Initially we thought the place was great after dinner we decided to go for ice cream when we came back there was a car parked in our spot a woman got and got into a truck so we parked one spot over after 15 minutes they returned and she got back in her car pretty sure she was a “professional” wink wink lol then two trucks pulled in parked next to each other in opposite directions one passed cash to the other then was handed a small bag. Not a safe vibe if we weren’t with our son we might stay but now looking for a new spot

We stayed 2 weekday nights in early November and there were only a few others that were camping so it was quiet and peaceful. Campsites were well taken care of with water and electric at all sites. Bathrooms were clean. The showers were great- free and hot water!

Great spot to overnight. Free electrical and water. Free dump station. Donations excepted. City park one block away. Restaurants within walking distance.
GuideI always stop here on my to North TX from Southern New Mexico. Gorgeous dunes and sunrises and sunsets from anywhere at this camp. The bathrooms are always super clean and there are even showers!
GuideGood service on the park. No privacy, close each campsite. Great for walking and sunset views
GuideA wonderfully unique campground amongst the dunes. Besides boondocking in the desert I'm not sure of very many other places where you can do that. Facilities are acceptable, nothing really to complain about. Had a sandstorm whip through our last couple days and that was rough, not only was it hard to be outside, but the dunes encroached on certain sites, including ours. But we survived just fine and it was cool experience!
Guide
Full hookups, which was nice. But the WiFi was essentially useless, which would have been nice in this otherwise unremarkable locale.
GuideWell, I normally mark down campsite for having the spaces too close together. This park does not really have the options for white separation between sites. The scenery is stunning and beautiful pull through and back in sit, as well as electricity and water facilities are excellent. Well maintained in the showers are nice.
GuideYou can pay at the courthouse or just see the county commissioner who works at the maintenance shed at the park.

Only camper here tonight. Lots of electric sites. Water at wash house.
LegendDowntown Andrew's Texas for free. Can't beat it. Electric, water and dump up to 3 days.
GuideStayed 3 nights for free. Donations accepted. 5 sites available on a first come, first serve basis. Used 30 amp and water hook ups. 50 amp also available. Trash and waste disposal on site too. City park a block away. Clean and safe. Chamber personnel are welcoming and kind.
Scoutit was $10 and I showed up at 8 PM and there was plenty of spots available even without a reservation.
RangerThis park is very cool. It’s not as interesting as White Sands or Great Sand Dunes, but what it does have that those National Parks don’t is the ability to camp right on the dunes. Spectacular sunsets and night skies.
ScoutGreat place for a longterm or short term stay. Affordable and quiet. Easy access from freeway and close to Midland city for restaurants.
GuideGreat spot in what seems to be an area without a lot of camping. Stayed one night passing through. A bit windy. Super close to interstate and train, but noise wasn't an issue. Super clean facilities. Gorgeous dunes. The sunrise and sunsets are special!
RangerThis is Oil Country! As far as the eye can see…… and this is basically a field that they’ve bulldozed and put in full hook ups and rented out monthly to oil field workers. You can smell it on the breeze. You can use your passport america card here for 1/2 off, so it was $20 - which is a decent price. The Wi-Fi is good. You can hear the highway traffic. There are no other amenities as far as I can tell.
LegendStayed one night at this campground located just off I20. In a nutshell, It is like camping at the beach without the ocean. Strong winds and sand dunes everywhere! Fun for kids to slide down the dunes. No shade. Was an interesting stopover.
Traveler
Not bad for just an overnight stay, however the lots are small. Had a back-in site. Staff escorted me to the site and helped me back in (which was very nice), however was right by the road. The main part of the park looked very nice, but this was like the overflows area.
TravelerLovely lake with FREE three day parking, mini water play area, vault potties, playground and bike paths galore. There is some medium road noise that we found to be of no consequence
LegendStopped in for a night. Pretty dunes but not my cup of tea but I can appreciate it.
GuideVery convenient state park. Very clean and well kept. Sound seems to carry so you can hear all the conversations in the campground.
LegendNice and quite campground. Sand dunes are cool and o see but hard to walk in with the sand so soft. Sites are spacious and have a picnic table. Good for a day or 2 stay. Only downside is no sewer hookup at site but does have a dump station close by.
ScoutGreat place. It is a small campground but all the pads are level. Bathrooms are clean. It’s quite, sand dunes and sky are a sight to see. We enjoyed our two day stay.
GuideVery friendly and welcoming staff, very level spots, bathroom was clean and upscale, and it was an overall quiet environment. As they have mailboxes and it’s close to a grocery store, it’s somewhere I would stay for a longer period as well to check out more of Woody Harrelson’s hometown ☺️✌️
RangerReserved at spot at Monahan's Sandhills just because it was a good stopping place on our way from Dallas to Big Bend. I didn't do much research and didn't know what to expect (honestly, my expectations were low, with all of the drilling activity going on in the Permian Basin). When we pulled in to the campground from I-20 I was shocked by the beauty of it.
In October 2022, the visitor center was closed for renovations but I think it will be really nice once it's finished. The campsites were pretty well spread out and the facilities were good. But I couldn't get over how unique the landscape was. Definitely a hidden gem. Perfect pit-stop on the way to Big Bend but would also be a great place to stay for a few days.
