Awesome location for touring anything in Las Vegas. Two pools, dog walking areas and a large dog park. Great cell service and the staff was awesome.

I had read about the airport and road noise, but was unprepared for the 140+ dB train horns that started around 11 pm and (honestly) every 15-30 minutes thereafter until 4 am ish. There is a crossing right across the access road that was very busy on the night we stayed. Worst night of a 9 night trip. I know it is beyond their control, but they should give away ear plugs like the casinos on Freemont St in Vegas. Also, the bath house was un airconditioned and the vent fan can't move air because the main door is weatherproof. The only toilet was clogged when I went to use it, but there was already a plunger there so I could clear it before using it. I would not stay here again.

Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Amarillo Texas boosts where the Comanche Indians lived Where Coronado traveled and where John Goodnight brought in Cattle ...full of history and great views, Including Observation Point Los Cedros Ranch and ofcourse the famous play "TEXAS"..a must see for history buffs. Plenty of campsites and you can call ahead for reservations Check out their web site..you won't be sorry!
GuideWe love camping at Palo Duro Canyon State Park. This is the second largest canyon in the U.S. It’s 120 miles long and 600 to 800 feet deep. It’s so beautiful that you swear you are on a Disney Wild West set and this is make believe. It’s awesome cause you can camp at the bottom of the canyons near all these great red cliffs. There are some epic mountain bike trails here thru Juniper and Mesquite trees. If you’re looking for other entertainment besides just camping or bike riding there was also a Texas Hoe-Down BBQ, a Texas musical and an interpretive night hike along the canyon floor with flashlights. Flush toilets and showers are available.
RangerWe 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).
LegendFor most people, it is a long drive to this park. The Palo Euro Canyon State Park is located in the Texas Panhandle. From Central Texas it is a 8-9 hour drive. The long drive is worth it. When you arrive at the park you feel like you’ve arrived to someplace special. The park is a typical Texas State Park with a number of reservable developed campsites with a table, water, electricity and restrooms nearby. There are also some basic sites without water and electricity. And of course there is primitive camping. Since we had a long drive we stayed one of the developed campsites for the first night. For the remaining days we hiked into the canyon and camped primitive. While there is a small creek that runs through the canyon, we did not use the water. There is cattle grazing throughout the park and it is rumored that the creek is both a water hole for the cattle and a toilet. We were planning an in and out hike, so we carried a couple extra gallons of water in, stashed them near a tree, then relocated and used them on the way out. The park has some really cool rock formations, cliffs and orange soil. This weather can by dry and hot in the summer, so early spring and late fall are probably the preferable time to visit.
ScoutLike most KOAs, very nice and helpful people. This location is very convenient off of I-40. The park is nice, but pretty basic in the sparse grass lands of the Texas panhandle.
Near the beautiful Palo Duro Canyon (supposedly the 2nd largest canyon in the USA). Would stay here again.
GuideRead 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.
ScoutWhat 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.
GuideWe went in the winter so can’t comment on the pools or anything like that. But it was fine for a quick overnight stop. We got a AAA discount which was nice. Checked in late which was no problem at all and the staff was accommodating. It did smell a bit like cows so I guess there’s probably a feed lot somewhere nearby.
The site was HUGE and flat and paved in concrete. A reasonably clean bathroom and laundry room was adjacent in one of the several restrooms scattered around. Men’s room closest was closed. There’s a small gift shop up front with Texas themed items and a few rv supplies. It’s also only a very short ride to the Cadillac Ranch.
It’s one of those parks where all the campers are close to each other and lined up in long rows and of course Amarillo is flat flat flat with few trees so it isn’t very picturesque. I think they have well over 100 sites. I spotted many full time residents.
Would I stay here again? Possibly. It isn’t a destination all by itself but it was very convenient.
RangerI first visited Palo Duro State Park in January of 1980. My wife, dog and I were driving from Virginia to California and planned on spending the night in Amarillo ,TX. We happened upon Palo Duro SP and drove through the park. It was fantastic and I've always wanted to go back and spend some time there. Well, it finally happened in October 2021. I spent 4 nights in the park and had beautiful weather, opportunities for many photos and reconnected with nature. The campsites are very nice- spaced out, large and mine as did most have many trees for shade. I was in the Hackberry loop. The park employees were very helpful and friendly. The bathroom facilities were extremely clean and have been updated. Plenty of trails for hiking and bike riding and the photo ops were fantastic. So far, my favorite Texas State Park.
