Best Campgrounds near Quitaque, TX

Be aware, this is just a highway pull off picnic area. The views are STUNNING but this isn’t exactly a campsite. Luckily, There are no signs that say “no camping”. Paved lot with picnic tables, grills, and trash cans. I don’t feel comfortable staying here for more than a night, as I’m sure during the day it gets a lot of visits from people passing through, but it was a great little spot for one night. Was not bothered by anyone. If you position your car thoughtfully, no one can see you from the road.

Really enjoyed seeing this picturesque place in Texas. It was an absolute joy watching the momma Bison repeatedly corral her playful young as we were leaving.

Will definitely come back here with the family!!

This is a beautiful overlook but a pretty long drive with no cell coverage or amenities. Although it may be a good option for people with an RV setup, as a solo female with just an SUV to sleep in, I felt too exposed to stay here.

Great views, and the bison that was nearby didn't bother us in the slightest, wish there was a water spicket.

Did encounter thunderstorms, hail, and tornado, we needed the satellite radio.

It took some real work to find the campground. Look for the old sign and follow it. There are at least 30 sites it's Water and Electric and at this point there are a long ways from the water but they're nice flat concrete table water it's cute good place to stop for a night.

Planned on spending only one night here but due to weather ended up staying for two nights. The campground is in a little town that basically has nothing. The campground owners Leisha and David are super nice and live there. The campground is in great shape. Sites are level and full hook ups with pull through sites were $30. They also had laundry, Wi-Fi, showers and also cabins for rent. Wednesday through Sunday. They also had a food truck that was open from I believe 5 til 8 where they served a bunch of different types of food.

Clean, quiet, cozy. Stayed 5 nights. You can hear owls and coyotes at night. A great hiking/mountain biking park. Buffaloes are easy to find in the park. There is a prairie dog town close to the camping area. I have knee trouble, and my wife uses a power chair. We still loved our stay.

Loved it here! But the listing on here is misleading; it is actually a picnic/rest overlook area that allows car/RV camping but I’m sure no tents. There are no bathrooms or water but very nice picnic tables, trash cans, a grill, and shaded paved areas. Lots of grass and trees, dogs allowed, and a parking lot. We had one neighbor when we stayed one night and the view can’t be beat. Would definitely come back- a few people come and go and it seems to be a hidden gem.

Every time I go camping I play four colors because I can't miss the appeal of this game.

What a great find. Small lot, but stunning views of the canyon below and enough room for the low traffic it seems like this sees. Some Verizon signal but only by the fence line.

This place is wonderful. I came here some years ago with my father, and had to venture out and see it again. Nothing has changed, and that's a great thing. The park was virtually empty in early February, I saw a grand total of five people over my three days here. There were many bison, prarie dogs, and stars. There are loops with full hookups, but most of the primitive tent sites are walk-in, though not far from the parking areas, and all with fantastic views of the canyons & Caprock Escarpment. This park is a hikers dream! Many trails to fuel your desires. 

The racoons will get your trash/food if they are able to get to it, even if you are in your campsite. They do not care.

We arrived right before sunset and there was only one other camper there. The views were so pretty and it was flat for car camping. There were a few cars that came in the middle of the night and then left, but we were there on the weekend with meteor showers so I assumed it was people stargazing. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because there’s no bathroom, but it was a great spot!

We were able to find an opening for 1 night at the honey flat campground, and enjoyed the solitude, scenery and wild life. Had 30 Amp hookup with water. Dumpstation and bath facilities. The sites were good size with fire rings and shaded picnic tables. Need to be aware of texas wild life. Many hiking trails and staff at the information center were nice and helpful. Need to plan trip far in advance as sites fill up quick if you plan on staying for awhile.

This place has the most amazing views! I was the only one there for the one night. The weather was great, but then the wind picked up big time at night. Maybe it was just that day, though. I had a rooftop tent that was just blowing around and was really loud which made it hard to get any sleep. If you have a small travel trailer, that would be better.

We've probably spent a few weeks camping at Merus over the last couple years.  The improvements during that time have been amazing...and are still coming!  We love the views from the boondocking sites on the rim as well as the peace of the more remote campsites down in the canyon.  The team that runs Merus bends over backwards to make each stay special.

I stayed last night and had no problems except for one of the #vanlife dudes emptied his chemical toilet into the parking lot and it ran down the parking lot to where I was setting up my stuff. I plead with him to stop dumping because he was dumping for like 10 minutes. People like him are going to get these places removed.

The sleep was great. I slept most of the night in my hammock connected to the back of my truck. Bring some bug spray the mosquitoes are pretty bad.

Had wonderful stars and a beautiful sunrise.

Recommend reservations if you want a electric hookup! Sites are are spaced so you can hardly see neighbors. Buffalo walk right thru the camping sites.
