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.
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.
We always stop in Amarillo when we travel from the DFW area to visit our son in Colorado. We've tried just about all of the Campgrounds/RV Resorts in Amarillo. Since Amarillo is basically just a resting place and there's not really any other perks, we just want a safe, quiet place to park over night. I couldn't find much as far as reviews online(it's relatively new), so we were a little leery about booking an overnight stay.
However, I'm glad we did and I would 100% stay again. Booking was easy. Check-in was easy. It was super convenient to not have to unhook, and to walk over to Love's to grab a quick pizza for supper. There was a nice little dog park. There was a corn hole game and a covered picnic table. The RV area is separate from the fueling area and truck area. We never heard any highway noise or parking lot noise over night in our RV(A/C was running...it would probably not be as quiet if you were to have your windows open).
Our site was pull through. It had water and electric. It was very level and easy to get into and out of. I do wish that their price was a little lower. On our return trip, we stayed down the road at Oasis, and only paid a few dollars more, but had access to a swimming pool, game room, laundry room, etc. But it's a good option, and I would stay again.
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.
Positives: Beautiful site and large! We were on the outer loop and had awesome views of the canyon walls Wildlife at camp - saw roadrunner and heard coyotes at night (eerie but also magical)! Staff were amazing! We came in after the entrance station closed and they had a packet with our name on it waiting for us with maps and more in it!
Downfalls: Only port-a potties If you were on the inner part of the loop you might not have as great of a view looking at other sites instead… Lots of bugs
Overall this would’ve been the PERFECT camp site minus the few downfalls. We would 1000% come back again!
I grew up in Dallas and am sad to say that I didn't know about Palo Duro. The canyon sneaks up on you, literally. There's no foreshadowing until you turn onto the canyon road and then it appears if out of nowhere...majestic, serene, simply breathtaking.
Facilities are excellent and fellow campers, polite. The park has an excellent gift shop with quality silver and native art. I can't wait for my next visit.
What an incredible entrance! We unhooked our toad before heading into the canyon, and I'm glad we did. The drive was stunning, especially for us Floridians not used to such drops. Our site was beautifully wooded, though cell service was minimal down in the canyon love tester online. Definitely a must-visit if you're in the Texas panhandle.
Read some reviews where they stated they didn't unhook their toad upon heading to the canyon. Well I'm glad we did, being from Florida we don't have drops like this. What a drive. Loved our site, very wooded. Not much if any cell service as you are down in a canyon. This is a must stay if you're in the panhandle of Texas.
Sites 1-9 are pretty close to the main park road that quieted down once it got dark.

Overall Rating: 3.5 this is a nice secluded area campsites do not seem that well defined to me. I don’t believe there are any restrooms here.

Wonderful sites and very nice park employees. I wish I would have brought my mountain bike, the trails are sick! Good hookups, spacious sites and clean areas.
Wow, Palo Duro Canyon sounds like a dream outdoor getaway! Can't wait to explore the trails and catch a TEXAS Outdoor Musical. Any hidden gems you recommend checking out? unscramble words
The park is also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, javelinas, and coyotes. You might even spot a bald eagle or a golden-cheeked warbler if you're lucky retro bowl
Only a port-a-potty which was tough. But didn’t feel too crowded even though you are inside the park
This campground was very clean and the sites were large. Bathhouses were placed conveniently throughout the campground. Bathrooms were spotless.
My review will follow suit with many of the other reviews .  The way this campground is set up with an inner and outer ring, will leaves you feeling very congested and crowded.  if you are on the inner ring of the campsite, you will not have an unfettered view to the surrounding scenery. 
That being said the location is ideal for many of the hiking trails and if You don’t mind being surrounded by other people, than I do t have a single complaint. There is water access and porter potties for bathroom use (which are very clean for what they are)
Be careful of the time of year you may go, the flies can also be horrible if you go in the summer months.
We reserved for Labor Day 2023. We cannot get ahold of anyone for anything. Won't answer phone calls or emails. Google reviews shows several others having similar issues. DO NOT BOOK. Website still allows reservations but park is not up and running.
Love this state park, driving into the canyon is very cool. Campground located at the bottom - zero service w/ t-mobile. Bugs were BAD in July. Electric on site and water.
We camped here overnight while traveling to the Grand Canyon. Would definitely come back. Sights where nice and it was very close to local attractions!!
I have mixed feelings about Fortress Cliff campground. It's in a scenic location. We camped there in a campervan. Tent & car campers there as well. The layout of the campground was a little confusing & strange. Sites were really close to the campground loop road. No privacy between sites. The shelter was good. Water quality was good. Three porto-potties; these were pretty clean & had tp. Trash dumpster also on site. No campground host; didn't see a patrol. One site had loud occupants through the night. Check-in was easy. Really good hiking trails. If I planned to come back, I will try to pay the extra money & get a site in the park's Mesquite Campground down the road; very nice campground. The campground had hot showers & a clean restroom.
This park was on the west side of Amarillo, very near The Cadillac Ranch. This park is as close to 5 stars as I’ve camped in so far. Nice big pull thru spaces with all the full hook ups. Several laundry rooms dot the park. It looked like they had a swimming pool, but it was not open. The office had a few supplies. Ice and ice cream were my favorites. We only stayed one night, but I would definitely stay there again next time we come this way.
i loved my 3 nights stay but would RECOMMEND YALL to stay for about a week if yall wanna to have the full experience of palo duro canyon’ nature such as hiking/running (many many trails are surrounded by red ass canyons😍), camping, horseback riding, ZIPLINE, and moreee.
We live in Dallas and getting out of Texas is always the longest part of our trips. This campground is a great stop on the first (or last leg) of trips. Super clean, easy to use laundry, and right off of the interstate. The gym and pool look nice (but we haven't used them).
