About

State Park

Wind and water over the eons shaped the rugged beauty of Caprock Canyons State Park in the Panhandle of Texas. Today, bison roam the plains, bats roost in Clarity Tunnel, and you can explore 90 miles of trails.

These sites are in the Lake Theo area.

Spectacular views

Checkin was so easy and super friendly. The campsites are very spacious and well kept. The most magnificent part are the views and there’s a scenic route you can drive… just beautiful! The prairie dogs are super cute and entertaining as well as the magnificence of the wild bison roaming about.

Fantastic for family camping

I have stayed in the Lake Theo Tent Camping Area several times - ranging from 110° days in May through perfect 75° days in July. Shaded sites go quickly, so be sure to spend extra time studying the map. The campsites are a short walk from a swimming hole and fishing area. There are often paddleboats and boards lolling around the no-wake lake. The trails are lovely, and if you catch site of the Texas State Bison herd, you'll fall in love with the park. Amazing bat-watching as well!

Word’s can’t describe this!

We LOVED camping here. We spent one night at the Little Red Campground, which has a surreal view down into the Red River. Our site had a covered patio, table and running water, and short walk to the outhouse (but no restroom with sinks). Sites were pretty private due to dense bushes and space between them.

The ranger closed that area due to COVID, so we drove downhill to the Lake Theo campground for 3 nights. We had a great waterfront site on the very far east end, it was just a bit of a walk to the restrooms and showers. People camping nearby were respectful, but it’s not as private as the Little Red Campground. But no complaints at all, it was amazing to hear dozens of coyotes in the evening and early morning.

The hiking was amazing here!!!

Feels like Utah meets SD

Red canyons, sunsets, bison, amber fields. Park road is pretty linear, lots of trails and camping options. I forget the exact site we camped but all the choices were lovely. Was nice and empty, excluding all the critters. Some tent sites do not have water and it’s very hot, so bring tons of water in a cooler. Highly recommended for this part of TX.
