This is a basic park. It is all gravelly with patches of grass and the roads are very rutted and uneven lots - made it difficult to maneuver around. It is on a hill. If there had been rain, I think it would be terrible. It was fine for a stopover, and the people were nice. We arrived late so they put out an orange cone for us to see the spot more easily. We were in late and out early, so I didn't use the restroom facilities. They did have areas to walk the dog. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We picked this campground rather than trying to stay on busy I-40. This location may be slightly quieter, but only slightly. How they can get away with advertising their resort as "quiet" is beyond me. It is right on busy 287. Not only that, the intersection to the north seems to attract lots of cars with loud boom boxes. The campground has many nice trees, however, many trees need pruning. We had to back out of our pull through site to avoid running into tree branches and managed to brush against branches of a different tree. On the plus side, the manager was friendly, there is a nice park across the street and an amusement park and a golf course are close by. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
An older park located near down town on the north side of Amarillo. All pull-thrus with mature shade trees. No fancy landscaping and the interior roads could use some work, but a reasonably priced alternative to the more elaborate RV parks out on the Interstate. Located across the street from a large city park with golf, zoo, swimming pool and amusement park. Right on busy Highway 287, so expect some highway noise. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Easy to find from Hwy 40. Check-in was a breeze. You will hear the train often during the day and night. Cabin was clean and close to the restrooms and showers. We were tired from a long day of travel. They offered pizza at a reasonable price and even offered to deliver it to our cabin. It saved us from getting out that night during bad weather. We were on a motorcycle. Price reflects the extra $10.00 pet fee. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
The campground is on the outskirts of the city and well off the highway. Even so, the location was very noisy due to nearby trains, an airport, and what sounded like stock car racing during the evening. The pull through sites were quite close together but there was more spacing between the back-in sites where we stayed. There is little shade. The restroom/shower building was very clean and quite spacious. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. This was our second stay here and we would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground was very clean and new. The staff was nice. We reserved 50 amp service but it was locked out when we arrived late so we had to use 30 amp service. The playground and dog area was great. The bathrooms and washer/dryer areas were new and very clean. The pool was small but clean and nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There are very clean restrooms and nice staff. The camp sites were small, and many did not have shade of any kind. The noise level was really bad, at night, from nearby airport, interstate, and train. It was very difficult to get any sleep. It is VERY windy. One has to drive past several seedy-looking houses to get to the campground. The turns are very clearly marked to get to the site from I-40. There is a store on-site, but it seemed over-priced. Overall, we would not stay here again. We camped here in a Tent.
A nice park well off the major highways and easy to get to. But, as others have noted, it is adjacent to the airport and a short distance from the rail line. The airport is not a major hub so traffic is minimum. Two or three times one day military jets screamed by but the airport apparently shuts down at night so there was no night traffic that disturbed us. And the very few low moans of train whistles in the distance brought back pleasant childhood memories. The sites were grass or gravel and level. TV was strange in that a limited cable system did not carry any of the local channels (ABC, CBS, NBC). Then when I switched to the antenna for local channels I lost all cable channels. WiFi signal was strong and constant. There is a special restroom and shower for handicapped but you have to ask for the code to get in. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restrooms were clean. Rabbits freely roam the campsites and did not seem to be bothered by humans. The staff may suggest dinner at the Big Texan, home of the “free” 72 oz. steak and a great place to eat, but be prepared for a minimum tab of $25+ per person. All in all, a nice place for a short stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground is near an airport and there are train tracks that run by. I would have rated it higher except for this. It was convenient to the highway. Had friendly staff. We enjoyed sitting out watching the rabbits and prairie dogs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is a nice park with nice staff. Everything is clean and neat. The staff called the free Limo (tip the driver) to the Big Texan for dinner. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A typical KOA, clean and well laid out, friendly staff, level sites, dog run etc. We enjoyed the limo ride to the Big Texan and really did not notice excessive road noise and only a couple of A/C on approach but is really not an issue for us. We will stay here again on the return trip. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was an easy stop right of off the high way. However, you have to contend with a lot of road noise that does not die down. Also, you are right at the end of an airport runway. The planes stop sometime after 10pm but start right up again around 6am. We were also kept awake by the constant noise of trains. On a good note, the WiFi service was good here and the staff was very friendly and helpful. If given a choice, I would not stop here again due to all the noise pollution. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed there three days while visiting friends. The staff was very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Enjoyable stay - rate included tax and was for a weekly rate of $203 - enjoyable place out in the country. We enjoyed watching the helicopters flying in and out of the airport across the way. The park owners were very friendly and the park was quiet. A very nice enclosed dog run which our dog enjoyed very much. The dog had not seen jack rabbits before so all 8 lbs of her wasn't sure about them, so enjoyed the fence between her and them in the dog run. Very easy park to negotiate both in entering and also in siting. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Overall a very nice campground just outside of town. We stayed one night. It was easy to find. We didn't get to talk to the staff because we arrived late and left early, but they left very good instructions for finding our site. They had a lot of rain and roads were muddy. But our site was grass. The campground was next to airport but we didn't hear any noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Convenient off the interstate for an overnight stay. We called for a site and arrived late after the office had closed, but they had all our information ready and waiting for us when we got there. Plenty of room for out 34 foot motorhome and 16 foot trailer. Office staff were very courteous. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Level sites a little close together. Small dog park. Convenient to Amarillo sites. Friendly people at check in. Our surge protector shut off the electric and the maintenance person said they didn't have surges in the area. Not sure if we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park was nice stop-over for our two week trip to the northern US. Campsites are very level, and the restrooms were in really nice shape. Pool was nice break from the 100 degree weather! The trip to the campground was a little interesting, in that you have to pass a few "adult entertainment" venues, so we needed to explain what "XXX" meant to the kids. That was fun!! Overall, I would stay there again for a short visit. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed here for 3 nights. Found it a very nice place. The first night the lady in the office said we should go to the Texas steak house to eat and called for a limo to come pick us up. It is part of the steak house service. It was fun. The park is located right off the highway so it was easy getting on and off to go sight seeing. Didn't hear any traffic. Park is clean and well taken care of We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Over priced!! There are better campgrounds in the area cheaper. You are in a large field located on the back side of the airport. So planes start leaving at 7:00 in the morning. The trains also run all night. There is no traffic noise though since you are away from the highway. But my main complaint is the cost. I just booked a resort located on the other side of town for $33 a night that includes free laundry and adult spa etc. I think you get the point!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Over priced compared to other 10 KOA campgrounds I have stayed at which averaged 27$. Forced to pay for 5 gallons propane when only needed 2.5 and was mis-led by attendant who stated "you probably wont need to get 5 gallons" at time of fill. De-meaning attitudes. Will not camp hear again and will post my review on all RV forums. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A clean, well kept park convenient to I-40 (about 2 miles off the interstate). Good hookups and level sites. The cable reception wasn't very clear, but the WiFi was good. They have a well-stocked and classy little convenience store on site. Although the park is located in an acceptable area (near an open field), you will drive by numerous XXX establishments on your way there. However, don't get the impression that it's an inner city setting, because it's not like that at all. Be prepared for wind! I give it a 7 instead of an 8 because it is overpriced compared to similarly good KOA's that I've seen. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I oftentimes check out the reviews just to see what campgrounds sound like wonderful places to visit! We've stayed at some wonderful campgrounds thanks to this website! I noted the recent particularly negative review (Jan 2008), about the Amarillo KOA & I haven't left a recent post on it, so now I am. We have stayed at this park every August on our way to & from northern New Mexico. Yes, you have to pass by a mobile home park & fields to get there & there is occasional airplane & train sounds (from a distance), but those are the only negatives that I can think of! During our last stay this past August, their sewer system had been accidentally damaged by someone, in another area digging into the city's sewer line, thus affecting the KOA park. They were decreasing the campers fee to compensate for the inconvience & allowing campers to empty their gray water tanks, just not black water. They were very apologetic about the situation & I'm sure by now, the city has fixed the mishap. The staff is very friendly & goes over & beyond in making campers stay pleasant. They also escort you to your site & stay around to make sure your pleased. We did see the cute hayride wagon loaded with campers & it was darling! The park also furnishes cute little cycles to ride around the park in. Their pool is immaculate (I know, I'm an avid swimmer) & their gift shop is darling! Their grocery area in the office is very well stocked & reasonably priced. The cable & wifi work well & wonderful cookies are given out at registration. The campground is very clean & pretty much quiet! Will we go back there? Absolutely! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very friendly staff. They gave us free cookies at check-in. They had a hayride for guests that was really cute. Good wi-fi (a little slow at times), not too many cable channels. Clean campground, level sites. Great overnight spot. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I compare KOAs to McDonalds - you pretty much know exactly what you are going to get. This campground was clean, the store very well stocked and the pool area great after a long day's drive. WiFi worked very well but the cable TV was a little iffy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Drive to park makes for nice surprise once there. Staff is friendly, helpful. Park is clean and well cared for. Store has great gifts, food items. Pool just opened was crystal clear. They were putting in either new or more cabins which were very nice. Laundry clean, game room, nice. Next door an airport but not too overwhelming. If you like military planes you can see a few landing and taking off. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice staff that were helpful getting us a ride to the Big Tex, limo with horns on the front. Campground is close to the airport, not busy but occasional noise. Big dip when coming off of the main road, had to work the angles to not scrape. Sites were gravel and level, no trees where the pull thrus are. Pricey for what was there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
An older KOA but lots of wide-open space around the park and clean restrooms/showers. Decent wifi and cable. Nice owners. Funny feature is that there's a pack of wild jackrabbits that live near the pet walk area. My dog thought they were the weirdest looking "dogs" she'd ever seen hopping around and such! Even though the park is adjacent to the airport land, there is virtually no planes at night so it's quiet (but during the day, there can be an occasional military or commercial jet). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This KOA is a nice park to stay overnight. There is a little train noise. During the day you can hear some airport nice, but there is no airport noise at night. The playground is not as thrilling that most kids dream about. The pull-thru have no shade, but the back-ins do have some shade. None the less this is a nice park to stay overnight. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Two-miles off I -40 so it was quiet. Level gravel sites, with picnic tables on grass. Excellent restrooms and showers. Free Wifi and cable tv. Pool was closed for winter; game room, playground, basketball court, nice gift shop. Staff was friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is located near the Amarillo airport where the other Amarillo RV parks are located too. The park staff is very friendly and the WIFI worked great. The Big Texas Restaurant nearby will pick you up in a limo (with longhorns on the hood) at the KOA for free. This was alot of fun and I would recommend the experience for anyone visiting Amarillo. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Clean sites, older KOA. Main drawback was the area where it was located in Amarillo. The area looked run down. Some noise from the airport, but not unbearable. I appreicated all of the signs posted to warn customers of potential bad weather in the area. Very comforting touch. There are nicer RV parks in this area, but it seems to be one of the most family friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great park. There's a lot to do, with a pool, mini-golf, a diner area, and many friendly people. Most sites are at least partially shaded. The other review here mentioned that this would be a good destination RV park. I found that hard to believe, but now we'd like to go back to spend a weekend. It's that nice, and Amarillo seems like it has some things to do as well. There's a dragstrip a couple of miles away.
