Every hike is worth it. Every vista every viewpoint.. incredible," one guest shared, highlighting the spectacular setting that surrounds these glamping sites. MERUS Adventure offers particularly well-appointed glamping units with enhanced privacy, while Hackberry Campground combines the convenience of nearby restroom facilities with the immersive experience of sleeping in premium accommodations at the bottom of the second-largest canyon in the United States.

The extraordinary stargazing opportunities create memorable nighttime experiences, with several visitors noting how they turned off lights simply to admire the brilliant night sky.

Wildlife viewing opportunities abound with wild turkeys and deer frequently wandering near the glamping domes and pods. The nearby Trading Post offers essential supplies, while the park's amphitheater hosts the famous "TEXAS" musical during summer months, providing entertainment beyond the natural attractions surrounding these distinctive accommodations.

    (71 yr olds in 17’ trailer.)

    Overall Rating: 3.5 this is a nice secluded area campsites do not seem that well defined to me. I don’t believe there are any restrooms here. A nice looking equestrian area (see pictures below) with water available for horses. Since I’m not an equestrian guy, check with visitor center for specifics. Looks pretty god, but I’d wish for bathrooms on site. Security: at park entrance Usage during visit: empty Site Privacy: no Site surface: dirt Reservations: Yes Outside Road Noise: not noticeable Through Traffic in campground: no Electric Hookup: no Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: available down the road Potable Water Available: yes Bathroom: no down the road Showers: down the road Pull Throughs: yes Cell Service (AT&T): one bar Setting: open in Area West Canyon walls on both Recent Weather: 30 to 70s Solar: definitely Insects: none Host: not on site Rig Size: large rigs can fit Sites: there are no site numbers

    Quick easy access with great staff

    Quick and easy access in and out. There’s a brand new loves opening in a couple days within walking distance. Small fenced pet run with larger pet area next to it for leashed dogs. In terms of a one night stay, 5/5 for the price. Longer term stays a little lacking in the individual spot ammendities like grass and trees.

    Hackberry Campground — Palo Duro Canyon State Park

    Palo Duro Canyon State Park + Rock Formations

    For most people, it is a long drive to this park. The Palo Euro Canyon State Park is located in the Texas Panhandle. From Central Texas it is a 8-9 hour drive. The long drive is worth it. When you arrive at the park you feel like you’ve arrived to someplace special. The park is a typical Texas State Park with a number of reservable developed campsites with a table, water, electricity and restrooms nearby. There are also some basic sites without water and electricity. And of course there is primitive camping. Since we had a long drive we stayed one of the developed campsites for the first night. For the remaining days we hiked into the canyon and camped primitive. While there is a small creek that runs through the canyon, we did not use the water. There is cattle grazing throughout the park and it is rumored that the creek is both a water hole for the cattle and a toilet. We were planning an in and out hike, so we carried a couple extra gallons of water in, stashed them near a tree, then relocated and used them on the way out. The park has some really cool rock formations, cliffs and orange soil. This weather can by dry and hot in the summer, so early spring and late fall are probably the preferable time to visit.

    MERUS Adventure

    Amazing Views, and a True Overlanding Experience in Texas

    This park is Amazing! Absolutely gorgeous landscape, in the 2nd biggest canyon in the US, behind the Grand Canyon. The park is relatively new and still under development. As of the time of this review, there are only boondocking sites available, but they offer epic views of the canyon. There are miles of hiking, and MTB Trails to enjoy, and even some top notch off road trails down in the canyon, green to black skill level. If your looking for a true overlanding experience, this is one of very few places in Texas where you can get away from the crowds, and into some raw, natural land to set up your camp. This is a private park, so you'll need to be a member, or a guest of a member, to enter. They do have a few days a month open to the public, so check their website for available dates.

    Big Texan RV Ranch

    Nice well kept spot

    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.

    MERUS Adventure

    Boondockers heaven - full hookups soon

    I stayed here for several days and had an absolute blast with my dog. Met several new friends who were all boon docking since the full hookup campsites were not done yet. I even took my GMC 2500 HD off roading which I had never done before. What an experience even though I couldn’t get off the beginners trails. They have truly fantastic views everywhere you look as it’s the “Grand Canyon of Texas.”  The staff is exceptional in every way. If you’re into off roading bring a true rock climber vehicle. This place is for you but it has walking paths also.

    Oasis Amarillo Resort

    Great Mid-way Stop Between DFW area and Colorado

    Amarillo is a nice halfway point when traveling to Colorado from the DFW area. Over the years, we've stayed at various RV Resorts/Campgrounds there. Oasis is comparably priced to the others, but being on the outskirts of Amarillo, it was much quieter and we felt safer. 

    They have a beautiful swimming pool. There is a clubhouse that had a video game and a basketball game for the kids. There were puzzles, books, a kitchen area. It was very nice, quiet, roomy. They did have a hot tub, but at the time we were there, it was not in working order. 

    They have a good sized, fenced dog park. There are dog waste bags and receptacles pretty much at the end of every street. The streets in the RV Resort are named so finding our campsite was very easy. The bathrooms were plentiful throughout the Resort. Each contained a private shower. 

    We only stopped for a quick overnight to break up our drive home from Colorado. We didn't have to unhook. The sites were pretty level. We stayed in site 41. It worked fine for us, but I probably wouldn't choose that particular site again. It is right next to the restroom/laundry facility(which was very convenient), but our slide was on that side. Had it been busy, we would have heard bathroom traffic all night. But there are so many restrooms, this was not an issue. Also, the placement of the sewer hook up was out of reach. We just pulled up and dumped when we left. 

    There was a food truck there when we arrived, which was convenient. We bought our supper from there and it was nice not having to cook, or unhook to go somewhere to eat. That being said, the food from the truck was nothing to write home about. But they were friendly.
