Best Glamping near Monahans, TX

Monahans Sandhills State Park Campground includes glamping accommodations set among unique sand dunes in West Texas. The park features glamping options with water and electric hookups, covered picnic shelters, and clean shower facilities with hot water and excellent pressure. Each glamping site includes a picnic table, BBQ grill, and shade structure to provide comfort during hot desert days. The campground's 25 sites are arranged in a single loop, offering both back-in and pull-through options for glampers seeking different levels of privacy. Climate control is essential in this region where temperatures fluctuate dramatically between seasons. "The sites 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," noted one visitor about their glamping experience.

Sand dune exploration defines the glamping experience at Monahans, with unrestricted access to climb and explore the constantly shifting sands. The park rents sand discs for $6 and wax for $1, allowing glampers to sled down the dunes—a rare activity for Texas accommodations. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets create memorable photo opportunities, while dark night skies away from city lights provide excellent stargazing conditions when the moon isn't full. The eco-friendly glamping sites maintain minimal impact on the delicate dune ecosystem while providing comfortable access to this distinctive landscape. According to a camper, "The sandhills were a lot of fun and you can rent sleds to slide down the hills. Get ready to have sand everywhere though!" Glamping sites remain available year-round, with spring and fall offering the most comfortable temperatures for enjoying outdoor activities.

    Monahans Sandhills State Park Campground

    Amazing place, reasonable price, secluded

    This was perfect. Stars and meteors epic. Close to the highway but secluded. Of their 20 or so sites only 3 were taken. Electric and water hook ups, trash, friendly staff, clean bathrooms. Epically quiet - cool at night. $15 camp fee plus $4 per person unless you have a Texas park pass.

    Monahans Sandhills State Park + Sand + Wind

    My friends and I made a short stay at Monahans Sandhills State Park on our way to Guadalupe Mountains National Park. We made a reservation online because we knew that we would be arriving late considering that we were leaving after work at 6pm and out drive would be at least 5 hours. It is possible to pick up supplies or eat in the town of Ozona or Fort Stockton.

    Upon our arrival, it was fairly easy to find our assigned campsite because all of the campsites appear to be located along a loop road.

    Each campsites has water and electric hookups. There are also a sun shade, picnic table and grill. The bathroom was located a short distance from our campsite and contained sinks, toilets and showers. 

    The main attraction of this park is definitely the sandhills. One can explore the sandhills freely, but I think that it might be a good idea to not venture too far from the main campground unless you are familiar with desert navigation or are equipped with a GPS. One can walk up the sandhills, roll down the sandhills or just stand in awe within them. I was surprised to find a variety of flowers thriving amongst the sandhills. How does that happen?

    There are not any marked or designated trails at this park. There are not many facilities or activities to do. The main attraction is the sand, the sandhills and the sunrises. Even though our stay was short, I really enjoyed staying at this park and watching the sunrise in the morning.

    Beautiful setting, ton of fun!!

    The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We played on the snd dunes all day and camped. The campsites were sand with a covered picnic table and grill. The picnic table was moved because storms were coming and we put tents under pavilion. It would have been perfect for stargazing if it had not been cloudy all night. Other campers were quiet and it was a very clean park with clean bath house. Be warned that this is oil country and the trains run constantly, day and night and they are a few miles away. Sand dunes are probably best enjoyed during cooler months and definitely best after rain! We picked the perfect time in April! Flowers blooming everywhere and new growth around walking trails. Dunes were a blast!

    Our first family camping trip

    Monahans 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.

    So cool

    Loved this campsite! It was so cool to see all of the sand dunes. Right off the highway exit but far out where you can’t hear any traffic noise. Drinking water, electric, bath house with hot showers, and picnic tables available. Decent price with amenities. You can rent sand discs and sled down the mountains. Definitely recommended to check out for a night or two!

    Sand Surfing

    This was a great place to stop on our roadtrip out West! We have actually been here twice, it's so convenient and right off I20 near Odessa! The workers are so friendly and we all five loved sand surfing!! There are pull through sites with electric/water hookups, picnic table, fire ring, grill and a shade shelter! There is also a bathhouse with showers and restrooms! So much fun, don't pass it by!

    **UPDATE: We have been here 4 times now! Always great!!!

    Serene desert escape in the middle of Texas Oil Country

    We loved staying here for a night on our drive through West Texas, the perfect midway stopping point. This state park is a nice natural respite from the noise and lights of oil country and towns. 

    Easy pull-through sites and well-maintained bathrooms. Sunsets and sunrises here are stunning. Feels like you're in a foreign desert.

    Monahans Sandhills State Park Campground

    A lot of sand but REALLY neat!

    Monahans was a blessing on our trip down to a different park near El Paso. It is in the Midland/Odessa area and should not be missed!!!! We stopped there in September and there were sunflowers EVERYWHERE! It was the most amazing site considering that there is sand covering most of the park! Be forewarned, sand gets into everything while your camping here so come prepared! And don’t miss out on the Sand Dune sledding!!!! It was such a treat! The hike up is a little hard (and if it’s super hot wear closed toe shoes so you don’t burn your feet!) but the ride down is a blast! High recommendation! And, the bathrooms were clean :)

    Monahans Sandhills State Park Campground

    Decent campground, relatively clean bathrooms.

    Definitely 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.
