Beautiful views and nice hiking trails. Easy parking once you're in, but get there early on the weekends!

Camped for the night… great place, very kid friendly. Bathrooms and shower were very clean.. camp site #10 in Hackberry was private and enjoyed it!

Spontaneous stop, what a great decision! So beautiful so relaxing. We camped in MESQUITE campgrounds which was way towards the back end and it was so quiet and watching the sun rise and set was incredible. Nothing like waking up with those type of views.. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Palo Duro Canyon State Park is absolutely breathtaking. The views are incredible, and photos truly do not do them justice. This is one of those places you have to experience in person to fully appreciate.
The park staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. We hiked the famous Lighthouse Trail in late February and had a great experience.
One thing to keep in mind is that the trail has very little shade. We brought our dog in February, and even then it got pretty hot for him. I would be very cautious about bringing dogs during the summer months, especially later in the day.
The park also gets quite busy after about 10 a.m., so arriving early is a good idea.
We originally came for the hiking, but we enjoyed the park so much that we're already planning to come back and camp this fall. A must-see destination and one of the most beautiful places we've visited in Texas. Highly recommend!

Great afternoon break from driving. Hiked a couple easy miles but there are trails for all levels of difficulty. Beautiful scenery and good facilities.