This place is very well run by an energetic young couple. The only thing that detracts (and earns a 9 rating rather than a 10) is that there are no trash bins around. You leave your trash outside, and they come around and pick that up. While that's somewhat convenient, it's also a bit smelly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was an excellent park. We were coming back from Taos NM and spent 1 night here. The pool was wonderful for the kids. The rest rooms were clean. This park is a couple of miles from the interstate but easy to find and worth the drive. It is easy to get to and quiet. The store was wonderful and they had a dinner wagon if you want. We chose to go to the Big Texan which is right down the road. It was excellent too. We are planning on returning and making Amarillo our destination because we liked the place so well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Right off I-40, easy to find. All gravel, no trees, level, big sites for over nighters. Good for overnight stop in Amarillo. No Wi-Fi except in office, cable TV OK. Price we paid is their one night Passport America allowance. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Convenient location off exit 74 off I-40. Price is Camp Club cost. Level gravel lots. Friendly workers. Minimum trees. Great place to stay in this area. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate was for Camp Club USA. We were a tad worried as we drove through the neighborhood to get to this park, but it turned out to be a nice experience. The people were very friendly and we even got free coffee and donuts the next morning. If going through Amarillo again we would stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice place to stay in Amarillo just east of city center. The hookups are excellent and the sites are very large and open. There are few trees and therefore shade is not available for those visiting during the warmer months. Certainly a good overnight spot. We paid the Passport America 1 day rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very comfortable place to stay overnight (as we did) or longer (as we plan to do). The workcamping staff were very friendly and helpful. The laundry is very convenient (and not overly expensive, $1 wash/$1 dry). Our site (#P5) was level and an easy drive through for our 40' class A and towed car. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It's been used, but very clean/manicured lawns, trash area, showers,etc.(too bad the pool closes at 8pm) Very impressed with handicap shower. you don't find them like this in newer camps. You can't get away from the traffic/airplane/train noise in this town..it's just how the town grew up. Great price for Camp Club, open spaces, few trees, paved st. rounded curbs & very nice personnel. I'll go back there, but you can forget the "steak place' attraction, it's tasteless. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My biggest complaint is the Wi-Fi only works in the laundry or the club house is is an open site and they don't want to broadcast it i guess. Some of the sites are very close together but the length is fine, sites are level pea gravel, water, and electric are good. Some road noise but not bad. Office staff very friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was not a very good place to stay. The business center was old and dirty. The bathroom, showers and washer/dryers were not well-maintained. The road noise from the interstate was loud. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We paid the Passport America rate. This park has efficient, pleasant staff. The sites are huge and well maintained. All hookups were convenient and in working order. There is convenient access to/from the park to Interstate 40. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Large sites, well-maintained park. Beautiful indoor pool. Large clubhouse/tornado shelter. Park is right off I-40, which is where all the shops and restaurants are in Amarillo. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Parks appears to be an older but nicer mobile home park that was converted to an RV Park. Accordingly, hook-ups might be a bit unusual necessitating a pull-in/back-out parking at some sites, but really not a problem. Sites are wide, some have trees. Even saw cotton-tailed rabbits in the park! Very accommodating and friendly hosts with escort to the site with care taken to be sure hook-ups are adequate for your rig. Easy access from I-40, but that comes with traffic noise. Since we were running the A/C, was no problem. Electric service was adequate, even with 100 degree temperatures. Good water pressure. Limo from Big Tex Steakhouse a few blocks away will pick you up in the park free. Coffee and donuts in the morning at the office! A good overnight stay! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed as a Passport member for 16.50. Agree with previous reviews. Restrooms were clean but showing wear. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Kind of open to wind & highway noise but good for a one nighter on the way to somewhere else. Dinner at The Big Texan is a must. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice clean park with sidewalks! Donuts & coffee in the office for breakfast. Site was large and level. Office hosts were nice. Good size park. The wi-fi was available, but you have to pay. They do have a PC in the office. We had to run the AC fan all night to quiet down the road noise. Easy on and off I-40. Some sites had trees. We had an escort to the site. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here 1 week. The park is clean and well maintained. The pool is inside and clean. This park has lots of nice amenities. Even free coffee and donuts in the morning. Easy on and off of I-40. Right next to The Big Texan restaurant. There is even a free limo rides from here to there. Price reflects weekly rate. A good place to stay while visiting Amarillo and Palo Duro Canyon. We'll stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The big advantage to this park is the easy access to the interstate (and it is a Camp Club USA park). The owners were very helpful. The site was plenty level and hooking up was a snap. The cable hookups were a big plus. Within a couple of miles from the park is the famous Big Texan steak house. (And it was _the best_ steak I have ever had!) Be aware that even though the sites by the office are "pull-through" you will want to make sure to plan your exit as going the wrong way will put you on a dead end (and it's not so easy to extricate yourself when pulling a car). The biggest downside to the park is how quickly the pool closes. The pool closes at the same time as the office (8 pm). But it does have a very nice pool area. A hard-wire internet connection is also available in the office if you cannot connect via the wireless or you need a more secure connection. I will definitely stay again if I am in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Old park, with poorly maintained grounds and roads. We stopped here because of the promise of fenced dog runs (which were really tiny). Helpful front office folks drive you to your site. We were happy to have a little grass alongside the site (well, the dog was happy), but feel that $33 (before Good Sam discount) is a lot. There is an indoor pool with hottub, which we didn't use. That may explain the price. Weather was poor, so we opted not to find a state park, but that might've been a smarter move.... We camped here in a Motorhome.
C/G has all of the facilities one would expect from a higher rated campground so I will only add to the previous reviews. Pool is indoors. Overnight sites aren't spacious, but the rest of the park sites have plenty of space between them. Free Wi-Fi in the club house, but on site it is a pay for use system. Some playground equipment for kids. Plenty of cable channels. Water pressure and voltage was very good. Rate reflects a Passport America discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As with previous reviewer, we are also on our way to Maine. Excellent park with long,wide pull throughs. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Park is very close to the best steak house in Amarillo. Good clean restrooms and nice enclosed dog run. We used Passport America for the $15 rate, so this park turned out to be a real bargain. We will definitely be staying here again We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were traveling thru from New Mexico to Maine. Using the Woodall's book we picked this particular park. My wife and I were very pleased, the staff were very friendly, the sites were really, really large and the park was easy on/off the highway. My wife and I visited the well-known steak house down the road and had a great one night stay during our travels here. I would visit again. I would have given it a 9 but the road/highway can be heard at night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground has really nice big concrete level sites. The owners are really nice and they have a great pool and hot tub for your convenience. The restrooms were nice and clean although you've only a shower curtain to cover up your space. Internet was free available in the office but you have to pay to get it at your site. You can use their printer for a small fee. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The large indoor pool was a big hit with my 10 year old son. The staff were very friendly. The pool closed early (6:00pm). We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not a fancy park, but nice. It is an easy on and off the freeway. The inside pool looked wonderful and the people in the office were very nice. We used Passport America. We didn't have reservations which this park seems to really want, but were allowed to use it anyway. A limo service to the local steak house was available. We didn't use it, but saw it go thru. Nice large pull through sites. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very attractive, clean, quiet park. We were escorted to our site and the lady was most helpful when it came to parking our rig as the spot was tight. Once in, however, we had plenty of room for the slideouts. Being able to walk our dogs is very important, and they provide a nice area for that. We will be going through Amarillo next spring and will definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have stayed here a few times before and it is a nice park with a good rate for Passport America. It probably used to be a mobile home park and the entry to the site is over a rounded curb. The sites are big with lots of grass and level. It has a pool and a spa that are nice to use. The wifi is $3 for 24 hours and is the usual park wifi that is great to poor depending. If you are using PA you need to make a reservation the day before staying. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A nice park with plenty of room. Near interstate, and easy to get on and off. I Agree with most everything other posters have said. The only weird thing is that you have to have a reservation to use Passport America. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Large gravel pull-through sites, full hookups and clean grounds. Good areas for dog walking plus two small runs. We took the free limo to The Big Texan restaurant, which was surprisingly good. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here one night, level sites spaced apart from each camper. Nice paved roads to and from site. Office people very nice and show you to your site. Clubhouse was nice with an indoor pool,adult only jacuzzi and swedish sauna very clean restrooms & showers. Limo service to and from the Big Texan Restaurant available free to your site. We stayed with Passport America. We used as an overnight stay, we will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This place is clean and well kept. No noise from the other campers. And it is the closest park to the Big Texan restaurant, which I would heartily recommend - they even have limo service from the campground to the restaurant and back, which is great if you don't want to unhook. All that being said, it is very noisy with I40 running right by and truck noise all night. But I didn't see any other park in Amarillo that was any better, so I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Lots of grass (alot of mowing going on!), some trees and fairly roomy sites where I was placed. I stayed two days and at $48 for that, using Passport America and Good Sam's, it was a little pricey! Nice clean pool. The I-40 freeway is close enough that there is plenty of noise and there is construction which makes finding the campground a little difficult. Campground is either full time residents or overnighters, but all is very neat and well kept. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Aesthetically, this parks looks very nice when pulling in. We had a nice site, although not one of their oversized sites as advertised. We had full hookups. Internet costs $3 if you wanted it from the site. Otherwise, WIFI was available in the clubhouse for free. Coffee and donuts in the AM. We had a nice big shade tree, a level gravel site, and a picnic table. This could be one of the nicer campgrounds with some updating. The noise from the highway and the water park were there but did not disturb our sleep. We did not use the indoor pool. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is right next door to a water park and a short ride to the heart of Amarillo. There was a nice hot Jacuzzi and indoor pool. We really enjoyed the American Quarter Horse Museum and recommend it to everyone, even if they weren't previously horse lovers. Also "Cadillac Ranch" is just up the road and a quirky roadside attraction no one should miss! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stopped here for one overnight stay only on our way home. Didn't use the facilities at all, but the staff was very nice. They directed us to our spot, even though we arrived after the office was closed. They didn't charge us for our 2 kids (one was under 12 and they comped us for the 16-yr old since we didn't use the facilities). Nice, older park - some highway noise, but not too bad. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an older park that looks like it was built as a mobile home park. Still has several mobile homes in the back. The spaces are long since they were designed for mobile homes. Our "pull-thru" site was piggy-backed behind another RV that was leaving the next day as we were. We were supposed to wait until they left before we left. The free WI-FI was available only in the clubhouse. We were told that there was a charge for WI-FI access from the RV sites. We found two unsecured WI-FI connections from our campsite, one being the same as available in the clubhouse. I was unable to send email from the park's WIFI connection. We enjoyed the roadrunners and rabbits in the park. We would stay here again as long as we could get the Passport America rate. Without the PA discount, it is too expensive. The PA discount is not available to walk-ins, but only with reservations. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Older park, but nice, away from freeway enought, so noise is not a problem, very nice people work here, will stay here again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park Sites are large and roomy, but except for a small pad you're in dirt. If it rains you're in mud. The Showers although clean have an unpleasant odor much like a combination of mold and pool chemicals. We had a bad 30-amp circuit breaker, which we had to keep resetting. This was reported to the park management and was told they would repair the breaker the following day. They never did. We had to purchase a 50-amp to 30-amp converter to have uninterrupted electricity. Most of the hot tub jets were either broken or not working. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
As stated by other reviewers the park is readily accessible from I-40 and capable of handling any big rig. The management is trying to keep the grass green but having problems due to the drought in this area. The Wifi is weak and hard to access. This is a nice park for an overnight or couple of day visit. They honor Passport America but only with cash or check payment. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Right off the interstate so easy to get to without a lot of road noise. My rate was $26 with Good Sam. Large park with trees, but no shade for the rv itself, and today was hot and windy. The grassy areas lacked watering and were dry. A dog walk area which is adequate but they don't want dogs walked around the park other than the dog area so it is limiting. This is just a big park that has what you need for overnight, but unless you need to be in Amarillo, nothing to recommend it for longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A really nice, clean, spacious RV park with wide, long spaces and all the amenities except wi-fi. You can get free wi-fi in the office, but it is slow, and, if you pay for wi-fi, you get a faster speed but it is $3.00 per day and the sign on procedure is ridiculous each time you use it. I would give it a 10 except for the wi-fi. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an easy park to get to. You can see it from I-40. The pull-thru site we were in was gravel but we also had a choice of a pull-thru on grass. The gravel was easy to level and the grass may have been a little more difficult. Some sites have picnic tables, but not all. Good hook-ups. The staff was friendly and helpful. The campground was clean and all the sites were neat. We were escorted to our site. There is nothing to separate you from the rig next to you. The sites are somewhat close, but there is plenty of room to put out slides and not right on top of your neighbor. There is a large indoor, heated pool which is open during office hours. The laundry room was clean. The machines were older, and the cost was $1.00 per washer and $1.00 per dryer. The restrooms were clean. The showers do not have a separate dressing area, but they do have a hook and a chair, and are wide enough to keep your clothes from getting wet. I did not use the shower however. Both the laundry and the restrooms have locked doors requiring a code to get in - or you can go in through the office. Good cable reception with many channels. There is a complimentary breakfast every morning. The office area is large with several tables, couches and TV. There is Internet access in the office. I chose to pay $3/day for the convenience of using it in the coach. It was a good connection. Passport America is honored for one night with a reservation. We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Another good park with nothing special except a sauna. Our site was a little narrow but we were here for only one night. Would stop here again if we were in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A fairly nice RV park. Good paved roads, sites are dirt/gravel and pretty level. Good cable tv. Park was quiet. Spaces are wide and they have nice pull through sites. Park is located on the East end of town, close to the intersection of Hwy. 40 and Hwy. 287. Access to the park is quite easy. Attendant will guide you to your site and explain all of their hookups. We stayed here 1 night in our 5th Wheel, would stay here again when traveling through the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice place to stop. Big sites, easy on/off I-40. Clean, level sites. Very nice hook-ups. WiFi free in office and if your are close to office, otherwise $$. Great overnight stop. PassPort America rate for one night. Reservations needed for Discounts. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the better Passport parks we have stayed in. We had a nice long level 50 amp spot. As mentioned before we took the limo to a local steakhouse for dinner. Staff was friendly and there seemed to be many amenities. We only stayed one night since we need to get home. But we would stay here again and see more of Amarillo. Grass and gravel sites. Grass was not looking great but this is dry part of Texas. