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.

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.

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.

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.

Amarillo KOA
A few things to do
We came in to this campground late. They had a pool but it was closed when we arrived. Sites were small, but accommodating. The playground was a big hit after a long drive. Restrooms were clean and showers were free. We couldn't stake our tents down, the ground was kind of hard. But for our overnight it fit the bill. The sites had picnic tables and grills, sort of. They weren't at each site, almost like a shared grill setup. They also had a small area for dogs to exercise if you brought your pup along.

Big Texan RV Ranch
Not what the pictures show on the Dyrt
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.

Hackberry Campground — Palo Duro Canyon State Park
Beautiful state park near Amarillo, TX
This park is just beautiful! The multiple campgrounds are all good. Many with electric and water. Bathrooms clean. Everything well maintained. Multiple hiking trails to explore on. Very steep and curvy main road through the park. Be ready! But it's worth it!
