Guide
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!
Traveler
Good overnight stop for weary travelers. FREE! No hassle with permit, just parked and plugged in. #10 spot electric worked just fine. Had a picnic table, BBQ pit & trash can. Park was clean & quiet with the exception of vehicles driving thru park with loud bass music but that would not stop us from coming here again.
ScoutGood time management and quick reactions are essential to overcome the challenges in https://houseofhazards.com.
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!
GuideThis is our 4th time here I believe over a 10 year time frame. This is 2024. The electrical has slowly deteriorated. Site 10 this time had serviceable electrical hook up but…. More later. Site 4 showed on my meter to be good but upon hookup had a faulty circuit so going without the ac this warm late May evening. Site 9&10 seemed ok. Got set up and then took stock of where we are and noted the dead elm tree overhanging the site. One of those limbs falling on you would ruin your day. Didn’t check the water or make use of the dump.
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.
ScoutNice public park with about 9 sites, most have electric and water. Free to stay up to 4 nights! Clean, some traffic but not bad.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
LegendGeneral: Small (25-site) campground in one loop. Temporary park headquarters as the huge visitor center at the entrance was under construction when we were there.
Site Quality: Sites have paved driveways, covered picnic shelters, bbq, electric hookup, and water a spigot. Some sites are back-in and some pull-through. We watched some larger rigs try and fit into the back-in sites, which are smaller than the pull-throughs. Our site (25) seemed to have two picnic tables and two BBQs (there were some on the other side for the site next to us so not sure why there were two in our site unless two campers would come together?)
Bathhouse: There is one all-in-one and one regular restroom with two additional showers (and a connecting door between them. Hot water and soap dispensers but no paper towels. The showers were incredible – hot water, great water pressure, and clean. One of the best campground showers I have ever had!
Activities: Explore the dunes! There are no designated paths; you are free to climb the dunes and explore. Saucers are available to rent for $6 and wax for $1. The sunsets are beautiful. The constantly shifting sand makes beautiful patterns and great photographs. If the moon is not full, night sky photography.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here exploring the dunes (and the incredible shower!).
RangerThis 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!
Ranger
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.
LegendThis park was very interesting. The sand dunes are massive, the sunsets were gorgeous, and the sites decent sized. It was well managed, clean and very sandy (expected, since its in the sand dunes),
GuideWe stopped here for the night in our way west and really enjoyed the sites. The Sandhills are right outside your site. The sunset was gorgeous. I only wish the weather was warmer and less windy. Site 9 was nice - pull through. The sites were fairly close but not too bad. Water and electric were fine.
GuideNice stop over. Gravel, level, all services work as expected. Staff was very friendly, bathrooms, showers& laundry are VERY clean and updated. Tokens& quarters are available at the office. Site#66, Long Pull through, easy in/out. Surprisingly strong internet. HEB, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, lots of resupply options in the area. We would stay here again.
Only negative, which is no fault of the campground, is there is a LOT of construction in the area making entry a challenge with some scary U Turns in the city because our Garmin doesn’t register it.
So for any traveling in the immediate future here’s some notes. Exit 134 is closed(2/11/22), take exit 135. Do NOT try any route that takes you on the entrance through town, that end of Midland Road is closed. Stay on the frontage road, go through the 4 way stop(the frontage road curves up& back), then continue on the frontage road(has some construction but is passable) to Midland road, take a right, the park will be on the left. The office is the 1st entrance and pretty clearly marked.
If you’re traveling in the next month or so, call ahead and they can give you the latest ‘best’ route... wish we had, newbie mistake.
GuideDefinitely different camping amongst the sand dunes. Sand gets everywhere! Back-in spots 20-24 are the most level and some of the longer sites. Most site pads are in need of repair. Pull thru sites are tight and close to campground road. Water, electric, and trash are easily accessible. Most spots have shaded picnic tables.
GuideThe dunes are very cool! Sites have water and electric only. Many are pull throughs. Bathroo. Is very nice. $15 plus $4 per person.
ScoutMonahans was so much fun. The dunes were tons of fun to climb up and play on and slide down. I would recommend purchasing your own sand sled because there is no guarantee the office will have them when you're ready to play.