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a large park. Some of the sites are laid out in an unusual manner. The site we stayed in were side by side using the same water post (two faucets on the same location), cable on a splitter from one source. Electric in the same box. I asked for a 30amp but was given the 50amp of the box that the person next to me was using. WiFi cost unless you go into the office. Large gift shop. People working here are nice and are work campers. I am a member also. They were not very familiar with some of the local facilities. It rained heavily the night we stayed. Had to level the trailer over 2”. The area is a tourist trap and they get a lot of business. If you stay here go over to the Flying J and have a good Chicken Fried Steak. I would stay here again if I came through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I agree with the other comments, no sense in repeating. The work camper staff are quite friendly and helpful. They only allow one Passport America night, we used Good Sam discount for subsequent nights. It should be noted that there was an "electric surcharge" of $2 or $3 per night (can't remember which) under the Passport America rate of $15. Not a real big deal. They should take the lead with other parks and provide free WiFi, instead of charging by the day. We would come back if passing through the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a very clean and convenient campground. Staff is friendly and helpful. Large, long pull throughs with conveniently located utilities. Limo service to the Big Texan Steakhouse was a plus. Great food there. Pool was clean and heated. Hot tub was covered over but management was quick to tell us know they would open it up if we wanted to use it. In spite of being very close to I-40 we didn't notice excessive noise. Easy in from the freeway, easy out. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It was good for an overnight stay, close to I-40. They placed us in an overnight parking site, nothing fancy, no grass and WiFi only works in store and costs. Staff was very helpful, even called the Big Texan for us to arrange a car to pick us up for dinner and then return. We would stay here again but only for overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed there this past July and found it very nice. Only stayed 1 night on my way to Gallup but would stay again if in the neighborhood. The space I had was very large and shaded. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good place for overnight. Large pull-through sites. Convenient to I-40. The morning coffee/donuts was too late for someone needing to get on the road by 8 AM or so. Convenient to the sights of the city and short trip to Palo Duro Canyon. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nothing fancy but right off I-40 and long pull-throughs. If you're looking for a place for the night this is perfect. There is even a shuttle to a local steak house. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean, well organized, with quick easy access from the interstate highway. It was a nice touch that they have free coffee and donuts between 8 and 9:30 am. We stayed here for just one night, and it was a nice place to stay while passing through Amarillo. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I agree with all of the prior reviews but I would add that the front pea gravel sites are where they put Pass Port America members. The better sites are for those paying the full rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great people that were quick to welcome you the Texas way. We had to hook up to a 30 amp because there were no more 50 amp spots available. There was no WiFi but a computer was available in the office for your use. The steak place down the road was awesome food with a fiddle pickin' group going around to your table accepting requests. We received half price with Passport. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Easy to get on and off the Interstate, yet we did not have any noise problems. They use a limo service to go to the Big Texan, a regionally known restaurant which is a "Must See" attraction if you are visiting the Amarillo area. Very friendly staff, free breakfast rolls and coffee, and clean campsites. Well worth the price. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It's hard to beat the price (Passport America rate) for a one night stay. We wanted an E'S in/out pull-thru long enough not to have to unhook our tow vehicle. We got all that convenience and more. Staff (Front Desk & Escort to site) were welcoming and friendly. WiFi was available for free if you used the Office facilities. I signed up with their Provider (The Wireless Web) right on line in my own Coach & they accepted a credit card for the $3/day fee. My Verizon Broadband Access was not available & went into ROAMING mode so I was glad to take what the RV Park had to offer since the signal was good. The property has the look of a former mobile home community and there are still some of those permanent residents adjacent. However, it also seems like the owners/Mgmt have plans to redesign certain areas and update them to accomodate Big Rig visitors. For the value alone, we would return for an overnight just to watch the Park's progress. It could be one of the better places to stay and we wouldn't mind recommending them if they continue to offer generous discounts to those just passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate shown is a Camp Club 50% discount. Nice park, easy in and out. Just off I-40. Some road noise, but not bad. Didn't notice any airport noise. Other reviews commented on the feed lot smell. Well, that's Amarillo and whole town gets covered by the odor if the wind is out of the East. I would have given them a 10, but the Wi-Fi isn't free. We'll stay here again for sure if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My wife and I stopped for one night in February and liked it so much we stayed two weeks. We then went on with our journey and came back to this park and stayed for another 6 days. We had some problems with our motorhome on our first stay and the owner/manager went out of his way to help us not only find the parts but also helped us repair our motorhome. The sites were very clean, large and the staff was super friendly. Even though I-40 is close by and convenient, the noise was not that bad as described. As for the airplane noise, there is a SAC base near by and once in a while during the day a plane would fly over. As for the issue of the odor from the feed lots, when you're in cattle country, you should expect what comes with it when the wind blows in the right direction. Yes, we will return to this RV park any time we are in the neighborhood even if we have to travel out of our way to get there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is nothing but a big dirt and gravel pit. There are a few shrubs that they call trees but not enough to provide any shade. The staff is friendly enough but the owner is a crotchety old man who is anything but customer friendly. They claim to be away from the airport but we had numerous planes overhead landing at the local airport. The rail yard must be close by was we had trains blowing their horn all day and night. The park in right next to busy I-40 with trucks and traffic roaring by all day and night. When the wind is blowing, which is almost all of the time the place smells like a barn yard or feed lot. Some of the lots are large but covered in pea gravel that makes footing unsure and hazardous. We would not recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
$15 rate reflects Passport America. Normal rate is $25. PP America rate only good for one night. A nice place, convenient to I-40 as well as downtown Amarillo. Friendly staff. Wifi is pay ($3/day), but they have a free computer in the rec room as well as several lines to hook up one's own computer to wifi. Sites were gravel, but well-graded and the jacks didn't sink into the gravel. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very roomy pull through sites. Plenty of extra room. Exceptionally nice indoor pool and jacuzzi. All employees very friendly. Free morning donuts. Manager went above and beyond to help diagnose the cause of our battery problem, which could have been very expensive but instead cost nothing for the simple fix. We stayed a couple extra days and would definitely return. An exceptional value. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Friendly staff. Big sites with lots of room to maneuver the big rig. Clean park with nice pool and spa. Internet free in office and fast dependable wifi on site for $3 a day. We stayed here four days in July and were very satisfied. Plan to stay again. I would bring drinking water next time. Amarillo city water was not to my liking. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Texas sized sites are easy to get into. Staff is very friendly. WiFi is extra cost. Restrooms are not fancy but clean and well kept. Free limo available to nearby Big Texan Steak House. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed in this campground on 6/3 & 4. The campsites were close but reasonable. Most campsites had trees and grass along with a picnic table. The facilities were clean and in good repair. They charge for WiFi but have free WiFi available in the office. There was road noise but in our opinion it was acceptable. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would stay here again. We camped in a 34' motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.
10% discount with Good Sam or AAA. This was a good overnight place as you can pull in with your toad, leave it attached and pull right back out in the morning. Limo from Big Texan will come get you and all the truck stops are in the area, so fuel / truck wash / services are all close. Nice folks there too. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Visited park in 40' motorhome for overnight stay. Have used park many times over last five years. During that period have not seen any improvements. The usual overnight area has lots of gravel, but the site we were placed in needed more gravel as mud was present from recent rains. The site did not have a table. The pool was great after a long day of driving. We would ask to be placed in overnight area or go to another campground in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice clean park. Friendly staff,good security. good big rig sites on row p-1-5. Wide paved roads w/ mainly new level gravel sites. Good hook-ups. As for restauraunts skip Big Texan. Tourist Trap! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really liked this campground. The staff was super friendly, and the campground was immaculate. Bathrooms and showers were spotless. The staff suggested a superb buffet restaurant in town called the Longhorn. We will stay at this campground again if we're passing through Amarillo in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We used this park as first night and last night on a three week excursion. Excellent, because pull through sites are level so we did not have to unhook. Loved the limo to the Big Texan, could have a cocktail after the long day, and not have to worry about cooking or driving to dinner. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very big rig friendly campground that has paved roads and well-gravelled sites. Excellent for one nighter or for longer period. Famous Big Texan Steakhouse nearby, with free rides to and from steakhouse. A good place! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place for an overnight stop. The kids really enjoyed the indoor heated pool. The hot tub was down for maintenance. Easy access on and off I-40. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very clean park for overnight stay. Easy in/out for "Big Rigs." Trees not a problem. Modern hook-ups on gravel sites for "Big Rigs". Very friendly staff. Somewhat noisy because it is adjacent to I-40, but OK. Limo will pick you up free and take you to the "Big Texan" steakhouse! We stayed in Oct. of '04 with 42' motor home and towed car. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stopped for an overnight stay. They put their overnighters together in one area. The sites are smaller than their extended stay sites. Site was a pull-thru, gravel and wide enough for any number of slideouts. Hookups were well placed and modern. Sites did not have a table or trees. Park is very clean. All roads are paved. Indoor pool was very nice. The park personnel are friendly and helpful. Will stay at this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campground under new management. Very clean.Large pullthru gravel sites. All hookups. No picnic table. Park is 1/2 block north of I-40 and quiet. Very complete cable tv. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Free internet access in clubhouse. We camped here in a camper.
This is a perfectly nice parking lot-type campground, close to the interstate. The Wi-Fi no longer works (canceled contract). The bathrooms are spotless and modern. There is a lot of road noise, but it's fine for a night. It's right by the Cadillac Ranch. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is for a quick pull-off from the freeway, just to spend a night. Park Roads are bad and permanent campers are not that tidy. Park could use a good clean-up. Freeway noise is loud. Park is pet friendly but no place to walk pet. WiFi was good. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Small park. No frills. Inexpensive. Park on gravel. Friendly staff. Close to town. Great for 1-4 nights. It's not a "destination" park, but I would stay there again if I were passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pull-thrus are 16'x60'. Great for a one night stop, especially if you have a long rig as we do, (54'). The new Gander Mountain store is also at this exit. (I-40 and Hope Road, Exit 72 or 70, on south service road) Next door to Sundown which is also reviewed on this list. We have stayed at both, but most of the Sundown sites are only 50'. TL rating in 2000 was "park: 4. 5, Restroom: 5. 5, scenic: 5" Phone 806-352-8567. Open all rear. It appears that the 2000 Trailer Life was the last year that this CG and Sundown were listed. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
They are really cleaning this rundown park up. Its easy off and easy on I-40. There is a few year round folks here. The airport is close but didn't bother us. Good over nighter and I believe it will be pretty good for visiting local stuff soon. We camped here in a Motorhome.
$11 is Passport America rate. $1 additional if you want to use ac or electric heat. Electric connections are shared between sites, 30amp only, and in poor condition with badly burned sockets. Some outlets do not provide reliable power. The first I tried/tested had only 85 volts available. This would cause terminal damage to RV electronics! Do NOT go here without over/under voltage protection. There are no restrooms and no showers. It's a self check-in procedure with no campground map around. This place is OK for an overnight, but not much more. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Passport America rate. Basic stopping place, no frills, restrooms or showers. I had to change spots to get working electricity. Check-in is on the honor system, and I have seen no management around the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
That's a Passport-America rate. Campground is a good place to stop for an overnight due to it's proximity to I-40. Be aware that if you're driving west, you turn right when you get off the interstate. Our GPS told us to turn right (and the directions from the website) told us to turn left and we ended up at an "exotic club". Absolutely nothing fancy about this campground. Full hookups and that's it. Also located under the flight path for the Amarillo International Airport which is sort of interesting the first time a big 4-engine jet flies over your RV! No flights after around 10:00 though. Propane and convenience store across the road. There are permanent sites but residents are friendly. Inexpensive place to use as base camp to visit Amarillo, Lake Meredith, or Palo Duro Canyon. We wouldn't hesitate to stop here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
As all other reports state, no rest rooms or showers. And the entrance looks pretty seedy, but for big rigs, the pull through sites are at least 80 ft long. The site is basic and level with easy entrance and exit. The rate shown is a Passport rate, otherwise it was $22.00. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Definitely just a place to stop overnight & pull out early the next morning. No amenities at all but the price is right. Easy access off and on I-40. Airport nearby but no planes in or out after 9 p.m. so not a problem. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very very basic pull in for the night & pull out in the morning type place. No facilities at all except a convenience store across the road for coffee or ice. Airport nearby but last plane goes over about 9 p.m. Very convenient to I-40. As earlier review stated, the park is nothing to look at & the permanents that are there are pretty rundown but are no problem to overnight visitors. $10 rate is for Passport America, 50% discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very basic park offering exactly what is advertised: "specializing in overnight sites for the weary I-40 cross-country traveler". Entry to campground looks very run-down and there's an old pool no longer in use with weeds growing in it. Registration and payment are self-serve; campground is clean, and sites are level. It is fine for people like us who just want a reasonably-priced, convenient place to park for a night or a few nights. It is close to the airport, and planes do fly over on the approach; however, the airport is not very busy. Very convenient to I-40 and very little road noise from it. There are no restrooms, laundry or showers available. Overall, for $10 (the Passport America rate) this park is fine--just don't expect more than the bare basics. The main reason we rated it a "3" is because of the run-down entry appearance. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice meeting rooms and quality facilities in excellent condition. Owners were on site providing quality service. Great accommodations for rallies. Large gift shop, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Traffic routing to campsites was good and it had quality site layout. Will stay again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed overnight here 5 years ago and would give the park a 9. This time we were disappointed in the condition. It needs a little TLC. The gravel roads and sites need to be resurfaced. It was raining when we got there. We and the dog had to fight muddy patches throughout the park. The park is very convenient and we will continue to return for overnight stays. If the park is re-graveled we would rate a 9. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here on the way home from Colorado. It was a very clean and neat campground. The staff was very friendly. The location was very easy to find, and we were able to travel on the loop and not get on the busy interstate. We plan to return to the park when we are passing through Amarillo again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is clean. The showers are clean. There is a nice game room. The hot tub was not working (when we were here). They have a nice gift shop: it is a little expensive but neat to look around. Located on the west side of town, close to all the eating places and the mall. It's a better place for pets than some other places I have been, but could be better. We stay here off and on because of the location and indoor pool. You are charged for children. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We arrived late, the office was already closed but the owner came by and checked us in. Can’t beat that for service. Internet worked well and is a secured system. There’s not a lot of room between spaces: each space has a little fence on each side to separate them and most have a concrete pad and picnic table. The restrooms and showers were clean and well lighted. There was an indoor pool, hot tub and a game room that would serve as a storm shelter should push come to shove on the Texas plains. There is a big gift shop in front of the campground with collectibles and gift items. The camp decor is great with a lot of eye candy. We enjoyed our stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We arrived at 6:30pm and the office was already closed, so we had to check in and just leave a check in the slot on the door. I wanted to use the internet and there were no instructions left after closing, but I left a voicemail at the 1-800 number and a man called me back quickly and left the password and login information. We met several permanent residents at the pool, and they seemed very friendly. There is not a LOT of room in between spaces - each space has a little fence on each side of it to separate them, and most of the spaces have a concrete pad and picnic table on it.

