    Monahans Sandhills State Park

    Great Dunes and Perfect Pit Stop

    I 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!

    Unique Spot Among the Dunes

    A 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!

    Hardscrabble Texas

    Full hookups, which was nice.  But the WiFi was essentially useless, which would have been nice in this otherwise unremarkable locale.

    Super cool place to

    Well, 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.

    Great!

    Stayed 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.

    Outstanding State Park

    This 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.

    Great Location and quite place

    Great place for a longterm or short term stay.  Affordable and quiet.  Easy access from freeway and close to Midland city for restaurants.

    Sandy Oasis

    Great 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!

    Ok place to spend the night

    This 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.

    Monahans Sandhills State Park

    Interesting place

    Stayed 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.

    Midessa Oil Patch RV Park

    Nice staff however lots are small and cramped

    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.

    Sweet Little Campground

    Lovely 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

    Quite campground

    Nice 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.

    Monaghan’s State Park

    Great 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.

    Palms of Paradise RV Park

    Great!

    Very 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 ☺️✌️

    This is Texas!?

    Reserved 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.

    Mesquite Oasis RV Park

    No shaded area, a bit pricey for what you get

    $50 a night with full hookup, but a little pricey in my opinion for what you get. No shaded area. Does have a pool and laundry area. Roses BBQ within 6 minutes away was good. Site was pull through. There are long term campers.

    Unique stay

    This is kinda out there with not a lot around, but we went for the experience of the sand so it didn’t bother us. the sandhills were a lot of fun and you can rent sleds to slide down the hills. Get ready to have sand everywhere though!

    KOA Kampgrounds of America

    Clean showers, laundry too. Campsite is cramped though.

    We came here as it was late I’m the day and we had nowhere to stay for the night. This KOA had plenty of spots and some laundry machines and shower which was awesome.

    It’s like a typical RV park, very close quarters. The facilities are clean, and it has a dog park too.

    The site is right off of the highway and has plenty of traffic, so be prepared for lots of noise around. $40/night is what we paid.
