  Honey Flat Camping Area — Caprock Canyons State Park

  First visit

  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.

  Little Red Tent Camping Area — Caprock Canyons State Park

  A Fantastic, Silent Camping Experience

  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.

  Memphis City Park

  Overnight Stay

  This was an overnight stay for our trip from home in East Texas to Utah.
  Hookups are 30 or 50 amp. There is water at each site but it was off for season.
  Pay at the police station. There is a Dropbox with envelopes. $15 a night.
  Location was fine for our 35 foot 5th wheel. We were disappointed by the amount of trash around the area. Also was a homeless person staying in a tent The person let his dog roam and almost got into fights with our German Shepherd.
  If not for the trash and homeless person this could be a good cheap overnight.

  State Park: Where the Buffalo Roam

  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.

  Free

  Free little stop with hook ups. Sites are pull through. Accommodate about 4 medium trailers. Water and electric on site with dump station on edge of park. Near a quiet lower traffic highway.

  I was only one here Saturday. Nobody around. No bathrooms nearby, gas station looks almost abandoned. Very rural area.

  Plain Ole Beautiful...

  I was on a trip from East Texas to Colorado and back in my Overland Ford Maverick and needed one last camping spot to carry me over on the trip back to East Texas and found this little gem of a spot!

  It's not the most accommodating for those who aren't prepared (no bathrooms or showers), but the most beautiful things are usually quite basic. I had terrible weather, so I couldn't really put out the Roofnest, but I slept in the truck as best I could.

  The view when I woke up was dazzling! This spot would be amazing for a family in an RV.

  Management is super nice and they were inviting to someone without an RV, so major kuddoes!

  MERUS Adventure

  Every kind of camping you could ever want...all with amazing views

  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.

  Very scenic, with Buffalo herds.

  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.

  Spectacular views

  Checkin was so easy and super friendly. The campsites are very spacious and well kept. The most magnificent part are the views and there’s a scenic route you can drive… just beautiful! The prairie dogs are super cute and entertaining as well as the magnificence of the wild bison roaming about.

  South Prong Primitive Camping Area — Caprock Canyons State Park

  Wildlife worth it

  First evening came it as it got dark. Pretty easy to navigate the site by moonlight and get set up. However, Bison roam through the area and aside from hoofprints they will leave reminders of their presence. There is plenty of room between campsites/ neighbors and during our stay all visitors were pleasant, and courteous. Our first night encounter was hearing what may have been a mountain lion and purred what seemed to be right next to our tent. During the night it had bedded down in our vicinity and had moved on by morning. 2nd night you could hear the bison moving around the campsites. Easy access to trails for hikes. Beautiful skies and amazing views throughout the canyon.

  Honey Flat Camping Area — Caprock Canyons State Park

  Better than Big Bend and Palo Duro Canyon

  I think that Caprock Canyons State Park is underrated, which is great for the people who visit. We'll definitely be back. 

  The campground is well maintained and easy to navigate. The views aren't as spectacular as they are at campgrounds in Palo Duro Canyon but BISON COME TO VISIT. Of course, to stay safe this often requires an exercise of patience. We were caught behind a heard of 12 or so on a hiking trail and maintaining a safe distance required a very leisurely pace, with lots of time to just take in the landscape. And we had to stand around and wait for another group to graze their way past our trailer on another occasion. But it was easy to keep our distance and they don't stay in one place long, so you just have to give them a few minutes. It was really neat to see these creatures roaming free--I thought it was a lot more exciting than seeing the herds in Yellowstone because there aren't the crowds of tourists.

  Nice town with a nice campground .

  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.

  Wild Horse Equestrian Area — Caprock Canyons State Park

  Nice park

  A little complicated in terms of finding a place for camping if you have rooftops tents.

  The designated tent places they have you have to walk into. Unless you want to be by all the RVs, which we don’t like. They have an overflow camping space, which was perfect for us. The place is very nice and has great views. We got visited by Bison at night and early this morning. Lots of coyotes howling at night and beautiful skies.

  Lake Theo Tent Camping Area — Caprock Canyons State Park

  Fantastic for family camping

  I have stayed in the Lake Theo Tent Camping Area several times - ranging from 110° days in May through perfect 75° days in July. Shaded sites go quickly, so be sure to spend extra time studying the map. The campsites are a short walk from a swimming hole and fishing area. There are often paddleboats and boards lolling around the no-wake lake. The trails are lovely, and if you catch site of the Texas State Bison herd, you'll fall in love with the park. Amazing bat-watching as well!

  Little Red Tent Camping Area — Caprock Canyons State Park

  Well maintained, lots of wildlife

  We just happened to camp during an unusually cool time, and extremely thankful for it. Temps are 10-15 degrees hotter here than at the top of the canyon. Vault toilets are super nice. Bring a light with you. Tent sites were well maintained, but sound carries. We could hear our neighbors clear as day when they arrived at 2:30AM and 4AM. Tons of wildlife came through camp - two bison, a raccoon, and a pack of coyotes.

  Just a short walk to a nice scene up to an overlook where the wind funnels down. If you feel hot and sweaty, just walk 2 minutes through the juniper and cacti to relief.

  MERUS Adventure

  Boondockers heaven - full hookups soon

  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.

  Honey Flat Camping Area — Caprock Canyons State Park

  Fair campground, good park

  We’ve stayed at Honey Flats a couple of times over the past year and it’s worth a stop if you’re in the area and have never been. The Buffalo herd and prairie dog town are big hits with the kids and there’s good hiking trails in the canyon. Cell service is basically non-existent for both Verizon and AT&T. Honey Flats is a basic state park campground with power and water and pretty decent spacing between sites. If you visit in late Spring, the weather in this part of the state can get dicey in a hurry, we experienced several hail storms and wild thunderstorms in the few days we’ve spent at the park in the month of May.
