Not our favorite spot but it fit the need. There was no staff there. We had made a reservation in advance but no one was ever there. Our reservation was in the Black Mailbox. It’s a mobile home park and RV park. Not real clean. Didn’t really feel safe but there we no issues.

We stayed here for two nights in June for our visit to the nearby State Park and to see the show "Texas." There was a heatwave in the Panhandle when we were here (117 degrees at bottom of Canyon!), so we gave up our spot in the park itself for the relatively cooler 107 degrees in Canyon, TX. So we booked at the last minute, but we got a great pull through 50amp spot. The first impression of the place is that it's clearly been around for awhile. Some weeds amongst the trees. It feels like a site in northwest Texas. It's not beautifully groomed or landscaped. But is was a more than adequate home for us for two days. Our initial contact with the office was a great, efficient experience. Friendly service then and when we arrived 45 minutes later. I was worried our site might be a bit uneven, as the ground was generally pock-marked with small dips, but our auto-levelers had us level on the first try without any blocks needed. That rarely happens! All utilities were close together and set up was a breeze. We did not even try the wifi. I just used my very strong Verizon hotspot, and that worked for brief TV viewing in the evenings. We were parked near the "clubhouse" which we stepped into briefly. Pool table, books, restrooms and VHS tapes to borrow. That gives you an idea that this place could benefit from a little upgrade. The small outdoor area had a porch swing, horseshoes, and a few other games, along with a large firepit. During our time there, we never saw anyone availing themselves of ANY of it. Probably just too darn hot! The building next to it was the restroom, laundry, shower facility, but we did not look in. There are speedbumps on the main drive up to the office. I didn't care for taking my motorhome and tow vehicle over those...I feel it was noisy overkill. But otherwise, we had no serious complaints and we enjoyed our stay in this modest but friendly place. (Oh, and the highway is fairly nearby, but just far enough away that we didn't really hear much traffic. Never impacted our ability to sleep!)

We stayed here for 2 nights, a weekend in late October, in a 24 foot trailer. We wanted to visit Palo Duro Canyon, but the campground was full! The woman who checked us in, Diana, was very helpful in suggesting where to go in the area. She gave us a good site, next to a very sweet resident, who we enjoyed talking with. They were regravelling sites, so not many were available. Biggest drawback for me, was road noise, but it did subside in the wee hours. This place is only about 10 minutes away from Palo Duro Canyon, and close to Canyon, where you can get anything you need. The showers were hot, but only one toilet, of the two, worked well. Only shower curtains, not much privacy. Pretty run down! The 4 washers worked okay, but only 2 dryers did. I’d stay here again, if my goal was to go to Palo Duro Canyon without a reservation.

We were originally going to camp at the State Park but they were full for the weekend. This campground was about 10-15 minutes from the park. It was only about 5 minutes from the History museum and not far from Amarillo. Staff (owner?) was very friendly and helpful. Site was narrow and muddy but with no one beside us, it worked fine. We had no one behind us so were able to drive through and hook up on the site. Lots of big rigs passing through. I used the laundry and it was clean and the machines worked well.

It’s great for one night, peaceful, but crowded with lots of permanent residences. Site was ok, half gravel, half dirt, and a little muddy. Be careful if there is or has been a lot of rain, as it might be an issue.
