Camping near Childress

I was going to tent camp in under a grove of Elms and in fact had a great yoga session under their protection but approaching storms changed my sleeping arrangements to the car. Had a front row seat to lots of lightening and wind but no rain. My host graciously guided me in to the camp via messages and talked me through some road detours.

Amazing place to spend time at! Lana’s land will not disappoint you at all. Beautiful property, weather and sunsets. The coyotes howling in the distance was awesome to hear and fall asleep too. If your close to the Ranch and need a place to stay, this is a great spot!

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset. When we stepped inside the bunkhouse, it was like going back in time minus a few modern conveniences!!! We loved it.!!!!

This was our 3rd time staying here! Secluded and peaceful with endless stargazing. We tried a new campsite and it was just as beautiful. Mama cow greeted us at breakfast. The best spot we've ever stayed with our dogs. Met Lana and she is doing a wonderful thing bringing slow grown, nutrient dense food back to market with love! Seriously, try some product!

Easy access from the highway, quick responses, beautiful site with level ground. I departed well-rested, with great photographs, and stocked up with grass fed beef. A perfect stay. Thank you, Chancie and Lana.

I spent 2 nights camping up on the mesa site and it was great! It's very quiet and peaceful with the very occasional vehicle driving by on the road below. I would definitely come back and camp at Lone Mound Ranch next time I'm in the area.

1 night at Back Forty RV Park

I had such a great time out here! Very private and so calm to sit back and relax. The stars were amazing and so were the coyotes howling. I’d definitely visit again.

Nice stop along our travels. Easy in and easy out. Host responded quickly.

1 night at Back Forty RV Park

Awesome experience! We were in a remote site in a little grove of trees. Amazing stars, wildflowers, coyotes singing at night and birdsong in the morning. If you like the idea of being well off the beaten track with loads of space around you, this is the place for you. Bonus: a cell tower very nearby means excellent service.

Just stayed for a night but it was easy to get to and get parked on a 35ft TT. And the bathrooms were very nice and clean! Would stay again!

Beautiful site, very friendly owners of the ranch. Would absolutely stay again if I’m back out that way!

Awesome stay. This campsite is very private and gets a nice breeze. Lovely shade trees.

Beautiful secluded spot under some tall trees. Heard the coyotes yipping at sunset. Pretty level spot. Table, chairs, and fire pit were all there. It was really windy so I didn’t have a fire. Lots of dirt roads for taking a walk. Great stay!

Super cute little spot! It was truly a good first night in Texas. We arrived late but still made the most out of cooking up some steaks from their store for dinner. We would have loved doing some more exploring but our journey carried us on! We will remember this place for sure!

The little rustic cabin we stayed in was super cute! We arrived late in the night and had no issues finding it in the dark. Huge plus we were able to have a campfire! The sky was filled with stars which made the night even more magical. Woke up to ice outside and saw the beautiful view for the first time. Our dog liked sniffing around the barn and the hay stacks.

3 nights at Remote Lone Mound Ranch

A very quiet place, suggest to access before dark; we stay at Christmas Eve and took some time to get there. The owner is patient and very kind, it’s special experience to us.

It’s a good little spot! I had a good time with my dog Hermes.

Back Forty RV Park

Our inspiration for Back Forty RV Park comes from our Dad, JT Lindsey. J.T. and wife Lucille bought these 40 acres of land in 1972, moved their family into the farm house desperately needing attention, and raised their three children here. JT worked his entire life in agriculture as a farmer and cattle rancher. He was smart, hard working, and very mechanically inclined-he could fix anything! He was a veteran of the Korean War. He loved the Dallas Cowboys, Nascar, and a good cup of coffee, but he loved his family the most. Summer vacation was RVing in Colorado, New Mexico, Tennessee, Alabama, South Dakota and Florida but only after harvest was done and the fields were plowed! Daddy was taken from us way too soon, but his love and affection for his family has remained with us through the years. His image appears in our signs and logos taken from our favorite photo. It’s our hope you feel like you are coming back home at Back Forty RV Park. Back Forty RV Park is a local owned park located in Quanah, Tx. Conveniently on US Hwy 287 between Amarillo and Dallas/Fort Worth. Our rural Texas location has wide open skies, amazing sunsets and beautiful sunrises. We offer a quiet, clean and friendly park for an overnight visit or long term resident who is working in the area. Park sits on 40 acres and includes 40 gravel pads, 12 pull thru and 28 back-ins.
