Description

10 individual sites situated at the junction between the Little Red and the South Prong rivers, these grounds are very spacious, scenic and widely considered some of the best spots around at Caprock Canyon. The catch - they are also famously infamous for the large slithery serpents of venomous variety known as rattlesnakes. If you do chance to come across one of these rattling reptiles, keep it calm and keep it cool. They rarely attack unless provoked.

Beautiful place to wake up and see the sites 1st thing. Each campground has a fire ring, picnic table with wind protector(?). It was a little windy, and it was chilly at night.

This is the best campground in the park! Beautiful views of the canyons and lots to explore right from your site. It being infamous for rattlesnakes is no joke so watch your step! We also came across lots of other wildlife in these isolated sites.

the Little Red Tent campground at Caprock Canyon State park is a tent only camping area. If you do not mind having to walk a few minutes to the restroom this is a great area. It is beautiful and every time I have stayed here, my group was the only group camping in the entire campground. The entire park is accessible 24 hours a day unlike many of the other parks that lock their gates at 10pm. I often stop here when I am running long trips to Colorado or Utah to sleep for the night, before continuing to Houston the next day.
