Palo Duro Canyon State Park

canyonplains

Accessibility baseline: Sites on this platform are reviewed for access with a standard 2WD pickup truck towing a 21-foot travel trailer unless otherwise noted below.

Why this site is listed: No primitive drive-in camping for trailers at Palo Duro — the hookup loops are the only trailer option. Included because this canyon anchors two of the site's 10-day itineraries; there is simply no alternative in the Texas Panhandle.
