Description

Fortress Cliff Campground is a set of 18 tent-only sites on the southern end of the park, near the equestrian campground, and over 10+ miles of trail. While shade shelters are provided, you’ll have to work a little but for other amenities: showers are 1/2 - 2 miles away, and water is available at the campground, but not at each site. What’s camping without roughing it though?

Best trails in this state park. Beautiful scenery. Take plenty of water to hike. Forest Cliff Campground has potable water spigots and an outhouse.

Worst campground at Palo Duro. No seclusion from the other campsites. Water is available, restrooms are Porta Pottys and showers are at the RV campground. Only use this one if all others taken.

Decent sites in a great park. BUT.....when I was there...mid Sept, the flies at the campsite were unbearable from about 5p til just after dark. Literally had hundreds of flies covering my car and picnic table. With just a 2 man tent and 95 degree temps, I had a pretty miserable afternoon after a great day of hiking. Check out your site before you set up camp and change if you need to.