There is a BIG gift shop in front of the campground with a lot of collectibles and gift items. We enjoyed our stay very much. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly, large pull through sites. Restrooms/ showers were the best we have seen in all of our camping experiences. Indoor pool, hot tub and game room was above our expectations. Our stay was very enjoyable we stayed a total five nights with no complaints. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We spent a night here on our way to Albuquerque. The location was good because the west side of town is where all the "chain" restaurants, big mall, and etcetera are located. While I thought the campground was good overall, it highlighted issues in advertising and ratings in the RV guides (i.e. Trailer Life). For example, their ad states "Big Rigs Love Our Sites!" Well, I only have a 38 ft motor home, but (especially with the pick-ups parked in specific locations) found it tight to get in (if I wanted to avoid the low overhang) and make some turns. So, while big rigs can fit, I'm not sure that I would claim that they "love" the park. Also, Trailer Life gave the restrooms a 10*. While they were well-equipped and clean, age has taken its toll and it was the first RV park restroom I've every been in that did not provide some sort of privacy for dressing or undressing to get in or out of the shower. I would never give this type of setup a 10. I only used the wi-fi for a short time, but it worked well for that short period. We would stay here again. My wife also loved the gift shop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is yet another older RV park. We would not classify it as a 'resort'. Spaces were rather tight for a big rig, although lengthy enough for the rig and the tow. There is a great little gift shop. There are too many permanent residents for us to want to stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Tight quarters for maneuvering a big rig. Stay right at the entrance to bypass low overhang. If heading east on I-40 there are no signs to lead you back to interstate. Friendly hosts. Lots of lights in the park at night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very good overnight, friendly staff and clean CG. Unbelievable gift store, I am not sure how they could sell enough to break even, it is incredible how much stuff is in there. Also the owner must love signs as there are signs everywhere in the CG. Specifically about dogs and where they are not allowed. Lovely center garden with water features although it is all fenced in and does not encourage you to walk in and enjoy. Also all the sites have picket fences separating each sites, although wide enough for our 4 slides, but still strange. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A so-so park--from the other people who had rated the park, we chose this one in Amarillo for a one night stay...it is not as fabulous as others have described...the roadways are rough..no one in the office on Sunday eve..the Wi-Fi worked good only after you dialed a number and ask for the password and ID...anyway not a bad park, but I would not go out of my way to stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for a night. I could not help myself and went up into the turrets on the corners! Tennis courts, pond, fountain, walks in the center (no pets). Slots are narrow (but room for slides), with picnic table and some patios. There are separation fences. If you have time stick your head in the store. I imagine that this is a good park for kids. Good park but check out cautions below. Wildlife: Check out the ground hog action next door (abandoned factory just to the east). Worth a look just to see the action. Caution 1 – Web lovers – Recommend do not use the Web form but call for reservations. Caution 2 – GPS users - Call for directions – Address maps to several wrong locations in town. True location is out west of town past Loop 335 (Exit 64 on I40) and actually on old root 66! Caution 3 – Tow vehicles / low clearance - there is a deceptive entrance and clearly folks scrape tow hitches etc. Come in slow and at an angle. Caution 4– Tall Rigs - Registration has a 13 foot rain port. Drive to the right and you can bypass. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice and well kept park. Nice grassy park-like area in center with fountain, "stream", and sitting areas. Tennis court, putting green, etc. Really nice gift shop (but that may cost you more than the site!) Sites are close together but each is divided by a short fence. Not much in the way of shade. Reasonable price of under $30 with senior discount. Easy access to I-40. BUT, some may be bothered by continuous I-40 noise a couple hundred yards behind park. However, it is far enough away to be not too bothersome. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A really neat campgrounds with plenty of activities for the family. Indoor pool and hot tub along with large modern game room all in one building. Beautiful craft store on site for spouse and within walking distance to Gander Mountain. Grounds include a stocked fishing pond and beautiful water stream throughout the park. Sites are large and divided be a small privacy fence about waist high. Staff gave extra attention to detail to include their GPS coordinates in confirmation email knowing the GPS address was incorrect. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Overall very good, sites were level and adequately wide. Friendly staff and nice store on the grounds. Prior comments were negative to available dog walking, however, there were nice grassy areas at the front of the park and along the adjoining road, the roads are gravel so walking to the grass does require walking over those. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park with level, hard gravel sites. Nice pet walk pens and plenty of grass for pets to do their business. Nice laundry with large washers and only a dollar to wash and a dollar to dry. Very nice pool. Good park lighting. Leave an empty Liquid Propane (LP) bottle out and they will refill it and return it to your site. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great hospitality. Although the campsite was limited, the facilities were superior. They have private showers which was very nice. If you have dogs, there is not much to do. There's a park 3 miles away if you're up for a drive, but the park itself has limited exercise area for bigger dogs. If you have a small dog, you'll be fine as they have small dog runs. We stayed a couple of nights and had pizza delivered to our RV. This was a nice accommodation after a long day of driving. These folks don't work on Sunday, so if this bothers you, you might want to think twice about staying here. It didn't bother us! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We loved this park, and were so impressed with the creativity in design of the sites and amenities. The pull-through sites were angled perfectly, and separated from one another by a board fence and small garden for each site. Laundry was inexpensive, clean, and convenient, bathrooms sparkling clean, indoor swimming pool was sparkling clean. Workout room was equipped with 2 treadmills, bike, weight machine, and free weights. Hot tub was being moved to a spot in the pool building while we were there. There is a whole new rec building with a generous basement game room which doubles as storm shelter. Family owned & operated, with a great deal of pride. Convenient to Amarillo new and old. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There were lots of activities to do on at the Fort Amarillo RV Resort. The kids especially enjoyed the stocked catch and release fishing pond. They have an indoor swimming pool and a few arcade games. A very nice store and gift shop. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The sites were small and gravel but level. Most were pull throughs with some back-ins. There were fences that divided the sites and there was a small cement patio and with a little grass. Landscaping around the center of the park was very nice. We would have given a better rating, but it is not a very pet friendly park. There are some dog runs, but they are dirt and that is the only place they want you to take them to walk. There are "no dogs allowed" signs everywhere. We would definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed 3 nights and were very pleased. The fishing pond was great entertainment for the kids. The staff was very friendly and the store was amazing. The only down side was the limited grassy areas for dogs. Great location to restaurants and shopping. We will definitely stop here again if in Amarillo. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Just a touch-up for 2008. (Rate was with a Good Sam discount.) I rate this park as a 10, something I’ve done only once a year since we started traveling in 2003. I agree with all of the previous positive remarks and none of the negative ones (the sites are plenty wide enough for 3 slides and an awning, and if you don’t like desert dust then don't visit a desert). However, I see in the reviews no mention of the new building at the north east corner of the park. It houses a large indoor pool – heated to 85 degrees – a soon-to-be installed spa and showers/restrooms that are so sparkling that I initially thought that the floors were wet from a recent cleaning. When you enter one of the six restrooms you get your own shower, vanity and toilet: just like home. Our original plan was to stay for two nights, but this place is so nice we twice extended for another night. The caring and helpful owners are changing the motif from grassland to rockscape with various cacti, which to me seems totally right. Not sure we’ll ever be back in this area, but if we are, we’ll sure as heck go out of our way to stay at Fort Amarillo. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park to spend the weekend in Amarillo, close to great shopping and good food. The gift shop is something to see and it keeps the wife busy while I get the rig settled in. Nice pet area, 4 stalls that are lit. Easy entrance and exit. The lots are separated by a little wooden fence and have concrete porches, gravel and some need a little leveling after the rains. Decent cable tv and wifi can be slow at peak hours. Stayed here 3 times and will stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice camp, but narrow spaces. It seems dusty to an Easterner, but it's sort of in the desert, so it's to be expected. Very convenient to stores and restaurants, right on 66 and very close to I-44 and I-27. The store and indoor pool alone are worth a visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Had a group of 14 RV's staying at this park. Very clean and quiet. Had a Texas BBQ provided by the owners for $8.50 per person with live entertainment. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park. We stayed a week & very much enjoyed the indoor pool & fitness center. Most sites are gravel pull thrus with a small privacy fence between sites. WiFi, CATV, Phone included. The park is designed like an old western fort complete with lookout towers at the 4 corners and is well landscaped & maintained. They have 4 dog pens about 40 x 12 where you can exercise your dog off leash. They also have an exceptional gift shop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park. Privacy fences on each side of site with table and some grass, nice touch being in the desert. Modern convenient hook-ups with easy in/out. Good areas for dogs. Great store in front. Watch overhang at entrance - 13' max. This is our second stay here and would come back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice RV Park whether you are staying for an overnight stop or for a few days. The folks that run this park are very nice. My youngest son had his 9th birthday during our stay, and he decided he wanted to have his b-day party here instead of at Gaddie's Pizza Parlor. The owners had no problem with this (since it was only us, Grandma and Grandpa and his Unlce and Aunt) and and even gave my son a "magic show" under our awning. I would HIGHLY recommend if you are coming thru Amarillo, and need a place to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had a tough time deciding between this park and Amarillo Ranch and are we glad we chose Fort Amarillo. It was easy to get to and quiet even though you could see I-40. We had a long pull through with a cement patio. We used the indoor pool and enjoyed that a lot. Their gift shop is superb! Worth the stop for just that, but we did enjoy all of the other amenities. We highly recommend this park for a visit to Amarillo. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was another overnight stop, made on our way home. This place was crowded, but offered much more amenities than we required. Our site had a small tree and picnic table. We showered in the big shower/restaurant facility. It was very nice. We didn't use the pool or hot tub (again, it was late), but they did have a lot of very nice amenities. We did eat at the free continental breakfast the next morning. They had a first-rate store on site. Restaurants and gas were close by. It was just off the freeway (without seeming near the freeway), which was what we needed that night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed here for 7 nights since we were taking our daughter to college in the area. It was a very clean "RV" park. The people were very friendly and when we had trouble with our new RV, they really tried to help in any way they could. This sites are mostly pull-through and plenty long. It isn't a "campground" but a "RV park". The one thing that I didn't like was the internet. My husband and daughter could get on fine but I couldn't. I could get a connection but couldn't sign on and when I did, it would boot me off. The campground owners told me that it happens sometime and gave me a number of their provider to call. After two phone calls to them, they finally told me it was my computer. WRONG. Since I would take it out of the campground to a cafe and have NO problems what so ever. And have now moved on to other campground and didn't have a problem. Internet was VERY important to me since I was still working. Maybe they need to upgrade to wireless "G" instead of the old fashion wireless "B". I have read some of the other reviews and I am not the first person to have this problem. So if internet is a priority, don't take your chances by staying here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
After reading many comments on Amarillo campground we chose this one. We must be crazy since we did not agree with most of the high rated comments. The park is friendly and clean and the little oasis in the middle is well maintained. But the campground is mostly dirt and gravel with small strips of grass. They have slated wood fences that separate the sites making one feel closed in. The highway noise is evident. If you have a pet like us, everywhere you turn it says, no dogs. We will not return to this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Terrific place for the family. Great indoor pool and superb showers and bathrooms. The store is amazing as well. A first class operation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park, not new but being renewed. Attention to landscaping detail is wonderful and the park is owner operated. They know their stuff! The gift shop is a shoppers dream and would and does stand alone without the campground. We will stay there again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The RV park is all gravel and there was a great deal of standing water at our site when we arrived. We couldn't even find the sewer hook-up. The park was quiet throughout the night. The staff was fabulous!! We got lost upon arrival and one of the ladies "talked us in" to the RV park. The store is unbelievable!! Great selection on souvenirs, etc. It was great for an overnight stay, even though it was wet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
