Re: Palo Duro Campsites/Can't figure this out

We went throught there a few years back and I have an older map from the park, and as I look at the map and recall most of the sites are near some road one good website to visit is Palo Duro Canyon State Park

Has lots of photos, Click on the header tab "Contact/Maps" and you will have a map with directions to the park. At the bottom of that page are the words "Park Map" you can click on for a detailed map of the camp and hiking sites. It may be slightly better than the TP map :confused: Also the FAQ's are good

Following the map, the Sagebrush Camp area and the Hackberry Camp area are the most populated because of their close proximity to the Pioneer Amphitheater ( when the play is held)

Cactus Camp is set in tall cottonwood trees and is near the creek. Fortress Cliff refers to a large opening in the canyon wall, that campsite is only 100 feet or so from a popular hike.Mesquite camp area is opposite the Cow Camp Cabins and is on higher ground and is not shaded unless you count mesquite trees :laugh: Park was not full when we went through

As I recall it had a nice store. Did not do the lighthouse trail but I bet someone on the forum has, try hiking heading to see.
