Nice overnight stop
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.

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!

It’s free….. but seen better days
This 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.

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 little free rv campsite
Nice public park with about 9 sites, most have electric and water. Free to stay up to 4 nights! Clean, some traffic but not bad.

Forrest Park
If it’s for free, it’s for me
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!!

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.

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!

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.

Sand and Wind.
Stopped in for a night. Pretty dunes but not my cup of tea but I can appreciate it.
David R.GuideMonahans Sandhills State Park
Convenient but Noisy
Very convenient state park. Very clean and well kept. Sound seems to carry so you can hear all the conversations in the campground.
Brett D.LegendMonahans Sandhills State Park
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.

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.
Meesh M.GuidePalms 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.

Road noise, no privacy, but it's free!
5 sites close together by a main road and the park road. There are picnic tables and trash cans.

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.

Monahans Sandhills State Park
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.
Kloee S.LegendMonahans Sandhills State Park
Small but fun!
This 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),
Cris G.GuideMonahans Sandhills State Park
Great stop!!
We 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.
