What is the cost of staying there and what facilities do they have? Thanks in advance.

We stayed there last week....great hiking trails and great campground. Temp varied from 91 degrees on Monday to a low of 16 on Tues morning
. Be aware of dropping temps in the canyon. There is no cell service, so we were taken by surprise by the dip in temp. Lucky though - we were up early enough - that we were able to get the water running after it started to freeze - close call.

Haven't been there in years. Looks good!

What a beautiful place to visit. But extremely hot to camp in the summer months.

Our fav. camp in Texas. We use Hackberry Loop. Sites 9 and 10 are nice. Was there last week for the fifth time so far.

We live just over an hour away. We love Palo Duro!

Don’t forget Cap Rock Canyon in Quitaque. About 50 miles from Palo , all hooks ups and very well maintained. You can reserve on line.

I was there with family June 1996 and got to see the play "TEXAS" a Musical Romance of Panhandle History and it was great. The most successful outdoor musical drama production in the nation and seats 1,742. It runs from mid Jun to late Aug nightly except Sunday. You will not want to miss this. Beside that there's lot to see in the local area. For reservations to the play call (806) 655-2181
