North Prong Primitive Campsite Camping Area — Caprock Canyons State Park
Reviewed Aug. 26, 2016

Best Getaway within 4-5 hours of DFW!!

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.
