Caprock Canyons State Park & Trailway Just Might Have The Most Beautiful Campground In The Entire State Of Texas
On a camping trip, is there anything better than unzipping your tent in the morning and being met with the most beautiful scenery you could ever imagine? That’s par for the course at Caprock Canyons State Park & Trailway in Quitaque, where nearly all the campsites are set against a background of towering red bluffs that date back millions of years. If you haven’t been yet, there’s no sense waiting any longer!

With nearly 90 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails ranging in length from one to 15 miles, all ages and skill levels can appreciate the rugged canyon wilderness.

A pristine oasis, the lake allows swimming, fishing, and no-wake boating - what better way to cool off after a long, sweaty hike?

Whether you have an RV or you're packing in on foot, rest assured one of the more than 120 campsites will suit your needs.

You won't have to break the bank, either, as the nightly rate for primitive campsites starts at just $12 (overflow sites are even less, at $10 per night).

These sites range from $14 to $22 per night, and additional amenities include a fire ring, picnic table, shade shelter, and lantern post.

Even better, you'll be just steps from some of the most popular trails, so adventure is never far away.

The park is home to a large herd of wild bison, and while they normally graze at a safe distance from visitors, a few mischievous fellas have been known to peruse the camping areas for a snack. When they aren't rummaging through your belongings, however, these majestic creatures are absolutely awe-inspiring to observe!
