SH 207 Palo Duro Canyon Overlook

We were surprised by this spot to say the least. Pretty underground place. Just gets really windy at night and a few visitors come and go.

Apple Maps doesn’t get you here- only to a dump on a dirt road near Claude. The Dyrt gave good directions with Google maps. Peaceful, clean, safe. The wind consistently gusts. Sunshine with enjoyable temps.

I ended up not being able to stay the night the day I went there were far too many flies. It is absolutely gorgeous though.

There are few dispersed spots in Texas and even fewer with a view. We spent a quiet night listening to coyotes in the distance with a beautiful sunset coloring the canyons and scattered clouds. Gorgeous spot to rest after a long day of driving.

Small lookout over Palo Duro Canyon. Easy, fairly level, packed gravel that could fit half a dozen tightly fit moderately sized rigs. Worth the sunset and an overnight stay. Did drop down to 27°F overnight

A roadside park with two shelters. I didn't spend the night, but I didn't see any reason why someone couldn't stay. I wouldn't feel comfortable in a tent, but in an RV, I would be fine.

As others have mentioned, not a campground at all. Its a roadside picnic area. 2 covered picnic tables, one grill. Trash cans available but nothing else. Its super quiet and got a great night's sleep with spectacular views in the morning.

Be aware, this is just a highway pull off picnic area. The views are STUNNING but this isn’t exactly a campsite. Luckily, There are no signs that say “no camping”. Paved lot with picnic tables, grills, and trash cans. I don’t feel comfortable staying here for more than a night, as I’m sure during the day it gets a lot of visits from people passing through, but it was a great little spot for one night. Was not bothered by anyone. If you position your car thoughtfully, no one can see you from the road.

This is a beautiful overlook but a pretty long drive with no cell coverage or amenities. Although it may be a good option for people with an RV setup, as a solo female with just an SUV to sleep in, I felt too exposed to stay here.

Loved it here! But the listing on here is misleading; it is actually a picnic/rest overlook area that allows car/RV camping but I’m sure no tents. There are no bathrooms or water but very nice picnic tables, trash cans, a grill, and shaded paved areas. Lots of grass and trees, dogs allowed, and a parking lot. We had one neighbor when we stayed one night and the view can’t be beat. Would definitely come back- a few people come and go and it seems to be a hidden gem.

What a great find. Small lot, but stunning views of the canyon below and enough room for the low traffic it seems like this sees. Some Verizon signal but only by the fence line.

We arrived right before sunset and there was only one other camper there. The views were so pretty and it was flat for car camping. There were a few cars that came in the middle of the night and then left, but we were there on the weekend with meteor showers so I assumed it was people stargazing. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because there’s no bathroom, but it was a great spot!

This place has the most amazing views! I was the only one there for the one night. The weather was great, but then the wind picked up big time at night. Maybe it was just that day, though. I had a rooftop tent that was just blowing around and was really loud which made it hard to get any sleep. If you have a small travel trailer, that would be better.

I stayed last night and had no problems except for one of the #vanlife dudes emptied his chemical toilet into the parking lot and it ran down the parking lot to where I was setting up my stuff. I plead with him to stop dumping because he was dumping for like 10 minutes. People like him are going to get these places removed.

The sleep was great. I slept most of the night in my hammock connected to the back of my truck. Bring some bug spray the mosquitoes are pretty bad.

Had wonderful stars and a beautiful sunrise.

I got here around 9 pm expecting the place to be full but I was the only one there. No bathroom, two picnic tables. Beautiful sunset coming in from I-40, woke up to a gorgeous sunrise over the canyon. It was very windy, which kept me up. Could hear a couple of cars passing by the road below, only one car came in when I was there around 2:30 am and they left shortly after.

It’s a fenced area that has a great view and picnic tables. There’s also trash cans. You can probably pitch a tent in the small grass area, otherwise you have to camp in the parking lot in your vehicle.

Stayed at this picnic area without expecting too much, but it was beautiful! It is not a pull off in the side of the road- there was a small hill that led to the area that looked out over the canyon. Amazing views!

There is no bathroom at this location. I had plenty of cell service. I stayed one night, and was the only one there. There are two picnic tables at this location.
