Summary

There are no toilets (bring your own setup), no potable water, and no amenities like fire rings, picnic tables, or hookups. Accessible by high-clearance vehicles, it’s a remote, grassy meadow surrounded by rolling hills and scattered trees—perfect for solitude and stargazing. The area is ideal for primitive camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Nearby attractions include Caprock Canyons State Park and the scenic Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River. Best visited in spring or fall for mild temperatures and blooming wildflowers. Bring all essentials and pack out waste.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