How good can it get? Wonderful place: were escorted to our site and they drew us maps for the restaurants we discussed. We'll be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a great RV park. It is made up to look like an old west town; there is even a catch and release fishing pond. Each space has it's own little stretch of grass with picnic table. This is a great place for couples, families, and folks with pets. The showers are basic, but clean. Watch out for the store though! It has all the cute things that wives like to buy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy access off I-40, but that also means there is a lot of highway noise. Clean park with wide gravel driveways and many pull-thrus. The bathrooms are clean, but there are no private dressing areas once you get out of the shower. Kitschy western theme with an impressive gift shop. Good place for an overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice, with gravel driveways, and the longest pull thrus I have seen: I did not have to unhook my H2 from my 45' motorhome. Lovely family in office, and charming store. Great spot to stay going East or West on I-40. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Entrance to campground good with large area to park to register at office. Very friendly and efficient office staff. Access roads around campground wide and well maintained. All sites are gravel with concrete patio some (the older sites near office) have grass and flower beds as well. Good infrastructure including a lovely garden area with catch and release pond, trees and a waterfall. Four good dog walk areas. Although not far from the I-40, road noise was minimum. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great place to hang your hat on the way from here to there – you may even want to stay a day or two. This is a large, well-designed park with the most delightful “office/registration desk” I’ve ever seen. It is nestled in a huge, two-story, RV gift & curio store – the décor is warm and woodsy complete with an inside waterfall! They have an amazing assortment of gifts, clothing, candles, toys & western goodies – it can literally take hours to prowl through all the treasures on both floors. (speaking from personal experience). The majority of the gravel sites are pull-through and separated by privacy fences. We had ample room for our 37.5’ 5th wheel & 1-ton dually parked end-to-end. Sites have picnic tables, instant-on telephone connection, free wi-fi (good signal) and 14-channel cable TV. The park offers free continental breakfast on the weekends in their hospitality room. The sites surround an elaborate, wonderfully landscaped park with paths, footbridges, a rock fountain, benches and a catch and release fishing pond. We’ve been here twice – once for a week-long stay and once for an overnight, you can rest assured we’ll be back. We highly recommend this park both for its amenities and its casual, friendly ambiance. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a unique RV park in terms of amenities - the "catch and release" fishing pond is cute, and the landscaping of the center of the park is a very nice touch. We got in after the office was closed. Even though we made online reservations late Friday night, they are closed on Saturdays and never got it, so we arrived and picked a spot. Even though I read a previous review on this site about the new router in the east side of the park, I forgot about it. My bad, as they say. We couldn't get wifi in our site (#21) and had to stand outside or go sit in the commons area to get it. When we did, it (the west side router) was very slow. Might stay again, not sure. We're working, not vacationing, so wi-fi is very important to us. That's the only reason I didn't give this park a 10. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground was a nice two night stop for us as we wanted to visit Amarillo and Palo Duro Canyon. Park is clean and they have down a lot of landscaping. Sites close to the office are the most developed as we were place farther away (due to business) and site was just a large graveled pull through with no picnic table, grass or slab. Would have preferred a site with the patio or grass pads, however, we did not make a reservation. It looks like the owners, who were very nice and helpful, are continuing to develop park. Laundry was clean, cable TV was basic but good picture, and WIFI was excellent. Owner told me he had place a second router in the east side of the park and it was as fast as being at home. We enjoyed our visit to Amarillo and this park. One final thing, don't hesitate to call the Big Texan for limo service to their restaurant. One reviewer called it a tourist trap and it certainly is - we were tourists and had a delightful evening. They gave excellent service - picked us up at the time we requested. Had a 30 minute wait for a table (not bad on Saturday night) and a good and reasonably priced meal. Also got to watch 2 young men try to eat the 72 ounce steak. Upon leaving the restaurant, they had four limos waiting to take guests home. Both drivers, to and from, were friendly and informative. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The owners were very friendly. Spotless indoor pool and hot tub. A nice game/rec room, good-sized pull-thru sites, each with a privacy fence. The grounds are kept spotless and feature extensive landscaping. The Wi-Fi service was outstanding and comes at no additional charge. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great over night stop. No highway noise. Owner's are friendly. We stayed here in Aug. 2004. We will stay here the next time we go through Amarillo. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park was beautiful and staff was very friendly. They had a little man made stream running through the park. Sites were nice and wide. Wireless service was excellent. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found this park to be quite nice. Each pull-through site has some grass (unique in this part of the country), a tree, small privicy fence, and convenient hook-ups. The park is fairly new (3 years), and has a "ranch" theme. Friendly staff and very clean, well maintained. Graveled interior, but not much dust. Pretty wide spaces. Space was level, we didn't need leveling blocks. Would definitely come here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice overnight stop. Road noise minimal. Nice facility. Would rate higher except for lots of pot holes in interior roads and the material that is used for the sites (some type local rock-dirt) is very messy when wet. Sewer hookup in hard to get to spot. Would use again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The owners & staff are extremely nice, friendly & helpful. A short privacy fences is between the sites. Updating is constantly being done as we had stayed her 6 weeks earlier. The young trees will eventually provide shade at each site. At this oasis in the middle of the Texas panhandle, a continental breakfast is served Thursday, Friday & Saturday mornings. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a new RV park and shows a lot of promise. The sites are gravel and level, but that's about it. We were in the new area so the only thing at the site was a patch of sod. The older sites had a picnic table. We were too far away to receive the wifi signal. They are building a pool, but it wasn't done when we were there. They did a nice job on the landscaping around the common areas and the play area for the kids was big. There was a huge store that sold souvenirs, but no RV supplies or food. Again, this park shows a lot of promise, but it may take awhile to get there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The sites here are adequate sized and easy to get in and out. The management is friendly and they try to keep the place clean. Its a good place for an overnight stop and if I had business in Amarillo I'd stay longer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an OK place to stay although I wouldn't call it a resort. It presents as being a little rough around the edges. Interior roads and sites are gravel on hard dirt. There are lots of puddles after a rain and everything gets a little dirty. Each of the pull-through sites in the area we were in were very long and each had a side yard with grass. Some also had a concrete patio and all sites were separated by a clapboard-type fence. There is no landscaping around the sites. The common areas in the middle are reminiscent of an old west town and if you think of the whole place along those lines, it works well enough. They do offer some nice amenities like complimentary breakfast, on-site phones and free WIFI. Access from I-40 is convenient and there is no road noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Gravel and paved sites/roads, kids attractions, on Rt 66, nice Texas stuff store, easy to
get in/out We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Clean park with uniform sites and FULL hookups. Fancy country gift store. No trees, but
that's Amarillo! We were actually 5 miles from a tornado and had hail damage to our motorhome, but the owners were incredibly helpful through and after the
whole thing. Shuttle from Big Texan can come pick you up! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great stop over park when traveling Interstate 40. We stopped for one night and ended up
staying for two. While I-40 is close by it is not bothersome. Easy access sites and very friendly accomadating staff. I will visit here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy on/off I-40 @ Soncy, on the west side of Amarillo. Not too much interstate road noise. Large, privacy fenced gravel sites, some with concrete patios, others with grass which is nice for your pet. Pet walk area with pick-up bags provided. Well stocked gift shop. The nicest park in the Texas panhandle. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a new park which recently opened. It is on the west side of Amarillo just off the interstate. The trees are new so there is no shade yet. We stayed for a couple of days and the place was quiet and restful. The owners are very nice and the place is very well kept and very clean. There is a free coffee and cereal and doughnut breakfast in the morning. It has a nice gift shop up front. The sites are level and very large with plenty of room to pull around. I believe they had cable but was not positive so I did not check it above. I would stay here again when passing through
Amarillo. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites are level, the park very clean, it's easy to get into and out of the park and sites with a 38-foot motorhome and toad. We have stayed in Amarillo before and this park out shines the rest. The trees are all small and were dormant, but it was winter and the park is new. They have two prices $25 for over 25 feet and $20 under 25 feet. They have a value card you can sign up for, which gives you a 20% discount. We did not learn about it until the morning we were leaving when we purchased propane so could only use the discount on the propane and not the prior night's stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed here before and like this park. However, the downgrade is because they claim to be Campclub and Passport America campgrounds, but in my opinion are not following the pricing policies of these "clubs". We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a wonderful clean resort with large, level concrete pads and asphalt drives. The laundry is free and the restrooms were clean. The pool and spa looked nice but the weather was too cold to swim. There is a restaurant on site that serves a limited menu and alcohol. The food was very good. RV service, wash, and carpet cleaning are available on site. Even though the park is just off I-40 the highway noise was not a problem. The rate shown reflects the standard $25 per night rate with the third night free. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We returned to this park after a pleasant stay a few months ago. Unfortunately, this stay was a disaster. There was snow during our stay and we were appalled that the park had no snow removal equipment or contract for removal. Many long term residents paid one of the other residents to clear their way to work, etc with a little bobcat. We did not realize that individuals were making their own arrangements for clearing and inquired at the office regarding when our drive would be cleared. We were met with shrugged shoulders and were advised that the owner said that the snow would melt soon. When we finally got the 'scoop' about the private arrangements, we paid $20 for the resident with the bobcat to clear the drive for us. After making a firm complaint with the office, the owner called and agreed to refund the $20. We all took turns with our small snow shovel to further clear the turns that still blocked our way out of the park. Like one other review, we needed a propane refill and were told to return the next day. We found the office to be closed and no recourse to locate anyone to fill the tank. Fortunately, we were still using our alternate tank, so we didn't run out before the second day when someone was available to fill our empty one. Amarillo's climate is one that demands preparation and we consider this park's lack thereof to be irresponsible. We left a day earlier than planned and will not likely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
What more can I say about this wonderful park. This is my second visit and I will drive miles out of my way to stay here again. This is one of the few parks where the term RESORT really applies. When you come into the park, the first thing you will notice is the cleanliness. All interior roads are paved blacktop. All RV pads are level concrete and there is an additional concrete pad for your patio. All sites have full electric, sewer, cable and free WI-FI. The landscaping is typical western desert meaning gravel with sagebrush tastefully planted. I can't really call these amenities but at this park you can: wash your own rig or have then do it for you, schedule their tech to do routine maintenance or necessary repairs at your site or at their on-site repair center, have your rigs carpets cleaned. There are laundry facilities at each restroom area and they are FREE. The park is serving breakfast and dinner every day at the clubhouse and you are invited to watch a movie at the clubhouse or relax in the pool and spa. There are no permanent residents altho it is not unusual for guests to stay a month or so. The staff will do everything possible to make your stay pleasant. This park is located far enough off of I-40 that road noise is not a problem. Surprisingly enough, for a western park, there are no nearby trains or airports, to disturb your slumber. This park is a few miles west of Amarillo proper but along I-40, that is still only a few minute drive, even during what passes for rush hour (Amarillo is not a Dallas or Houston). I don't normally give any place a ten but I just could not find anything that I would want to do to improve this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The Oasis RV Resort is very convenient to I-40 without being right on it. After exiting the interstate on Arnot Rd (Exit 60), turn to the south, go past the Love's, and the Resort will be a few hundred feet down the road on the left. The Resort has a solid wall around it blocking the yellow lights so if you arrive after dark (as we did) at first it looks like there is nothing down this dark road but it's there! Check-in was easy with their friendly staff. Our site was indeed level and the private bath/showers were clean and well heated. There is a lot of pavement and no trees so I imagine that the Resort could be hot and crowded in the summer but it was fine for our winter stopover. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Very nice facilities but all the work campers were lazy. They would NOT fill my propane tanks. I spent two VERY cold nights there and won't be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very pet friendly! Don't charge for children. Free laundry is wonderful. Price is GREAT. This is the second time we have stayed there and will go back as long as they keep it clean and the price reasonable. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Immaculately maintained, well-designed, large RV Park and a HUGE bargain at $15/nite PPA rate. Not especially scenic, but spotless and crisp. Friendly, helpful staff. FREE laundry. Internet worked fine for us, even streaming video. DEFINITELY would stay here again and look for other parks in chain if they're anywhere near as good. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Neat and clean grounds, fully paved throughout. All sites are pull-throughs. The Wi-Fi was a bit slow at times. Free laundry in clean machines and immaculate laundry rooms. Not so great e-mail communication prior to arrival and very low management presence on site but a great value at $15 a day with weekend days free. $75 a week. What's to complain about? We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

One of the best parks that you will find. Staff is able and accommodating. Concrete pads and patio. Far enough from I-40 so that noise is not a problem. Free Wi-Fi worked well, although slow at times. They were offering 2 nights with the 3rd night free at $20/night. Great rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wow: what a deal! A beautiful, clean park with tiled private bathrooms, showers and large paved sites. There's a nice rec room and very attentive staff. Good Wi-Fi from several locations. My "10" rating is due to the price and great value. Very near lots of shopping malls and more. We'll be staying here again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Newer, full service park just outside of Amarillo. Rates are incredible, $17 per night & pay for 2 nights & get the 3rd night free. Also no charge for laundry. Wi-Fi is poor but they are in the process of upgrading their system. Too bad that the kitchen is being renovated as would have like to try their BBQ. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Everything is perfect about this campground. Owners are nice and it is very well laid out. They even have evening meal available if you are so inclined. Nice sites, excellent road system. Only thing that was a problem for us was the wind and as has been said before, they cannot control that. It was blowing so hard one night that it woke us up at 3 AM. If I was planning to stay again, I would definitely check the weather and winds ahead of time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A Great park that is very well maintained. The park has free laundry, Wi-Fi, cable, and allows you to wash your vehicles. All roads are paved and you park on a level concrete pad. The only draw back is the wind, but the park can't control that. The park is only about three miles from Amarillo so shopping is near. We had no problems with freeway noise even though park is located about 1/4 mile from I-40. We would recommend this park and we will use it again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The owners of this park have worked hard to create a great environment. We liked the individual washrooms, free laundry, rig washing service ($50 for a very thorough wash), huge pull throughs, and good expanse of lawn area for dog walking. We didn't like the lack of decent Wi-Fi connection or that the advertised book library/exchange was closed. It's annoying when a website shows an amenity or facility that is not available because its the low season, which is what we were told. However, this is the best site we have found in Amarillo and we'll be returning here again next time we need an I-40 stop over. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great park for big rigs at a very reasonable price. This park allows you to wash your rig at no additional cost. If you have pets let them know so they can assign you a site close to the grassy area or you'll be walking. We had strong West Texas winds from the South. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the most perfect campground I have run across during my 6 years on the road. Our stay was a week thus 11 dollars a night. Many different bathrooms thru out the CG also Wi-Fi extenders. Wi-Fi was great but cable is a little limited. Would stay here anytime and would come back anytime traveling thru Amarillo. