Pack-In & Pack-out
We ask that you do your part and always pack out what you pack in. Pick up your trash and dispose of it at the dumpsters provided at the park entrance.

Camping

We will enjoy a Rim camping spot in the park. These spots are located on the rim of the canyon and offer breath-taking views of the canyon.

You are in for a special treat as the sunsets and sunrises are moments you will never forget.

These campsites are primitive! This means you must plan to bring everything you will need for your stay. Bathrooms are available at the park entrance. If you use the restroom at camp, all waste must be properly disposed of in safe containers or by burrying it sufficiently deep underground (min. 12").

Friendships

As the sun sets on another day of off-roading through the rugged terrain of Palo Duro Canyon, the group of friends gather around the campfire, ready to share stories of their adventures. The flickering flames dance against the night sky, casting a warm glow over the group as they settle in for a night of relaxation and camaraderie. The smell of wood smoke and sizzling food fills the air, the group grows closer, forging lifelong memories and friendships that will last long after the embers of the campfire have faded away.
