Where the Texas plains meet dramatic canyon country, South Prong Tent Camping Area sits within Caprock Canyons State Park near Quitaque. This established campground provides both RV hookups and tent sites, with some positioned at higher elevations that proved advantageous during wet weather conditions. The park maintains clean facilities and allows campfires and pets.
Campers report buffalo herd sightings and clear night skies for stargazing. The area offers hiking and equestrian trails, plus swimming access. For a different camping experience, Little Red Tent Camping Area — Caprock Canyons State Park provides an alternative within the same park system.