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Extremely well thought out Big Rig RV Park. We stayed here in our 45' motorhome and had plenty of elbow room. Easy on and off from I-40, but no road nose. Lots of sites and mostly pull throughs. They also offer for a very reasonable rate breakfast or dinner. Very clean and well organized. We would highly recommend as a one nighter or multiple nights if one needs to be in the Amarillo area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a hard one to rate. As to the site: if you are OK without shade in the desert, these sites are top notch. After so many years of staying in campgrounds owned by people who don't seen to know what big rigs need: it was a treat. The low rating created by: Wi-Fi not working and the rally room was not open. Is that where the book exchange is? That's where the spa is. We did the dinner thing: perhaps if you are from Texas, you would enjoy the food. They are applying for a liquor license. Note: Beware of the wind here, it's ferocious. If the wind is coming in from the SW, turn the coach around. It tore the door from my hand, slamming it into the mirror and springing the hinge. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not for kids as no fires allowed - nor are there playgrounds, lawns, etc. But if you're looking for a modern, clean, well-maintained, CHEAP, secure and overall pleasant place to stay in Amarillo, this is it! The location right off of I-40 is far enough back to kill most noise from the highway but more importantly puts you two minutes from the major retail, food, etc. The clubhouse and admin. building are very nice. Bathrooms and showers are VERY clean, modern and each one locks for families. Concrete throughout, but nice wild grasses break it up so it is attractive. No, this is not a place to socialize like state park campgrounds, but from a utilitarian point of view, this is perfect! Go in the off season like we did and they let you stay third night free - we stayed three nights, full hookups = $30! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a fabulous park that we would recommend for overnight or longer. It definitely would rank as one of the best RV parks at which we have stayed in our 11 years of full-timing. We used Passport America for our one night stay, but the rates are extremely reasonable even without Passport America. Free Wi-Fi, cable and laundry plus huge pull-through sites combined with nice landscaping, friendly staff and dinner and breakfast available at low cost make this park a real winner. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed 3 nights so we paid $20 for two nights and got the third night free. Heck of a deal. Free laundry which we availed ourselves of. We ate dinner in the clubhouse which was $10 for some pretty fine BBQ. The full hookups were great except for a trailer or 5er: your pickup truck would block the roadway while you are disconnecting. The hookups are a bit too far forward. This is a newish park built in 2007 and is the best around easily. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pretty much what the camper said below is true. The pads are nice but that's about it here. What they advertise on their website and what is really here is two different things. No movie night, not even a walking machine or TV in the exercise room, what gift shop? Looks like they are trying to get a bar and pool table room right as you walk in to check in. No communication here and not very well managed. Beware, there is not much space to enter for check in, you may be waiting out in the road. Wi-Fi is terrible. Would probably stay at Fort Amarillo next time, they have a awesome gift shop and the workers are much happier there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have stayed here before and will stay here again. Place is getting busier and Wi-Fi is getting slower. They did tell me upfront they were working on it. If you are in a fifth-wheel the hookups are up front for a motorhome and your tow vehicle is almost in the street if you don't want to unhook. The spa is turned off and you need to tell them when you want to use it so they can go up 30 minutes ahead of time and turn it on. I went up at my scheduled time and it was off. They showed up as I was leaving to start it up. Laundry is still free. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We LOVED this park. It was our first after having just bought our RV and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction into the RV life! Clean facilities, helpful people and absolutely LEVEL! We're headed there right now as my son has been bugging me to stop there again so my wife can see it. FREE laundry? WAHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is the best one nighter RV Park period. New wide sights, wide roads, dinner and breakfast available for a reasonable price, full time RV service on site, free laundry, $1.00 ice, on the honor system, you can wash rig or they will for a fee, and private shower/rest rooms. They had a 3rd night free promotion while we were there. We had a nail in our toad tire and the on site repair fixed it for $15 and we did not have to leave the sight. It is not a resort in any sense of the word, but a great one nighter or more, if touring the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I can't say anything that has not already been said. If you are in the area to see Palo Duro Canyon, it is probably less expensive to stay here than at Palo Duro State Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a repeat stay for us. This remains one of the better RV parks we've seen and is the best value we've seen however the restrooms need attention. The bathroom floors are looking dirty all the time and the toilets weren't always cleaned. We know because we followed the cleaning lady into two of them. We didn't see the owner this time so were unable to tell him this. That said, we would give Oasis another try as long as they continue their special stimulus rates. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is a wonderful example of the best way to design and operate a RV park. A truly wonderful park. Sites are level with a very wide concrete pad and paved driveways and roads. The landscaping is outstanding and the property is very well maintained. We took advantage of the park's permission to wash rigs and its free laundry facilities. We also partook of their BBQ dinner. The park is somewhat removed from I-40 so although their was definitely highway noise, it wasn't bad at all. They offer free cable TV with a good lineup, but it inexplicably does not include ESPN! The Wi-Fi was free and very good. Although we didn't use it, the pool looked very nice. All in all, it would be hard to beat this terrific park! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Wow is all I can say. This is a newer park with all the amenities and it was $17/night for the first 2 nights and the 3rd night was free. It's true, the laundry was free. The park was far enough off of I-40 that there was little or no freeway noise. Most of the other RV parks close by are mostly full (75%) of long term permanent residents. This park had only a few and their sites were clean and well maintained and the rigs were newer. This is a great place to stay overnight or to visit local areas and Palo Duro State Park. I seldom give any RV Park a 10 rating, but this one is a 10 as long as they keep their rates reasonable. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The Oasis RV Resort in Amarillo,Texas is only about 3 years old and is beautifully constructed with double concrete pads. The price is unbelievably low so don't let it be a deterrent to book here. Everything is included in this low price. There is a fee for the breakfasts and dinners they serve in the rally room, but it is nominal. It is not a five-star meal but better than fast food. Easy on/off and near places of interest. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice campground. Sites are level, the place is spotless, and there is plenty of grass to walk your dogs. The hot tub is one of the best we have ever seen at any campground, and the staff is very friendly. They also have free laundry. All this for only $20 a night! If you are staying in Amarillo, don't stay anywhere else. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The resort has free laundry, you can wash your RV at the site, and there's a restaurant on the premises! There's good Wi-Fi coverage. The sites are long and wide and all paved. It's a very nice park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Fantastic RV park with very upscale amenities. Bath rooms and showers were spotless as was the FREE laundry facility. At a rate of $15.00 per night for a pull through with full hookups you cannot go wrong. Also it is right next to the interstate so it's very convenient! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a perfect RV park. The design is more like a desert atmosphere. This would be fine if the wind was not so bad. I was in Amarillo to see doctors and knew I might miss check-out time. I asked and was told past 2:00 pm I should pay for another night. That is fine, but with three fourths of the park empty and never over half full, I thought she would give me extra time. For a quick overnight this park is cheap, and the hookups are very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Super nice park with all pull-through sites, free laundry and level, paved sites. It has the look of a pricey RV resort and you are wecome to wash your RV on site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here again while traveling through this end of Texas. We love this park for it's accessibility to the freeway. Very friendly staff and work campers. Only gave it an 8 rating because of no picnic tables or trash cans throughout the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent access from Interstate. Staff at Oasis is extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay at this site again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of the finest RV resorts I have ever seen! The rates were amazing for all the services they rendered: free internet, free laundry. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen. I would highly recommend this park for a day or a season! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a class park. Only $20 per night for full hookups with nice, level cement pads. The pool and spa were great with the hot summer weather. They also had a free laundry room even though we did not use it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this park. It's a wide open parking area, kind of like a drive-in movie for RV's without the movie screen. Very clean, very wide spaces partially asphalt and partially concrete with an Arizona desert type flair. If you like trees, this isn't the place for you, but if you don't like dodging trees and other obstacles to get into a space, this is the place for you. Rates are very reasonable at $17 for fifth wheels and they have free laundry and even let you wash your RV if you want. If the timing is right, I'll be stay again on my way back home. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was very clean and well set up. The only reason I did not give it a 10 is there is not privacy screening (trees/shrubs) between you and the next pad. There is lots of room, the clubhouse is very nice and clean, the pool is nice, and the price is outstanding. The staff was friendly also. One other potential downside is that it is out of town a little ways (several miles) so if you are not heading east/west through Amarillo it might not be very convenient. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is one of the nicest parks I have ever stayed in, and at $20 per night, I will be back again and again. The breakfast that they serve in the park was excellent, as well as the pool and hot tub. You are doing a disservice to yourself if you are staying at any other RV park in Amarillo when this park is clean, quiet, and resort like and $20 per night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stopped here overnight on our way to Colorado. The park was recommended by a friend who had stayed there before. What a wonderful park and you can't beat the price. They also allow RV washing at your site. We're booked in again for our return trip. Each morning breakfast is served in the clubhouse. In the evening there's a catered BBQ dinner. If you're traveling through Amarillo, this is a great place to stop right off Interstate 40 by Cadillac Ranch. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Our actual rate was $16.50 a day with our Camp Club membership. This is a very nice park with a free laundry, pool, hot tub and adult spa. There is a small restaurant, we didn't try it, prices seemed a little high for sandwiches, etc. If it's shade you want, you won't find it here. It is basically a large parking lot. The sites are level, paved and nice and large. You can wash your rig or tow if you want. We stayed there three weeks and only noticed the odor from the fertilizer factory which was mentioned in another review, occasionally, however, the wind never stopped blowing the entire time we were there. This brought LOTS of dust from the unpaved road just beyond the park entrance and made it difficult to impossible to put our awnings out and enjoy being outside in the shade. I gave the park a 9 because the Wi-Fi was only "Fair" during the evening hours and very slow. During the day, when there weren't many people around, the Wi-Fi worked fine. Also, they do not enforce the speed limit and they allow people to drive through the lots that are not in use rather than stay on the roadways. The office staff was friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wonderful campground away from the main road traffic. They have a home cooked BBQ right in the main office/lounge that has wonderful dinners for $10 and under. Sure is nice at the end of a long day of driving. The sites are all large and well spaced. The spaces are all paved and cement with "desert" plants in between for decoration. The staff is very friendly and helpful and accommodating. There is a big 106" screen TV and many videos to borrow. There are bathroom/laundry buildings spaced throughout the campground. Each pristine, air conditioned bathroom is an individual private tiled room with a shower, sink, toilet and locking door. The laundries at each building have 2 washers and 2 dryers which are free. They also use "workcamper" volunteers. We loved this park and will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Probably one of the nicest campgrounds we have ever stayed at. Friendly people; your own shower and toilet in a private bathhouse! Free laundry... yes free! Pool, work out room and adult-only sauna. The price was right at $13. One very important fact that no one mentioned in previous reviews is that we suspect there is a feed lot nearby. It smelled to high heaven while we visited. My husband and I both grew up on farms and it didn't bother us too bad, but just beware; the stench of cow manure surrounds you. If you have sensitive noses, keep driving past this one. It would have been a 10 in my book if not for the smell. I suspect this smell is there year-round, but I can't confirm. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Our first question was, "what's the catch?". The Oasis is a pristine, spacious campground with an unbelievable price. No complaints for what it was. We prefer a more rustic feel, but this place had everything: level pads, a chance to catch up on internet, clean house, etc. Laundry was free! We would stay again for an overnight. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The price reflects Passport America rate. One of the nicest RV parks I ever stayed in. There is easy access from I-20 and gas right down the road. Large cement sites with a patio. They are spaced a good distance apart. The only downfall, it was hot. I can't hold that against the park's rating. The staff was extremely friendly; they have free laundry which is a plus. They asked that we pass the word. They offer a BBQ dinner in the evening, which I didn't eat so I can't comment on. I would definitely stay here again, in cooler weather. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground offers 192 sites, most are pull-thrus, wide, long, level sites with cable, free WiFi free laundry and allows you to wash your vehicle. It has a swimming pool, adults only spa, rally room and a restaurant. No trees (it is, after all, the Texas panhandle) and no picnic tables, but it is a tremendous value! Great attitude of hosts. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great RV park! They are planting numerous trees and bushes, so the place will look even better next year. Very friendly management. We never pass up the opportunity to stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park. Big open sites, no shade, but that is normal for the area. Easy access from I-40 but no highway noise at all. Pool and club house both very nice. Clean restrooms and showers. Our rate based on a summer special with all sites $15 to $20 depending on your rig. Only complaint: the sewer connections are a bit forward on the pull through sites. Had to unhook the truck to be able to position the TT foward enough to use a 20' hose. Very nice staff. We will stop back here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Just like everybody else here, I simply love this park and stayed here twice this trip. It is an excellent park for on overnight quick in, quick out, stay. Nice, friendly, helpful proprietors run the place. Tthe park is very clean, and has a pool and a hot tub poll. It's close to restaurants on the west side of Amarillo. There's cheap gas available down the block. Oasis is almost adjacent to the world famous "Cadillac Ranch" attraction. My only knock on the place is that there is a nearby feedlot or cattle transfer station, and when the wind is just right, you can pickup a whiff of the "smell of life!" I was OK with it on the evening that happened, and I will return here again. Oasis RV Resort is an excellent value! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed here with three of my grandsons on our way to Colorado for a week and plan on staying again on the way back. Very quiet park with great management. Everyone was quick and helpful. Nightly dinners were great and very convenient. Clubhouse and pool were very nice. Cleanest park I've ever seen and setup was easy. Cable was not the greatest and a few trees would make it nicer but we were not here long. I will always stay here when coming through Amarillo. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent park. Staff at check-in exceptionally friendly & helpful. Everything spotlessly clean & tidy. Lovely big pull through sites, concrete & tarmac. Individual bathrooms spacious, clean & excellent shower. Free laundry was a real bonus. Large shopping mall just 3 miles down Interstate or frontage road. No shade, but then sometimes trees providing shade cause problems with slide-outs & awnings! Would definitely recommend & will stay there again & at others in the group. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
