Best Campgrounds near Canyon, TX

Road is paved to the access roads to the sites. From the paved road is dirt, so if it rains beware.
All sites have a pavilion with two picnic tables, a couple of bear proof trash cans, and a vault toilet.
No grills or fire pits. No running water or showers.

We had a great stay here during our 7 days. A couple of nights there were other campers but typically only for a night or two. While this wildlife refuge has not had any water in close to 50 years it is still beautiful. Easy access to Canyon City, Palo Duro Canyon State Park and of course Amarillo.

We did a full campground review along with details of all the resources available in the area (Laundry, Groceries, Popane, Water etc.)

Flush toilets, clean bathrooms, showers in center of loop. Lots of hiking trails. Dump station was on the way out. Thunderstorm with lightning show while there. Site backed up against river with nice trail. Did not get chance to explore other trails.

It’s pretty good. It has picnic tables under awnings, fire rings, grills, bear proof trash cans and plenty of dumpsters all around. It does have a toilet. No shower.

As others have mentioned, not a campground at all. Its a roadside picnic area. 2 covered picnic tables, one grill. Trash cans available but nothing else. Its super quiet and got a great night's sleep with spectacular views in the morning.

Great spot at the bottom of the Canyon, very close to lighthouse trail. Near bathrooms, several trailheads, and has a great view all around.

Be aware, this is just a highway pull off picnic area. The views are STUNNING but this isn’t exactly a campsite. Luckily, There are no signs that say “no camping”. Paved lot with picnic tables, grills, and trash cans. I don’t feel comfortable staying here for more than a night, as I’m sure during the day it gets a lot of visits from people passing through, but it was a great little spot for one night. Was not bothered by anyone. If you position your car thoughtfully, no one can see you from the road.

We chose Sagebrush because we felt it was the nicest with paved roads, lots of vegetation, privacy and close to the trading post! We were in site 120 and had a wonderfully secluded fire ring space at the back of our coach. Short walk/cut through to the trading post and bathrooms. You MUST do the lighthouse trail but beware take lots of water even in February it’s longer than you think. And a little tricky at the end!

This is a Loves RV stop with included WiFi. Spots have a picnic table and cement slab, I think 2 have covers. Small trash can but sufficient. There were only 2 other rigs in the RV section with us. It was pretty noisy with the interstate traffic.

Showers inside Loves to use, discounted to $10 from the usual $18. There is a laundry room with a few washers/dryers for $3 each use

This is a beautiful overlook but a pretty long drive with no cell coverage or amenities. Although it may be a good option for people with an RV setup, as a solo female with just an SUV to sleep in, I felt too exposed to stay here.

Google maps led me to the wrong place (close!).  It was late, and a quiet area, so I pulled over at a small turn off on the left side of the road, near a small information sign and a small white shack for observing wildlife.  Minimal car traffic and no problems sleeping.  I was roughly near 34.895448,-102.111600

The campground has basic amenities like water, restrooms, and picnic tables at most sites, ensuring a comfortable stay for both RV and tent campers. While the park can get busy, Hackberry often provides a quieter experience compared to some of the other campgrounds in the area. You might encounter native wildlife like idle breakout roadrunners, wild turkeys, and even deer, which adds to the natural charm.

Fortress Cliff is definitely one of the more primitive sites in the park. Porta potties only whereas some have full showers and flush toilets. Sites are spacious and shaded making this still a great site.

Planned on spending only one night here but due to weather ended up staying for two nights. The campground is in a little town that basically has nothing. The campground owners Leisha and David are super nice and live there. The campground is in great shape. Sites are level and full hook ups with pull through sites were $30. They also had laundry, Wi-Fi, showers and also cabins for rent. Wednesday through Sunday. They also had a food truck that was open from I believe 5 til 8 where they served a bunch of different types of food.

The Grand Canyon of Texas. Nice camping sites. Excellent trail system. Breathtaking views. No cell phone service with Spectrum.

Traveling from KY to AZ. 36 foot fifth wheel, tow vehicle and second car. Stopped here for 2 nights. Site 85. 50/30/20A and water. No sewer, but 2 dump stations in park. After backing in (very easy) realized it can be used as a pull through entering in front of site 87. Very roomy site. Covered picnic table and fire ring/grill. Didn't use restrooms or showers, but they were clean. Most of site is red dirt, but parked on asphalt and picnic table is on concrete pad. Close to level. If you've never been here, the Mesquite camp area is like 5 or 6 miles past the park entrance gate. Steep grade into canyon and curvy road. Now for the experience. Although some would complain about some things in this park we were able to overlook any problems (we had none anyway) because it was so beautiful. This is the nicest park we've been to in several years. Great scenery, trails everywhere and wildlife. We saw mule deer, roadrunners, rabbits, turkey, lizards, huge centipede, longhorns and lots of birds. Sat at bird viewing station behind the tradepost for a while and saw many different birds. It was hot during the day and cool at night in September. Would definitely stay again. If ess are listed they will include fees for 3 vehicles.

Nice overnight stop for the price. There were longhorn cows and llamas that came up to the fence in the back of the park. Close to town yet in the country. Full-time residents there but are quiet.

We are traveling through from CO to AR and needed a place to stay for one night. We found Plum Creek and decided to check it out. The middle campground was perfect - we were the only ones there. Very clean vault toilet right by the site, trash cans clean and empty at camp. There were open range cattle nearby but they were just curious and didn't bother us. We loved our stay and will keep this in mind for future trips passing through. Beautiful sunset views too!

Great spot for horse lovers! The facilities are basic but perfect for a fun camping experience with your horses. Just remember to book in advance!
