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.

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.

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.

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.

Come for the wildlife!!! Bison!!!
