We have a couple of spare days that we will be spending in Amarillo, TXNever been before so are there any nice RV parks around and any cool places to visit?Thx

Never thought of Amarillo as a place to visit as such. There is the Big Texan where if you can eat a 72oz steak dinner, it is free. We have always stayed at Amarillo Ranch RV Park. It is big, dusty & Texan. We did spend more than one night there once but that was because of high wind & hazardous driving in the direction we were going.

Oh dear - I guess we will have to go see the Big Texan then :)

Amarillo = armpit of Texas. Palo Duro Canyon is certainly worth seeing. Cadillac Ranch is worth a stop for a picture. Big Texan... seen the signs for decades never been in the place.

We like the oasis RV park off I-40 on the west side of Amarillo. Visit Palo Duro Canyon park west of Alamogordo and near Canyon TX.

Never stayed in Amarillo, but this might help: RV Park Reviews.Near Amarillo: Never been to the state park, but have read about it & would like to make it over there someday. Palo Duro Canyon State Park as well as Caprock Canyons State Park, from what I have read, seem like very neat areas to see. Caprock Canyons State Park & Trailway would make a neat place to check out. One I would like to see. For perhaps a neat experience, Copper Breaks State Park near Quanah sounds pretty cool.

Any nice parks in Amarillo and where to visit?
