Caprock Canyons State Park – the best campground in America?

Hello and thanks for visiting my blog! Well, I think the search is over. I might have found the very best state park in the entire United States. Of course, I’ll keep searching but if you’re ever in Texas or passing through or even thinking about going somewhere, you need to book a site at Caprock Canyons State Park in Quitaque, Texas.

From the hiking and biking to the wildlife and scenery, I hardly have words to describe this hidden gem of Texas, as one camper I met calls it. I was here for 5 days and it seemed like every day there was something new to see. But before I get into the treasures of this park, I’ll give you a little rundown of what’s to come. There’s so much that I want to share that I’m going to break it up into into smaller posts for the sake of your time. Obviously, the big draw at this park are the ginormous, amazing canyons. So why not kick off this series with the canyon collection of photos, shall we? As a teaser, though, I’ll tell you the upcoming posts after this one will include stories and photos of bison, prairie dogs, owls, a roadrunner, sunsets and stars, and deer… plus THE BEST photo I’ve ever taken in my entire whole life! But we’ll get to that. First up, the beautiful, steep, colorful, memorable canyons.
