    Great service and friendly people and clean.

    First stop on this tour from Dallas TX to New Mexico and back

    I had choosen this place out of location ,it has a walmart in walking distance.

    We got delayed from start of pickup our RV and got here a lot later then we had intended, so I wrote the owner a message and she answered rapid how to find it and where to find our paperwork. 

    We found the spot and got settled and went into bathrooms that was the most clean bathroom I have ever seen in a campground.

    Slept a good night sleep and had some things we needed to fix on the RV rental and here the owner is very happy and good to help out and had the parts we needed.

    And then we was off again

    Quartz Mountain State Park Campground

    Back in business! Great State Park!

    This park was turned back over to the state in 2020 and is exactly how I remembered it from the 80’s. Tucked down in southwest Oklahoma in the Wichita Mountains, it’s a small park but has LOTS of options. There are RV and tent Campgrounds, cabins, a very modern lodge with 96 rooms, group pavilions, and a dormitory. There’s a full restaurant, ORV trails, hiking trails, a river and a lake. Something for everyone.

    We stayed in the Mountain View campground which has concrete pads and didn’t have to level our rig at all. Electric and water and steps to the flush bathroom that has a shower in it. It backs up to the lake berm and has a view of one of the mountains. Not much cover but we didn’t need it as it was cloudy during our stay. LOTS of stickers. Beware especially if you have long haired dogs.


Guide to Quanah

Campgrounds near Quanah, Texas range from primitive sites to developed facilities across rolling plains characterized by seasonal extremes. The region typically sees less than 25 inches of rainfall annually, creating a semi-arid landscape with limited natural shade. Summer nighttime temperatures often remain above 70°F, while winter camping requires preparation for sudden northerly cold fronts that can drop temperatures rapidly.

What to do

Stargazing sessions: Copper Breaks State Park offers exceptional dark sky viewing opportunities with minimal light pollution. "The only reason I give this park a 3 is because we did not stay long enough to explore the trails. We went for it's epic dark skies! Took our big Orion telescope and had great clear views of the milky way, even got to see Venus as a crescent!" shared a visitor at Copper Breaks State Park Campground.

Hiking trails: Several miles of trails through Copper Breaks provide access to canyon views and diverse terrain. "We camped a single night and unfortunately caught a gnarly winter thunderstorm over night. The camp site was nice tho. Fire ring, grills, covered table, and enough space between sites. Both lakes looked really good, altho the wind and cold temps kept me from fishing this time. A quick drive around the park just filled the to-do list for our next visit!" explained another camper.

Local history exploration: Ole Town Cotton Gin RV Park features an authentic historic cotton gin on the property. "A nice place for a one night stop off. Nothing fancy. Owners are super nice. They offer military discount. They have a chicken coop and sell fresh eggs for $3/dozen. They have a small swimming pool. The old cotton gin on site is a cool feature. It was full of dusty furnishings. Looks like they used it as a venue in the past," noted one visitor.

What campers like

Well-spaced sites: Copper Breaks offers more private camping spaces compared to in-town options. "If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place. It is a National Dark Sky site and perfect for star gazing. The sites are almost 70 feet apart. Well maintained. Daily activities run by staff. Great hiking and a nice lake," wrote one satisfied camper.

Swimming options: Several campgrounds provide cooling options during hot Texas summers. "A nice place for a one night stop off. Nothing fancy. Owners are super nice. They offer military discount. They have a chicken coop and sell fresh eggs for $3/dozen. They have a small swimming pool," noted a visitor at Ole Town Cotton Gin RV Park.

Access to necessities: Some campgrounds offer convenient access to supplies. "This RV park is right off the main thoroughfare, next to the local Walmart. There is even a path to the Walmart parking lot at the edge of the park," observed a camper at Rocking A RV Park.

What you should know

Hard ground conditions: Rocky soil makes tent stakes difficult to drive. "Bring a mallet and as thick of a mattress or pad as you can find - the campsites are rocky and the ground is very hard," advised a Copper Breaks camper.

Train noise: Railroad activity affects some campgrounds. "The train goes by and whistles several times during the night, like a country lullaby," mentioned a visitor at Ole Town Cotton Gin RV Park.

Limited connectivity: Cell service varies significantly by location. "I spend a couple days here, camping in a primitive / hike-in site, and hiking during the day. It's a very cool park and a must-visit for anyone in the DFW area since it's an easy weekend trip. The primitive sites could be farther apart - they were close enough that I frequently unintentionally distracted the neighbors dog," shared a visitor at Copper Breaks State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several campgrounds offer child-friendly recreation areas. "We stayed one night here and would highly recommend it. Very clean and quite. The kids loved the playground," commented a visitor at Rocking A RV Park.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Families can observe native Texas wildlife at several locations. "Stopped here for one night. Kids immediately fell in love with the small pool and playground. Friendly staff, escorted us to our site and made sure to answer all our questions," noted a visitor about Back Forty RV Park.

Budget-friendly options: Childress Fair Park offers affordable camping with nearby recreation. "Five spots and four were occupied the day we stopped. Excellent areas to walk, paved sidewalks and a pond. Playground and pool in the summer. Sand burs in the grass," shared a camper at Childress Fair Park.

Tips from RVers

Level sites: Many campgrounds provide relatively flat parking areas. "What a great park. Only 5 sites, and is 1st come. 30/50amp & water. The drop box is next to campsite. Beautiful walking path around the lake and various areas of the park," noted a Childress Fair Park visitor.

Propane availability: Some parks offer on-site propane service. "Park itself is basic with few trees. Mostly grass and gravel at the site. Pool, horseshoes, playground and dog area, as well as a well stocked inventory of RV supplies. They had propane and even came to our site to pick up," mentioned a Rocking A RV Park camper.

Easy overnight options: Several parks cater to travelers passing through. "This is an excellent overnight type campground in Quanah, TX! It has pull-through gravel sites with full hookups and great internet service for an excellent price! ($30 per night).