After passing this park many times, we finally were at a time of the day to stop. Just great from the time we pulled in and until we left the next morning. This is one time we got more than our money's worth. Level, cement pads. Hookups located correctly. Able to use the pull through without unhooking the toad. Things that make a park a "want to return" park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent RV resort. Great friendly and helpful service, activity promotions for the weekend. Easy access and next to Love's travel stop. Will return again! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean park. Pool was clean with plenty of chairs at pool side. There was a designated storm shelter, which I wish all parks had. Laundry facilities were new, clean, and free. I will go back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice & clean. As you would expect in Amarillo, no trees, but the park is great as a stopover for the night. All sites are paved & level. We have used as a stopover before & will again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Wow! This is a 10!! Though there is an absence of trees it was cool with a constant breeze. The pool was exceptional and there were two hot tubs--one for families and one for adults only. There is a wonderful exercise room, ice is available at all the bath houses scattered throughout the park. Honor system to pay for the ice $1 a bag. Bath houses double as tornado shelters. Each contains 3 shower-toilet-sink combos. Laundry is free. Large-screen TV in guest lounge and good food is available to guests for reasonable prices. We would definitely stay here again and we recommend it highly to anyone in any size RV unit. Our size was $15, and the other prices were $17 and $20. Pay for 2 nights and get the 3rd night free--only we had to leave to keep on our schedule. All of us rated this a 10!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed in the Oasis on a trip passing through Amarillo both going and coming. The sites were level, all paved, very large pull through sites, and the park looks brand new. Very nice grass along edges for pets and pet clean up bags. This is a real quality park for a very low price and perhaps the very best park I have ever stayed in for the price...... only $17 bucks. What a deal! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We love Oasis RV Resort. We have camped there since they opened and every year it gets better! The folks that run the resort are as nice as anyone could be, and they strive to make sure you are 100% satisfied. There pool and spa are wonderful and the adult only spa is even nicer. We highly recommend Oasis RV Resort to anyone in the Amarillo area for a night or several nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was just out of town, quiet, and clean. The owners really take great care of this place. If we come to Amarillo again, we will surely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park - best bargain of our trip. Free wi-fi, cable, laundry, and a storm shelter. There is no shade, but it's Amarillo. Big wide level concrete sites. Plenty of room for slide-outs. Sewer, water, and electrical all well placed. Easy in and out. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the ONLY place to stay in Amarillo. Yes, it's not right in town -- but that's a good thing. Level concrete pads had room for us to park our 38' fifth wheel without unhitching AND our extra car! Ultra-clean, friendly. We just wish there were more like this place! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very nice park with a very friendly staff. The rates are great. All sites are level and most are pull through. They have a free laundry and the wifi works great as does the cable. You can even wash your RV if you want. The pads at each site are very wide. I could park my trailer and truck side by side if I wanted. There was no need to since the sites are very long. There were no picnic tables, but at this time of year in Amarillo, it's too hot to eat outside. The nights were pleasant. They have ice for $1.00 a bag which you pay for on the honor system in a box near the freezer. They also have a small restuarant in the club house. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here one night on our way home. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 was due to the Wi-Fi not being very good. I could get on and get my emails, but could not bring up any pages on websites. It was also very slow. We were parked right across from the clubhouse, which had an antenna on it, so should have received very good signal. The park is lovely and when the trees get bigger, you will have some shade. Right now, you're right out in the hot sun, so need to use an awning, but there's so much wind in Amarillo, you're afraid to put it out! For the money, it's fabulous and right now, they have free laundry, which is unheard of in a RV park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is one of the nicer parks that I have stayed in. The sites are all concrete, level, and easy to maneuver around. I have a 45' coach and had no problems. One of the nicest assets to this park is that the laundry is FREE. The had four or five laundry facilities around the park. The only down side to this park is that there is no shade (101 when we arrived) and the cable didn't work very well. And the price was definitely right. We didn't need the cable so that wasn't an issue. Great park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
After six years of Rv camping I was expecting the usual problems one encounters when pulling in tired from driving. All I can say about this place is WOW! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a one night stay. This was a nice park and appears newer than most RV parks. The registration office was easy to get to and the staff was very friendly. Hookups were easy to access. We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A new park with all paved sites, good water pressure, good electricity, and at a bargain price of $20 nightly. However, there are some problems. Landscaping is almost totally lacking and the park is stark, wi-fi is very, very spotty. And, while they serve excellent ribs in the clubhouse, pull-through sites are on the very back of the parking lot, making it impossible for handicapped people to go to the rib dinner or to the clubhouse. Still, a very good value for the money. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very wide, level concrete pads. Nice. No shade, but I believe shade is overrated anyway. It usually blocks the satellite TV reception or gets in the way of the slide-outs. The Amarillo area is windy and prone to thunderstorms at this time of the year. It’s windy enough that it’s not worth the risk to put awnings out. That’s not the park’s fault though. Appears to be well managed, neat and clean. I don’t rate anyplace a 10, so far at least, because I believe no place is perfect. I’m hard pressed to keep that rule here. So, I will be picky and note that they do not collect trash bags. You must drop them in the dumpster yourself. We are staying here two nights and would return without hesitation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My husband had a different park in mind, but when I saw all the reviews I changed it. Large sites with all the conveniences, including barbecue suppers for $9.95. That became affordable because our rate per night was $16, and doing laundry was free. Treelessness becomes less important. I will say the wind in Texas was ferocious, but that was not the campground's fault. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the best value campground we have ever stayed at. It has all the amenities you could want. It is 2 yrs. old so plantings are immature, which makes it rather hot in the summer sun. Otherwise, it is a great park. I would absolutely stay here again when going through the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The only reason this park doesn't rate a 10 is because there is no shade from the hot Texas sun. Most RVs have an awning so it's really not a problem. In every other way it was near perfect. Easy access from I-40 but far enough away there was little road noise. A Love's truck stop is 1/4 mile away at the freeway exit. No railway noise either. Almost all sites are pull-thru, facing northeast, and long enough that we didn't have to detach our dingy. The park is spacious, clean, looks new and has three well kept restroom-shower-laundry facilities. Washers and dryers are quality equipment and free of charge. Also available at each facility is 10lb bags of ice for $1. Grassy areas for walking the dog has multiple young trees that will someday offer much shade. At the Club House they offered a TX-BBQ dinner of ribs, pintos, coleslaw, potato salad, rolls and a soft drink for $9.50. The portions were generous and the food very good. Although the RV park is outside of town good restaurants and shopping is within five miles. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice large park. The rates are a great value for what you get. We have paid more for much less. The park is far enough off of I-40 you don't hear road noise. There are two WalMarts within 5 miles and lots of dining options. We camped here in a Motorhome.
No dirt, gravel with concrete pads and landscape plants growing in the gravel. There is well kept grass around the perimeter. Park looks new and is well cared for. Wi-fi excellent. Quite windy yesterday and no dust or dirt blowing. We plan to stay tomorrow and watch the Nascar race on their big screen tv and low and behold the 3rd night is free. Can't beat that! They have catered dinners every night and restaurants and shopping are only 5 minutes away. We camped here in a 5th wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
One of the best overnight type parks we have ever been to. Very friendly staff and large pull through sites with great utilities. Just far enough out of town to be quiet but still close to shopping and restaurants. Unbelievable price and they throw in free laundry. We will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is AWESOME. Just pull in your spot and un-hook, you're level, on a black-top/concrete paved site. All hook-ups at your fingertips. Staff was great, gave a quick tour of some of the facilities. Clean, FREE laundry, clean restrooms. 4 different ones through out the park. We will definitely be back. Running special right now, $17 for Class C's and 5th Wheels. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We liked this park very much. Finally a park that "gets it" regarding big rigs. We drive a bus with car trailer and need a very large site to accommodate the SUV when it's off the trailer. We had gobs of room left over on our site #158 and there are other very large ones too. This is easy in and out, all paved with desert landscaping and is very well kept. Laundry is terrific as they have all front loading new machines (and they are free). The location is right next to the Cadillac Ranch and do check out the Market Street grocery in town! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the best rv parks we've been in. The personable owner/operator checked us in. Yes its flat with no shade trees but there is green manicured grass, and the sites and interior roads are paved. There are 4 shower/laundry combo buildings with 4 free washers and 4 free dryers in each building. This is a special promo because they want to build up business. They also have specially reduced prices to build up business. Its a fairly new park and you can tell the owner is oriented to travellers who want clean showers/toilets, high speed wifi and excellent cable tv. Its quiet with little to no freeway noise. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent new campground. New young plants but no shade. With the prevailing wind, there is no road noise. The only problem we had was the voltage, of the dozen power stands I tested, was too low at 97-99 volts to allow our Surge Guard to provide power to our coach. I forgot to bring our Autoformer to step up voltage. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Would have given it a 9 or 10 if the WiFi had worked. That part of this park was awful but the upsides outweighed that. Free Laundry. All paved and level lots. Beautiful pool and SPA. Dinners severed at clubhouse both nights we were there for $6. Very windy but still a great park. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Once in a while we get a good one, this is one. The CG is fairly new, very clean and very big sites with concrete pads. Level. The people were very friendly in the office. We had BBQ in the clubhouse, something they offer every evening. Easy to get in and out of the park and I-40. No road noise, even when sitting outside. Coming from NC, we're not use to not having trees, but it seems to be the norm in Texas. Each bath house had a laundry in it. This is a first rate CG. Highly recommend it for a night stop, or to hang out for a few days. It's not it the GPS yet, but TL guide has it listed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The Oasis RV Resort was a very clean and well-managed park. We arrived there and found they were having a half-price special which made us very happy. The laundry rooms were very small, but very clean and the best part is they were totally free! We also enjoyed the barbecue that was provided for guests both nights we were there, for the small charge of $6.00. We will stay here again if we travel to Amarillo. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is relatively new and very nice with pavement and concrete pads. The folks were very friendly and very accommodating. We decided to stay an extra day and there were no problems. The only negative was the cable did not work. They came out and checked it with a little TV and got a picture. However, my cable worked the day before we got there at another campground and it worked the day after we left at the next campground. I have to assume they have a problem. We watched local TV and made due with that! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful park, it is fairly new and it has very large concrete pads, with blacktop driveways. It has 3 restroom/laundry areas, which were well kept. There is an exercise room with two exerbikes and one eliptical machine next to the check in office. The price is exceptional, when you figure in that the laundry machines are free to use, and you can wash your RV and tow vehicle onsite. My only negative comment is the wi-fi internet connection. It was a bit confusing getting logged on, and when connected it would drop out frequently and I was only 100-150 ft from the nearest antenna. Other than the wi-fi we would stay here again, it is a very nice campsite with plenty of restaurants within a few miles including Big Texan's 72 oz steaks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is amazing. Free WiFi at every site, free cable TV, on-site propane, and FREE laundry facilities. Three buildings with individual bathrooms & showers and laundry plus soft drink machines and ice machines are spaced around the park -- in addition to the office building with pool and spa. They say there is a fitness room but I didn't find it. They let you wash your rig for free, too. All this for $17 which is advertised as a "Stimulus Special." $15 for pop-ups and pull trailers, $17 for 5th wheels and class Cs, and $20 for class As. Best bargain around! No shade trees -- everything is paved or concrete -- huge sites with patio. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is probably the best bang for your buck you will find in the State of Texas. The weather was not ideal during our 8 night stay so we did not use the pool, hot tub, etc. The sites are great; the pads are large and concrete. We enjoyed the free Laundry and ability to wash your vehicle on site. Good wi-fi, good cable, and good water. -We will be back as we have family in the area. Good place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is a great park with lots of amenities. Free laundry, nice spa, big sites, free wifi and wide roads. Lots of pull through sites. The park was only about 1/3 full when we were there. The rate is their stimulus rate and the Passport America rate. I would almost go out of my way to stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A friend suggested this park to overnight in and boy were they right! This place is great with long level sites and very low prices. There is even an introductory deal of free laundry. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Wonderful spot. Large level lots. Free WiFi and cable although local stations (NBC, CBS, ABC) must be accessed by antenna. The wind was gusting so hard I was afraid to put it up. Bathrooms/showers are large and roomy and very clean. Free laundry - who's ever heard of that at a campground? Nice check-in spot with a few souvenirs and supplies, big screen TV, game area, book exchange. Close to highway but very quiet. Swimming pool and adult hot tub. This is definitely a keeper. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an excellent park for a single night or extended stay. The sites are very large and flat. It is minutes away from shopping and anything you might need. The owner is friendly and very helpful. We recommend this park to everyone coming this way. Note - the check-in is now towards the back right side of the park and not the building as you enter. We love the new rates. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wow,what an Oasis in Texas. Beautiful RV Resort just off of I-40. Easy off and on access to the freeway. Owners on site and the work campers keep this park looking beautiful. Anyone looking for a wonderful RV spot for the night or week this is it. Good value for your dollar with their current stimulus package rates. Large pull thrus and big rig friendly. Good strong WI-Fi, Cable, & free laundry facilities. Our truck broke down while we were here and the management went out of their way to assist our every needs. Don't look for a better park when in this area. They allow you to wash your RV on site. What a nice place to call home away from home. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
