Best Glamping near Quitaque, TX

This is my favorite place to camp in Texas, second only to BiBe (though I haven’t been to Palo Duro yet). A truly beautiful site. We hiked out at 11pm and the moon was so bright we almost didn’t need headlamps. Lots of bison poop, and lots of coyote howling. The sites were pretty spread out, and the central area had a decent pit toilet. Completely surrounded by red rocks - loved it. Close access to some of the park’s major trails, and an easy hike out to the site.

I stayed here for several days and had an absolute blast with my dog. Met several new friends who were all boon docking since the full hookup campsites were not done yet. I even took my GMC 2500 HD off roading which I had never done before. What an experience even though I couldn’t get off the beginners trails. They have truly fantastic views everywhere you look as it’s the “Grand Canyon of Texas.”  The staff is exceptional in every way. If you’re into off roading bring a true rock climber vehicle. This place is for you but it has walking paths also.

This park is Amazing! Absolutely gorgeous landscape, in the 2nd biggest canyon in the US, behind the Grand Canyon. The park is relatively new and still under development. As of the time of this review, there are only boondocking sites available, but they offer epic views of the canyon. There are miles of hiking, and MTB Trails to enjoy, and even some top notch off road trails down in the canyon, green to black skill level. If your looking for a true overlanding experience, this is one of very few places in Texas where you can get away from the crowds, and into some raw, natural land to set up your camp. This is a private park, so you'll need to be a member, or a guest of a member, to enter. They do have a few days a month open to the public, so check their website for available dates.

Lots of beautiful trails and mountains but BRING LOTS OF WATER

I spent a week here in the summer time. It was hot during the day and chilly at night. Many hiking trails and opportunities for nature sightings. Slept in a tent and woke up to buffalo within feet of my tent. They are simply amazing creatures. Take plenty of water and sunscreen.

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.

We stayed one night on our road but the park is worth to stay longer. You also camp with bisons and prairie dogs.

Don’t miss this area. Really secluded.

Come for the wildlife!!! Bison!!!

Caprock Canyon was a great place to just get away, hike, and enjoy the stars at night.....and oh were they BIG and BRIGHT! The night sky was unbelievable. The campground was well laid out and campsites were well spaced. There is no alcohol allowed so be sure to keep this out of sight (if you choose to break this rule). The park rangers do come around and do a check and will make you dump out anything you have. We witnessed this at a campsite next to us. The kicker for Caprock was the night time musical put on by the coyotes. Starting at one end of the canyon and running around the outer perimeter, the sound soon would encompass the entire canyon. Beautiful sound to witness. We preferred Caprock over Palo Duro by far....more of a getaway, less tourists.

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.

Good water pressure. Good amount of space between sites. ‘bout all I can say good about it. Call for res — do not use online system as you will be charged $5 for booking online. This should have been disclosed before payment. On second thought don’t reserve at all as there are plenty of empty spaces. Hard to get to from SB I-27 exit 51. I should have followed GPS to get off at exit 53. I was towing a car so had to pull through to clear road (almost clear). Since hook-ups are at the rear of the site I had to leave the toad in the road just a little and use two sewer hoses. 25’ water hose barely reached. Site is long enough and gravel covered. However when I pulled-through I had to drive on a field of dirt to leave. Glad it dint rain. I suppose $40 (35 Goodsam) isn’t too bad just don’t expect much.

The lots are nice and long. There are extra parking pads. The pads are gravel. You can use your outdoor mats. The bathhouse and laundry are super clean! I have no complaints!

Amazing time while there for a week. We spent most of our time traveling around the area to Lubbock. The campground is quite and spacious. The staff was great. We decided to leave a few days early and they refunded us the nights we didn’t stay.

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.
