Best Campgrounds near Vega, TX

We had a great stay here during our 7 days. A couple of nights there were other campers but typically only for a night or two. While this wildlife refuge has not had any water in close to 50 years it is still beautiful. Easy access to Canyon City, Palo Duro Canyon State Park and of course Amarillo.

We did a full campground review along with details of all the resources available in the area (Laundry, Groceries, Popane, Water etc.)

Flush toilets, clean bathrooms, showers in center of loop. Lots of hiking trails. Dump station was on the way out. Thunderstorm with lightning show while there. Site backed up against river with nice trail. Did not get chance to explore other trails.

Great spot at the bottom of the Canyon, very close to lighthouse trail. Near bathrooms, several trailheads, and has a great view all around.

We chose Sagebrush because we felt it was the nicest with paved roads, lots of vegetation, privacy and close to the trading post! We were in site 120 and had a wonderfully secluded fire ring space at the back of our coach. Short walk/cut through to the trading post and bathrooms. You MUST do the lighthouse trail but beware take lots of water even in February it’s longer than you think. And a little tricky at the end!

This is a Loves RV stop with included WiFi. Spots have a picnic table and cement slab, I think 2 have covers. Small trash can but sufficient. There were only 2 other rigs in the RV section with us. It was pretty noisy with the interstate traffic.

Showers inside Loves to use, discounted to $10 from the usual $18. There is a laundry room with a few washers/dryers for $3 each use

Google maps led me to the wrong place (close!).  It was late, and a quiet area, so I pulled over at a small turn off on the left side of the road, near a small information sign and a small white shack for observing wildlife.  Minimal car traffic and no problems sleeping.  I was roughly near 34.895448,-102.111600

The campground has basic amenities like water, restrooms, and picnic tables at most sites, ensuring a comfortable stay for both RV and tent campers. While the park can get busy, Hackberry often provides a quieter experience compared to some of the other campgrounds in the area. You might encounter native wildlife like idle breakout roadrunners, wild turkeys, and even deer, which adds to the natural charm.

Fortress Cliff is definitely one of the more primitive sites in the park. Porta potties only whereas some have full showers and flush toilets. Sites are spacious and shaded making this still a great site.

The Grand Canyon of Texas. Nice camping sites. Excellent trail system. Breathtaking views. No cell phone service with Spectrum.

Traveling from KY to AZ. 36 foot fifth wheel, tow vehicle and second car. Stopped here for 2 nights. Site 85. 50/30/20A and water. No sewer, but 2 dump stations in park. After backing in (very easy) realized it can be used as a pull through entering in front of site 87. Very roomy site. Covered picnic table and fire ring/grill. Didn't use restrooms or showers, but they were clean. Most of site is red dirt, but parked on asphalt and picnic table is on concrete pad. Close to level. If you've never been here, the Mesquite camp area is like 5 or 6 miles past the park entrance gate. Steep grade into canyon and curvy road. Now for the experience. Although some would complain about some things in this park we were able to overlook any problems (we had none anyway) because it was so beautiful. This is the nicest park we've been to in several years. Great scenery, trails everywhere and wildlife. We saw mule deer, roadrunners, rabbits, turkey, lizards, huge centipede, longhorns and lots of birds. Sat at bird viewing station behind the tradepost for a while and saw many different birds. It was hot during the day and cool at night in September. Would definitely stay again. If ess are listed they will include fees for 3 vehicles.

Nice overnight stop for the price. There were longhorn cows and llamas that came up to the fence in the back of the park. Close to town yet in the country. Full-time residents there but are quiet.

We are traveling through from CO to AR and needed a place to stay for one night. We found Plum Creek and decided to check it out. The middle campground was perfect - we were the only ones there. Very clean vault toilet right by the site, trash cans clean and empty at camp. There were open range cattle nearby but they were just curious and didn't bother us. We loved our stay and will keep this in mind for future trips passing through. Beautiful sunset views too!

Great spot for horse lovers! The facilities are basic but perfect for a fun camping experience with your horses. Just remember to book in advance!

Wonderful huge park with an abundance of wildlife. Horseback riding, hiking, bike trails, glancing and more.

About 5 miles into the canyon past the entrance. I arrived after check-in hours and they had my packet waiting for me at the entrance. It was about 105 when I got in at 5pm in July (to be expected), but cooled down some overnight with a bit of rain. Great access to the Juniper trail with the cave— definitely worth checking out. Saw a baby scorpion in the bathroom sink, but pretty clean bathroom facilities. Biggest downside besides the heat was the relentless biting flies.

Amarillo is a nice halfway point when traveling to Colorado from the DFW area. Over the years, we've stayed at various RV Resorts/Campgrounds there. Oasis is comparably priced to the others, but being on the outskirts of Amarillo, it was much quieter and we felt safer. 

They have a beautiful swimming pool. There is a clubhouse that had a video game and a basketball game for the kids. There were puzzles, books, a kitchen area. It was very nice, quiet, roomy. They did have a hot tub, but at the time we were there, it was not in working order. 

They have a good sized, fenced dog park. There are dog waste bags and receptacles pretty much at the end of every street. The streets in the RV Resort are named so finding our campsite was very easy. The bathrooms were plentiful throughout the Resort. Each contained a private shower. 

We only stopped for a quick overnight to break up our drive home from Colorado. We didn't have to unhook. The sites were pretty level. We stayed in site 41. It worked fine for us, but I probably wouldn't choose that particular site again. It is right next to the restroom/laundry facility(which was very convenient), but our slide was on that side. Had it been busy, we would have heard bathroom traffic all night. But there are so many restrooms, this was not an issue. Also, the placement of the sewer hook up was out of reach. We just pulled up and dumped when we left. 

There was a food truck there when we arrived, which was convenient. We bought our supper from there and it was nice not having to cook, or unhook to go somewhere to eat. That being said, the food from the truck was nothing to write home about. But they were friendly.
