  Equestrian Campground — Palo Duro Canyon State Park

  Horses and Trails

  Equestrian: at Paul Duro, State, Park (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

  (71 yr olds in 17’ trailer.)

  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. A nice looking equestrian area (see pictures below) with water available for horses. Since I’m not an equestrian guy, check with visitor center for specifics. Looks pretty god, but I’d wish for bathrooms on site. Security: at park entrance Usage during visit: empty Site Privacy: no Site surface: dirt Reservations: Yes Outside Road Noise: not noticeable Through Traffic in campground: no Electric Hookup: no Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: available down the road Potable Water Available: yes Bathroom: no down the road Showers: down the road Pull Throughs: yes Cell Service (AT&T): one bar Setting: open in Area West Canyon walls on both Recent Weather: 30 to 70s Solar: definitely Insects: none Host: not on site Rig Size: large rigs can fit Sites: there are no site numbers

  Hackberry Campground — Palo Duro Canyon State Park

  Sharing Area with Prairie Dogs

  Hackberry in Palo Duro 3/24 Overall Rating: 4.25 Our site, # 10 is close to a 5 out of 5. Many sites would be less than that, in my opinion, because of the lack of privacy. See below Security: Yes.

Site Spacing: Most sites have good spacing . Pad surface: blacktop Reservations: You better make them well in advance. Campground Noise: Quiet Outside Road Noise: Sites 1-9 will have traffic noise from the park road. Through Traffic in campground: No Electric Hookup: Yes Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: Yes Potable Water Available: At site Bathroom: Clean flush toilets Showers: Yes. Curtained Pull Throughs: Some Cell Service (AT&T): 1 to 2 bars. Short drive for 3 bars Setting: Deciduous forest in the canyon Recent Weather: 30s to upper 60s Insects: None Rig Size: Medium rigs.

  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.

  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!

  Hackberry Campground — Palo Duro Canyon State Park

  Palo Duro Canyon State Park + Rock Formations

  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. When you arrive at the park you feel like you’ve arrived to someplace special. The park is a typical Texas State Park with a number of reservable developed campsites with a table, water, electricity and restrooms nearby. There are also some basic sites without water and electricity. And of course there is primitive camping. Since we had a long drive we stayed one of the developed campsites for the first night. For the remaining days we hiked into the canyon and camped primitive. While there is a small creek that runs through the canyon, we did not use the water. There is cattle grazing throughout the park and it is rumored that the creek is both a water hole for the cattle and a toilet. We were planning an in and out hike, so we carried a couple extra gallons of water in, stashed them near a tree, then relocated and used them on the way out. The park has some really cool rock formations, cliffs and orange soil. This weather can by dry and hot in the summer, so early spring and late fall are probably the preferable time to visit.

  Awesome place

  Absolutely loved our stay here. Booked it on the day of our stay on the app. Having to flee bad weather and horrible prior stay. The staff was so helpful, friendly and provided awesome recommendations in the area. Sites are nice for plains. Hook ups, wifi and cable were great. Super clean bathrooms and laundry facilities. We got a 4 night stay, even though they usually cap stays at 3 nights. Small clean dog park, and pool (not open yet). Must see Palo duro state park in the area. Only negatives: train and airport noise. Had to level rig a bit, but not bad. Even prairie dogs close to property. Which was cool to see.

  Cute KOA - access to all of Amarillo

  We were in site #12. We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-through. We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.

  The site was easy to level.

  Our site was not shaded with limited trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors very close.

  The lot does not have a concrete patio or fire ring but has a picnic table.

  It is an easy access to the campground from highway -(approximately 1 mile from highway).

  There is free WiFi. They do not offer Cable TV but there are many channels.

  They do not sell wood since fire burning is not permitted (only charcoal).

  They do not provide garbage service at your site so you must walk to garbage dumpster (located through out the park).

  You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.

  They do have a heated Swimming pool.

  There is a Playground. There are not any additional play areas like Bocce ball, shuffleboard, basketball sport court, or volleyball courts.

  They have a great general store. They sell limited food & alcohol as well.

  The streets are gravel so not great for riding bikes. There is not really anywhere to ride bikes outside of campground.

  They have cabins for rent and tent areas.

  They have 2 shower houses. The shower house has the typical stalls. These are kept very clean.

  There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. There are approximately 6 washers and 3 large dryers. It is approximately $2 to wash and approximately $2 to dry a load.

  They have two side-by-side fenced in dog parks.

  There were no trails to hike in the campground.

  Some fun things to do outside of the campground are Cadillac Ranch, Palo Duro Canyon state park (a must do - also stop at the Sad Monkey Mercantile for wine, beer, pizza) and Route 66 Motor Speedway (quite entertaining). The Texan Steak Ranch was delicious and a fun experience (reservations can be made on OpenTable). Also visit the Paramount Social Club (a speakeasy). This is located in the basement of the Barfield Hotel (pull the lever on the cigarette machine to access the secret door).

  MERUS Adventure

  Amazing Views, and a True Overlanding Experience in Texas

  This park is Amazing! Absolutely gorgeous landscape, in the 2nd biggest canyon in the US, behind the Grand Canyon. The park is relatively new and still under development. As of the time of this review, there are only boondocking sites available, but they offer epic views of the canyon. There are miles of hiking, and MTB Trails to enjoy, and even some top notch off road trails down in the canyon, green to black skill level. If your looking for a true overlanding experience, this is one of very few places in Texas where you can get away from the crowds, and into some raw, natural land to set up your camp. This is a private park, so you'll need to be a member, or a guest of a member, to enter. They do have a few days a month open to the public, so check their website for available dates.

  Amarillo KOA

  Friendly and Quiet

  I arrived late on a Saturday evening and they were full but the very nice young lady at check in let me squeeze my little TAXA TigerMoth into a van/tent spot. I was very tired and very happy that they could accommodate me. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The bathroom was clean. The store was well stocked. Except for an occasional jet taking off from the nearby airport it was nice and quiet. I slept great!
