and roadrunners. I camped at Little Red and if you arrive early enough to claim the campsite at the point, it is FANTASTIC!

In addition to Little Red, there are backcountry campsites available as well as a campsite with water and electrical hook-ups. I spent three nights in the park and used the hot showers on my way out to wash off grime and the smell of wood smoke. It made the drive home a little more enjoyable.
