Very primitive as described, but for the price & close proximity to the park, you can’t beat it. Host was friendly, location was safe & quiet with an occasional distant train whistle. Road was a little hard to find the first time & is definitely bumpy but short. Wish the spots were a little further apart since it’s so wide open with little privacy, yet nothing too different than what we’ve experienced at state or national campgrounds.

Camped in site #38 & had beautiful views of dunes. Like everyone else says, come prepared with everything you need & it definitely gets hot out there so hike early. My site had some shade but was glad I had more. I was there in late Aug & had no problems with bugs. Cool nights & a million stars. Hard to grasp just how large the dunes are until you are there Would def camp here again & wish I had HCV to go in the backcountry.

Looove Palo Duro Canyon SP! Such a gem. Actually camped at the Juniper campgrounds, which isn't listed on Hipcamp for some reason, but I'd imagine any of the campgrounds would be great. The only downside is the seemingly never-ending fire ban. This is a very popular park, so if you can go during the offseason or during the week. Also, it gets HOT and there is very little shade, so definitely suggest fall, winter, or early spring.

Great park + campgrounds less than 1.5 hr from Austin. Our site was beautiful + near the lake + felt private considering how close to the bathrooms + trails. Popular park so try to go during the week, but even when busy, easy to find less traveled trails + some peace + quiet.

Love camping here under the beautiful redwoods! Can get crowded, but with planning you can find some semi-private ones and/or not right on top of each other.

One of my absolute favorite places! What everyone says is true. Will always return here when given the chance.