GuideWe stayed here for 2 nights in early May 2019. We stayed in the Hackberry campground. The park was completely full, and we grabbed the last spot 30 ft spot available. This park is beautiful, and I can see where it gets it name “ The Grand Canyon of Texas”. They had some rain recently when we there so everything was green and beautiful against the canyon walls. We didn’t have much time since we were only able to stay two nights, but I feel we were able to explore enough in those two days. I would recommend doing to the hike to Lighthouse Rock. 2.7 miles one-way and then when you get there, it’s about another .4 hike up to the area where you can see it. I would also recommend you go to the Big Cave. Very short walk for that and neat. The park has a 10% grade and all campgrounds are at the bottom of the canyon. We had no trouble in our 30 ft travel trailer with our Ram 2500. The visitor center had a disappointing selection of souvenirs but go there for the view. We stayed on site #2 in Hackberry which was 30 ft long. We had no trouble getting in and had enough room to park the truck in front of the trailer (at an angle). Site was level as well. We had no cell service at all without a booster. With a booster, we had no Verizon, but enough AT&T to use internet. We were even able to stream Game of Thrones one evening. The park was quiet at night. I would have liked to have stayed maybe one more night to explore more, but two days worked for us. Nothing around the park as far as services, so bring what you need. There is a store at the park that has a few essentials at a high cost. Overall, I was a great stay and we would stay again. $24 price reflects camping only. There is also a $8/person day use fee if you do not have a Texas State Park pass.
GuideStayed 10/2/2020 Pros: Excellent place, great reception for TV and phone. All aspect of upkeep maintained.
Cons: None noted
ScoutWe stayed her at the beginning of a trip, and I’m worried it may have spoiled us for every campground we’ll stay in. By far one of the nicest spots we’ve visited! We got here late, but they had left a map showing exactly how to get to our site. Each spot is paved, so no leveling needed. They have bath/laundry buildings spread throughout the site, which was incredibly convenient. Everything was spotless! They also had a pool, fitness center, etc. that we didn’t use. Not a lot of shade if that’s important to you, but really am A+ spot.
GuideWe camped here overnight while traveling to the Grand Canyon. Would definitely come back. Sights where nice and it was very close to local attractions!!
TravelerLarge, clean, safe and quiet campground. Our cyclone 4270 and truck total length is just over 60’ making it a challenge in every KOA we have ever been to. I added a note in our online reservation and unlike the KOA’s we visited Oasis RV Resort checked our rig size and hook up locations and suggested a new site at the gate.
I opted to up grade to one of their big rig sites and could not be happier with the stay. Amarillo is wide open and flat so don’t expect shade trees (if your from the north east like us) but since we stopped in November, scorching days were not an issue.
When traveling route 40 Oasis RV Resort location will factor into our planning for overnight stops.
ScoutQuick and easy access in and out. There’s a brand new loves opening in a couple days within walking distance. Small fenced pet run with larger pet area next to it for leashed dogs. In terms of a one night stay, 5/5 for the price. Longer term stays a little lacking in the individual spot ammendities like grass and trees.
GuideOur Second Stay here. Passing thru both times. Sites are large FHU, pull-through. Propane, a small food service, nearby Diesel and convenience stores - right along Route 66.
Very clean, very accommodating facility. Good dog area. Super clean.
ScoutArrived in the middle of the night. They had a list of available sites posted. Even in the dark, it was easy to navigate through the park and find a spot to post up for the night.
GuideThis park was very nice. The staff was so sweet. We just didn't have fun there because of the massive hail storm that damaged our truck and trailer.
ScoutThis campsite is quite new and it is amazingly clean. There are full hookups with plenty of room for larger rigs, and the whole park is very flat. Ideal for a comfortable place to park your rig. I gave 4 stars because it really is a parking lot - no scenery to speak of, and almost no greenery. But the restrooms are very clean and nice, and there is a pool and laundry. It is also convenient to the highway.
TravelerEach site had full hookups and was well maintained. This campground had a ton of amenities for the kids too.
ScoutNice clean rv park. Fenced dog run and open grass area for dogs. Clean and private bathroom stalls with sink shower and toilet together. Arrived after hours and they had available sites posted on office door.
TravelerThis place has many leveled sites and plenty of amenities. Our family enjoyed the stay here. Our pull through site was paved with a picnic table. There is an area for dogs and a park for kids, both things we enjoyed. We all liked that it was minutes from Cadillac Ranch, which was also fun! Would highly recommend a stay here.
TravelerThis is a very well designed park that has great access from the Expressway. Nice paved, level spaces and beautiful amenities. A bit of cattle perfume wafted through the air, but not really offensive. Very close to Cadillac Ranch.
ScoutVery clean. Perfect for big rigs. Lots of class A's here with tows. Wide spots. Excellent cell and wifi service. There is noise from the road. You can see it from the campground. However, it's not too bad. Easy pull through spots.. They have a nice dog run and huge grassy area for dogs. Very pet friendly. However, all the dog grass is on the west side of the park. So if you are on the east side, it can be a bit of a treck taking Fido to go potty at 11:00 at night. There is no grass at the campsite. However, I will take a bit of a track to nice grass over a short walk to a weeded bushy area any day.
ScoutWe travel for work and usually stay for months at a time. We stayed here while my husband worked near by in a wind farm. The place was always well kept. They pretty much have everything you need. Pool, two hot tubs (one for family and other for adults) they are kept separate so it does accommodate families as well as single travelers. They have washer/dryer rooms && only $1 wash/dry also multiple bath houses. WiFi, cable, dog fenced area, kids playground, and game room. They also sell food and other items in the office. During working hours there was always multiple people in the office. Whenever we had an issue they were always on top of it. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Price isn’t bad either for monthly. We pay more now & all we have is a rv spot no amenities.
