The sites overlook the beautiful Canadian River breaks to the north with wide open skies to the west and east to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. These are rustic sites with no improvements. We are just getting started with this so you’ll be able to help us from the ground up. If we are not in a burn ban you’re welcome to have a campfire. There will be opportunities to call up a wild coyote or watch some mule deer or an occasional antelope stroll by. You could even be awakened by the horses on their way to water in the morning and we can set up some horse riding if we have enough notice to schedule time off from the 9-5 haha. Can’t wait to see you on the prairie!

Experience the unparalleled beauty of our campground, uniquely situated on the rim of the breathtaking Palo Duro Canyon. Just steps away from the entrance to Palo Duro Canyon State Park, our location offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature.
Our campground features level sites with convenient pull-through access, ensuring a hassle-free stay. Each site is equipped with full hook-ups, including water, sewer drainage, and either 30 or 50 amp electric service. For those seeking a more rustic experience, we offer expansive "free-range" tent camping and primitive campsites, providing ample space and privacy.
Enjoy a variety of outdoor activities right on-site, including a thrilling zip-line experience. The cooler temperatures and refreshing summer breezes on the rim make for a comfortable retreat during the warmer months. Stay connected with strong cell phone coverage throughout the area, and rest easy knowing there are no steep roads to navigate—unlike the 10% grade roads found in the State Park, which can pose challenges for larger camping rigs.

Great host!! Perfect for our needs!! We needed somewhere to check in late on our way across country.
We checked in at 10p and Tyler & Ted met us outside and made sure we knew right where to go.
There’s no amenities as far as power, restrooms or water but Tyler made sure we knew where to make our last stop from either direction if we needed to. They also had farm related add ons like horse riding, fresh eggs and the like to add to your stay if you need them.
We are a fully self contained rig so it worked perfectly for us!! Will likely stay again on our way thru in the future!!

I loved my hipcamp experience here! To start, the host is quick to help with any questions or information. I was arriving late and received a response almost immediately with everything I would need. Ted, their dog, is awesome. We were told he'd help guide us when we got there and we kinda laughed, said aweee, and expected to see him bark from their house. No...this cutie led us all the way to where we needed to go--not kidding, he would LET US KNOW if we were going the wrong way by standing and barking in front of our car. Not only that, he would keep the same pace as us, make sure we were following along, and only left once we got out and pet him on the head. He was so perfect and honestly made the whole thing worth it. Besides that, their land is beautiful. The horses just graze alongside your car and the windmills are so close! We car camped which was perfect for the weather. A starry night , a beautiful sunrise, and some horse pets later, we were on our way! Quick easy perfect rest stop.

Oh y’all, I wish I’d gotten to spend more time here! Who knew windmills make the gentlest, subtlest white noise? Did I have to dodge cowpats (the cows and horses kept a respectful distance) and stick to the gravel road for a dusk walk for fear of rattlesnakes? Sure, but it’s Texas!!!

I booked this hipcamp fairly last minute as a stop on a crosss country road trip! They were super communicative, the directions were easy to follow and it was fairly peaceful! They had no issue with the fact that I had to get in late and leave early. I would definitely stop here again.
Thanks guys!

Tent camping was great. He was very quick to respond so it made getting to the site really easy. We got to camp by some wind turbines which we thought was wicked but if it's not your thing, there's other places on the property. The cows and horses are real chill and the scenery was great. I'd totally camp there again.

This is the perfect location to stay leaving/returning from deep inside Texas. It’s a day drive to great places in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah…etc.
I stay here every time I go camping north of the panhandle.
It’s right off the highway, it’s convenient and quiet.
Tyler and his family are the type of people that optimize what you think of when you envision “the Texan Family”. They are kind, thoughtful and gracious beyond words. I always feel safe and welcomed whenever I stay there.
Now it is breezy and dispersed camping. You have to be an animal lover, because they have all kinds of different pony’s, horses and cattle. I am, and there is nothing like waking up to a beautiful Texas sunrise, drinking your coffee and petting a cute pony.
In short, I recommend with two thumbs up

Wow! If you like feeling like you are in the middle of nowhere, but only minutes away in reality, then this is your place. The calming of the windmills (turbines?) is so calming. Had a storm roll in while we were there and it was exhilarating! Saw my first antelope and jackrabbit! Highly communicative host! 12/10 recommend. And yes, it’s windy. Just get a feel of the wind and park accordingly.

Tent camping under the stars on Tyler's land was fantastic! Plenty of open space and we got the opportunity to sleep near a wind turbine. While it may be loud for others (there are certainly other places on the property if the noise isn't for you), we loved falling asleep under the stars and waking up to a beautiful, really cool wind turbine.

Great place with only one house we could see waaay in the distance. We were the only ones there, which was very cool. We had no problem getting there and finding a nice level spot. My dog loved being able to run and sniff around. The only issue is it was very windy when we arrived, which is not surprising, being as it is on a wind farm. But, the morning was just a normal breeze. We had a great time.

An amazing spot and great host! I arrived after dark and the directions to the site provided by Tyler were easy to follow. Very peaceful and private spot and I felt extremely safe here as a solo female traveler. The horses wandered over to my van shortly after I arrived and were there in the morning too before I left. It was an incredible experience!

I took a break from Hipcamp due to a bad experience. Coyote Breaks has been on my list for travel between TX and CO. So glad I took the chance!! Tyler was so pleasant to deal with even though I arrived later than intended
(My poor planning with time zone change.) His communication was timely and directions were clear. It was dark upon my arrival and he assured me that I was in the correct location. I had such a peaceful nights rest and when I woke… wide open space!! Unfortunately I missed the welcoming committee (4-legged furry friend!!) But that’s because of my late arrival. I will be back on next travels.
