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.

Only camper here tonight. Lots of electric sites. Water at wash house.

Small area in local park. Not for big rigs. Comanche has a pond,disc golf, playgrounds and trails that are nice. Lot of trash around tho. 3 days max.
Scoutit was $10 and I showed up at 8 PM and there was plenty of spots available even without a reservation.

Lamesa…WOW! What a great thing they have going on with Forrest Park and their FREE rv parking/hookups. We were passing through and decided to stop here for the night. We couldn’t have made a better decision. There are no bells and whistles with this place but if you’re looking for a place to park comfortably for the night, this is it. There is a park with a playground and swings right across the road which was a huge bonus for us as we were traveling with kids. They do accept donations and reservations are not necessary. 4 days free, $20 each night after that. We only stayed one night. There is some traffic that passes on the road between the RV spots and the park but nothing that was bothersome throughout the night. We did not visit the restroom facility so I don’t have anything to review on that. For just a simple place to sleep, I highly recommend this stop!! And free?? Count me in!!
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.
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.
Guide
No frills. Clean bathrooms and laundry. 60 channel cable. Did not try wifi. AT&T very good. Verizon mediocre. Loves and another convenience store within walking distance. Big dog run. Vending machine for ice on-site. Looks like beer and wine sales coming as well as a work out room. Owners appear to be making upgrades
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.
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!).
Traveler5 sites close together by a main road and the park road. There are picnic tables and trash cans.
Guide
$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.
