  • We, too, loved Palo Duro State Park. However, that area is VERY hot at this time of year. We were there in Fall.
  • There is an rv park right at the turnoff from I-27. Or u can stay down in the park.
  • If you want a full service park in Amarillo and drive to Palo Duro Canyon, we like Oasis RV Resort. Level paved sites with full hookups. Con: no shade. Palo Duro Canyon is beautiful if you want remote & peaceful. Limited cell service.
  • The first time we were there, it was already dark. We didn't know anything about the place. When we got up in the morning, the view was spectacular.

  • Palo Duro Canyon State Park, another for sure. If you have a toad, disconnect and have partner drive it in and out. Good road, be sure and check brakes before starting both ways, and just watch the road instead of the vista.
  • Palo Duro Canyon SP for sure. You will have no trouble getting your motorhome down into the canyon and the views are amazing. Try to get a site way out in the end of the park in the Mesquite loop. Take a look at my signature photolink and you will find an entire album of pictures of the park, one of the best in TX.
  • Oh wow, I was born in that area in the 50's .... I've been planning to get back. Cant wait for the replies. Damn that's going to be a long drive from the Tx coast to the Panhandle. Oh well, I got the time.....
