    Oasis Amarillo Resort

    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.

    Texhoma Park Campground

    One night perfection

    Perfect for an overnight stop., on the way to somewhere else. Spots are easy pull through, all paved, but does have some issues if it's rained recently with puddles. Has a dog park, water and dump. Sites are all the same with Handicap accessible areas to dog park and around camping plug-in sites.  bathrooms are cinderblock, building construction with plunged toilet and sink, no shower.

    It’s okay

    This 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
