"Great fun , so pretty , awesome hiking and biking , pet friendly . We stayed 3 days in late February weather was amazing ."
"The hiking trails are well maintained and are very enjoyable to walk along. The campsites are nicely spaced and have big picnic tables."
"What an incredible entrance! We unhooked our toad before heading into the canyon, and I'm glad we did. The drive was stunning, especially for us Floridians not used to such drops."
"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."
"Unexpected beautiful canyon in northern Texas! Beautiful views and clean, well maintained tent sites! Many trails walking distance from your camp and shared water spigots near sites."

"Awesome location for touring anything in Las Vegas. Two pools, dog walking areas and a large dog park. Great cell service and the staff was awesome."
"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."

"Palo Duro Canyon reminds me a lot of Southern Utah with it's mountain biking and hiking trails. It’s a 20 minute drive from Amarillo, Texas."

ScoutQuick 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.
GuideAwesome night stop for our travel. Excellent dog park. Excellent staff. Little noisy with highway traffic near ish and dumpster truck came at like 4 am. Other then that awesome playground and park area.
GuideThis was a one night stop for us. Which this seems like a decent one nighter park, wouldn’t stay longer than that.
Pros: -Concrete (level) Pads -Full Hook ups -Easy access from interstate
Cons: -It’s like a parking lot -Bathrooms/trash/dog park are all a really long walk unless you happen to be parked near them. And the way it’s laid out you can’t walk to the amenities unless you walk up and down the rows or walk through other people’s area (no paths). -Long term stay and short term all mixed together, so people’s sites are full of junk everywhere -Bathrooms are sooo muggy
TravelerTraveling I40 west. Good overnight stop for us. RV park is pristine. Clean & well maintained. Private restroom with shower and very clean. Traveling with a dog and glad to have the dog park. Would definitely stay here again.
TravelerStayed here one night. Great indoor pool with sauna and hot tub. Fenced areas for three separate dog parks. Good level sites. Will stay here again.
RangerBasic 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.
ScoutWhile there is no camping anywhere in the park, it does have a lot of recreational things happening in all corners. The “lake” is part of a larger controlled water way that is part of Lubbock Lake Park complex. The main entrance off of Broadway Ave is poorly maintained by the city (like many others around LBK) but once inside there are a multitude of things to do.
Frisbee golf. A very large and meandering course through trees, grass, bridges and a floating island, it plays host to tournaments often.
Canyon Run Dog Park. Do happy the city finally made this happen. Two sides of the same fenced area equal more than 5 acres of well maintained doggy play area. Huge old Oaks provide plenty of shelter with benches scattered about.
Fishing galore in the lake. Busy all day long and stocked frequently. 4th of July fishing derby packs the lake.
Joyland. A dated but busy amusement park is open late spring through mid fall.
Scattered trails with signs giving length and direction can be found often through large trees areas and open grass areas.
Baseball, softball, golf and a Prairie Dog Town can be found in the N and NE corners.
