I was passing through Amarillo on my way to move to Denver and this was the perfect place to rest as I did not have my camping equipment accessible during my move. The tent was set up with a bed, plenty of bedding and pillows to keep me warm, two chairs, and a nightstand. The tent is located on the back side of a small hill which secludes you from the rest of the property, giving you plenty of privacy. The property is located just outside of Amarillo, far enough to enjoy open spaces and beautiful sunsets, but still close enough to run into town for a meal. A is an excellent host, and I would 100% recommend staying here! Can't wait to be back.

Our camp site at Mariposa was magical! It is close enough to town to easily reach restaurants in just minutes, but also quiet and isolated for a wonderful desert camping experience. Our host was fantastic as well. Although we didn't need anything, she made sure we knew we could call on her if we did. If I'm ever in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Mariposa again!

Clear directions, friendly folks, central locational to where I needed to be, beautiful camping spot. Couldn't really ask for much more. The host gave a great restaurant recommendation for the area. Very happy with our experience.

We loved our stay at Mariposa! The host was very welcoming and showed us right to our site. It was close enough to town to run back for supplies but far enough out to where you can hear and see all the wildlife. It was so great!

Mariposa was awesome and our host was the best. Everything was setup and ready for us when we arrived. Beautiful piece of property that was very private. We woke up to a pronghorn looking for breakfast just outside our camp!! Thanks again A for such a great experience!!!

Really grateful to have found a spot safely tucked outside of Amarillo. There is plenty of room to spread out and make your own spot for the night!

We enjoyed our night at Mariposa! Having everything all set up made it so easy for us and the tent was great. I'd do this again for sure.

Perfect little tent! Only stayed for a night but it was beautiful to wake up to that view in the morning. Felt safe and secluded.

Mariposa
Mariposa is such a great place to camp! I highly recommend you check it out. The site is perfectly private and the views are lovely! It’s not far from the bustling northwest edge of Amarillo, but you wouldn’t know it when you’re at the site. The lights of the city are far enough away to afford enough a good amount of darkness to view the stars at night. A., the owner and main contact, was a wonderful host; after they introduced us to our site they were appropriately hands-off.. Additionally, It was easy to get in touch with A when we needed to. We communicated well and I always received a quick reply. If I’m in the area again, I look forward to booking this site a second time! One thing to note: at night, it’s really easy to miss the Mariposa street sign on the main highway. I passed the sign going both north and south due to the darkness. Once you find the turn-off, however, the gate is right there so there’s no possibility of getting lost beyond that. Overall, the Mariposa campground is awesome. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area. It’s worth it!

This place was awesome! My dog and I had fun during our stay. Most comfortable air mattress I’ve ever slept on! Saw several elk both after dusk and at sunrise. The sunset was beyond beautiful. I would definitely stay here again. The camp was already set up and ready to go, there is a portapotty within walking distance.

Absolutely gorgeous view!! Far enough from the hustle and bustle to enjoy, yet close enough to get what you need from the city. I enjoyed every breath-taking moment! The drive-in site was nice (no hiking to get to the location). Could not have gone any better!

Very nice host! I've camped my entire life and it is always helpful having wonderful hosts. I think the campsites could use better development (e.g., more leveled ground) but other than that it is great location for camping and watching sunsets.

Mariposa
I love how quirky Mariposa is. It was fun to see the architecture of the buildings as well as the interesting signage created by a local artist in Amarillo. The terrain is beautiful and is a great spot for hiking. The host has recommendations of where to set up camp but you are free to roam certain areas as desired. If you love picking your own spot to camp, this is your place. The opportunities and options are endless.