What a great place to overnight. Located on the western edge of Amarillo,their huge sign is easily seen from I-40, however, it only says "RV Resort" not "Oasis RV" so heads up if you are looking for it. We arrived late at night and there was no late arrival information posted so we called the phone # and a friendly fellow said for us to "just drop $20 bucks in the box". I am sure he gave us a discount because of our late arrival. The bathrooms/showers were the cleanest we have ever used! The entire facility was clean and well maintained. I think the park is new , therefore, there is no shade. We had no time to use the pool but it looked nice. We would overnight here again We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a nice park for touring the Amarillo area. The $20 rate is a "special," I was told that it is usually $33. All the sites are paved, level, and large. Restrooms have private individual showers, and all look new. The laundry was free!! I don't expect that will last, but what a nice benefit. There is a heated pool, and spa, and a very nice clubroom. It is just off I-40, but we did not notice the highway noise. The only downside was no trees, and very windy, with some smell of manure from the surrounding fields. But I expect that would be the same at any other park in this area. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent only one night there while traveling back to Oklahoma, and were really impressed. They were having a special, so we got a great rate of $17. The lady at the office was very friendly. Everything was nice and clean, and I would rate it a 10 if they had trees. Plant some palm trees around there and the Oasis would be a 10 for sure. Will definitely stay there again. Highly recommend this place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Only a few years new. The park is far enough off I-40 to be quiet. Only short distance to "Cadillac Ranch" and 6 miles to Amarillo. The park is truly a resort. The office has an impressive lounge with leather furniture a fantastic pool and hot tub and a voluminous library. CLEAN SHOWERS FREE LAUNDRY! We used our Passort card and were very impressed. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Loved this RV park! It is a jewel, and seems to be pretty much a hidden treasure. Very few RVs were there. It needs more customers, I want to be able to make that our home base when we are in the Panhandle next year, as well. Free everything, laundry, wifi, cable TV, clean and tidy and long drive through spots. Just beyond the infamous "Cadillac Ranch" on I40 just west of Amarillo. Nice and warm, clean showers. Just watch out for the wind, it can be rather strong at times. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great park, spotlessly clean, friendly staff. This park was truly an oasis in the middle of the desert. The place was laid out well and the landscaping was nice. All RV parking was done on level concrete pads with facilities within easy walking distance. The showers were private and heated. I can recommend this to anyone, in any type of a camper, to spend a night, or a week. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found this park to be very spacious with level cement pads. Restrooms are very clean with free laundry. Clubhouse does close at 6 p.m. but will stay open late upon request. Pool and hot tub is seasonal. Surround-sound theatre, book exchange, and shuffleboard plus a work-out room all included at the clubhouse. Pets are welcome. Very peaceful place to stay with easy access off the interstate west of Amarillo, Texas. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is without a doubt the cleanest and best organized campground we have ever stopped at. It is located far enough off the Interstate that it is fairly quiet. All sites are huge concrete pads with side concrete patios. The roads are paved and between the sites is gravel with desert grasses and bushes. The free Wi-Fi is excellent and there is free cable too. They also provide free laundry in three very clean restroom/shower/laundry pavilions. There is also a clubhouse with multiple televisions, a book exchange, shuffle-board, workout room and more laundry machines. There is an outdoor pool and two hot tubs (seasonal). The staff members are very nice and helpful. All types of shopping are only a 5-10 minute drive away. We stayed during the fall off-season when rates were $25/day ($150/week). There is propane on site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very good park for a big rig. The sites are very easy to access on paved roads and they offer plenty of space for slide-outs and awnings. There is little shade and very few rigs were there in early November, but the various amenities and facilities appeared to be first rate. The nightly rate reflects a two-night stay. We definitely would return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great park. It is fence and a block off I-40 so noise is not an issue--not even the traditional train or airplane. We found the park very big rig friendly. This park will accommodate any size RV with any number of slides and tow. Staff was very friendly & accommodating. We had a couple of special requests and they met them without question. They then came by to ensure our comfort & that we were pleased. The park is absolutely spotless. The clean & free laundry is wonderful (free is worth $10 easy). All roads are blacktop. Sites are double wide concrete with a concrete patio area. Utilities are modern & well placed. Between the sites is a large area of stone. The Wi-Fi was great. The instructions stated one would have to re-log in every five hours which was no problem. We consider this the best value park that we use. We will return! We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice park, highly recommended. I would have given a higher rating but was not pleased with the way the internet access was setup and it constantly having you to renew your log on credentials. Other than that, a fine park. I would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place was very neat and clean and nicely landscaped (with gravel and desert plants) given it was located in west Texas where there is no grass or trees—just red dirt. The staff was very friendly. The roads were paved as were the pads. Each site had a patio, but no table or grill. It is usually too windy for fires. The cable TV reception was good with lots of channels, and the free Wi-Fi worked fine for us. The restrooms/showers were very clean; we did not check out the pool. They advertise a free laundry, but we did not use it. Some people will probably criticize this place because its layout is more like an RV park rather than a campground, but we really liked it and hope we get to stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is only the second "10" we've ever given. Ultra-clean, ultra-modern and ultra-organized, this place was designed by people who KNOW what an RV park should be like. It's definitely worth the bit further drive in to town to have a level, cement site. The buildings were beautiful, the xeriscaping fits the area, and everything was perfect. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I don't know much about any other park near here, but I don't think they can beat this. This was our third time here and not our last. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Everybody has already pretty much described all the positives about this park: the facilities, the newness, the owners, etc. The only problem we had during our 2 day stay was the WIFI. It went down for a couple hours and had to be rebooted by the owner and was not reliable during our stay. The only fault I found with the park was the location of the sewer toward the front of the sites. People towing 5th wheels and trailers may have to use extra sewer hose if they do not plan on unhooking. Surprisingly, they are not doing the business they expected. The owner said they have already had 300 cancellation this year. I'd hate to see a new park of this quality not make it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The hosts were great and the campground is one of the nicest we have stayed at. Everything is of excellent quality and up to date. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very large pull-throughs. Excellent satellite visibility. Concrete pads. Paved roads. Stayed here one night. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an excellent park for new RV'ers because the roads and spaces are wide with the majority of spaces being pull-throughs. Have never seen nicer, cleaner restrooms and showers. The laundry rooms have wonderful Maytag machines that are kept clean. The people are friendly and helpful. The park is located far enough from the interstate that there is no possibility of road noise but still has easy access. I would recommend this park highly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Traveling down the highway in a 42 footer, this park is exactly what I look for. I don't even know where to begin, this place is a 10 for sure. Tons of space, wide paved roads, concrete pads on the HUGE level sites. Top-notch facilities, clubhouse with pool and spa, bathroom and showers were sparkling clean. Great 50 amp power, 6 different onsite wifi networks to connect to. Friendly staff at check-in that shows you the park map and lets you choose where you want to be. Dogs had all kinds of room to roam around. Park was only about 1/4 full on Thursday, July 10, 2008. We were only passing through, but I would stay at this park for an extended period of time in a heartbeat if I were in Amarillo again. Only two things weren't perfect, but they are no fault of the park so I do not detract from the score: quite windy (especially at night), and the cow manure odor was pretty strong but thankfully only lasted for about an hour. Bottom line, I wish every RV park in the country could be just like this one. I wouldn't change a thing! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean park. Large, level concrete pads. Easy to park and exit. Separate adults only hot tub. Free laundry. Large grass areas for walking the dog. Would stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New RV park located just off I-40 at exit 60 on the West side of town. Large concrete spaces and ample roads between rows. Nice clubhouse area and friendly staff in the office. The only negative is that it is located near a field and they will fertilizing in the morning. Conveniently to seeing Cadillac Ranch and the summer Play Texas in Palo Verde Canyon We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a find in the middle of no where! This is a new campground with large level sites. The bathrooms are just like at home with potty and shower in one room. Pool is very nice. The owners are incredible. We pulled in and hooked up, played in the pool and showered. The weather started to change and a huge hail storm came through breaking a vent, we made a split second decision to leave and head west away from the storms. Next morning my husband called, and the manager offered to refund our money! I will stay here again when passing through Amarillo. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This RV park was certainly an Oasis after driving through from Albuquerque. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The only detriment was the wind blowing from the south but the park is laid out to minimize the effect. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly front desk, immaculate grounds. Only minor noise from nearby I-40. Wi-fi connection was very spotty, and very slow. Pool and hot tub were great and bathrooms were clean and in great condition. On western outskirts of Amarillo, about a mile from the Cadillac Ranch. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We pulled in here last minute as it was starting to snow. What a good decision it was. Very well laid our CG. Everything worked great. Real nice people. This place is a bit away from Amarillo itself, but not a bad drive. There's a gas station close by and a sandwich shop. That was convenient. We really didn't have too much time to really look around but we will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Well laid out park. I agree with the large sites and concrete patio's. No grass except around the perimeter. Cable does not include networks, so must use the antenna to receive those. Wi-fi worked great for us. While we were here, the wind was very gusty. Had some "cow odor" too, but didn't seem to last very long and wasn't too bad. The free laundry was a real bonus!! Machines were clean and worked great. There are laundry facilities all around the campground. Even though the park is close to the freeway, we didn't notice any freeway noise. You are about 6 miles west of the city, so have to drive a little to find restaurants and the requisite Wal-mart. We would definitely stay here again. Folks were very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Lots of room and were given a choice of sites. Pads are nice level concrete with a good sized patio area. Grassy area for a dog walk right next to us. Cable TV didn't work all that well and the Wi-Fi was a pain to get into and wanted to cut out several times. Very nice people and helpful about what to see, restaurants available etc. The free laundry was great, nice new clean machines. A bit of a "cow" odour in the air on several occasions but not terrible. We would return to this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is Amarillo's newest park and is located on the far west side of town, near Love's, about half a mile south of I-40. We didn't hear any road noise. It is easy to get to, and a great place to spend a night or two. Being new, the facilities were very nice. Laundry is free to paying guests, something we have never come across. The sites are spacious and easily accommodate big rigs. The rate we paid was discounted since it is a "jewel" park, and we were referred by a park in Gallup, NM which is also a "jewel." We travel I-40 quite often and previously stayed at another park in Amarillo. Oasis is our new choice. We definitely will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have now stayed here four times within the last 2 years. This is by far the nicest park we have been in. Very clean, new amenities, and friendly staff. Level, concrete pads with free laundry. We make this a must stop when passing through on I-40. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great new campground. No tree's but lets face it, it is Amarillo where tree's are scarce. They landscaped it with rocks which is a nice touch. The sites are concrete and level which I love. The FREE laundry is a awesome perk. Everything was nice and clean. The WiFi was strong and fast. We have stayed at most of the parks in this city and this is by far the nicest one. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The only thing missing from this resort is trees, but this is West Texas and there just aren't many trees in this part of the country. Normally I would not call this a "destination" park but I'd go out of my way to stop here again. It's easy to navigate to and through with a hugh shopping area just four miles away. And the one-fee-covers-all is great. I despise the places that advertise a low rate then nickle and dime you to death with charges for tv, WiFi, laundry and even showers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stay here every time we pass through Amarillo. We have stayed at other RV parks here but this is the best in Amarillo. Huge sites, free wifi, cable, laundry and too many amenities to mention. Family owned and the owners are very friendly and will do anything to make your visit a wonderful experience. We think this is one of the best RV parks we have ever stayed in. Close to dining and shopping. Very quiet no highway or railway noise. It's the best !!!!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here from June to November 07 while in Amarillo for work with my family, wife and two daughters. We were one of the first guest, saw Chris and Thomas always trying to make adjustments to make things better for the overnighters and full timers. Park was always kept clean, very nice bathhouses, clubhouse has a lot of potential, somethings were not complete while we were there, but we could see the potential. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to other. One note don't plan on putting out the awning the only bad thing is the wind it is terrible, we lost a slide awning to the Amarillo wind and tie down anything left outside. Thanks guys We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nicest owners you will ever meet. Clean grounds and spotless bath/showers. Had a mound of laundry to do so they assigned us site 40, right next to the laundry facilities. 4 stacked Maytag washer/dryers at no charge to use. Very quiet at night, no road noise or train whistles... Will take advantage of their book exchange next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Creme de la creme of RV Parks West of the Mississippi. It took two brothers from Indiana, Purdue grads at that, to figure out what the modern RV public is seeking. We were going to stay only one night but this park was so nice we stayed more. The other reviews detail the amenities, which are unsurpassed. Will bookmark this park for future stops. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Visited park in a big rig and found it to be very big rig friendly. Roads are paved and very wide. Sites are concrete. Long enough for any size coach without disconnecting tow car. Very wide to accomodate any number of slides and still have patio space on the pad. A table at each site would be a nice addition. Since it is new there are no trees to dodge. The utilities are modern and mounted on a lit pedestal. The only thing I would have changed was the sewer connection was placed toward front of site and would have been better placed toward the rear. The staff is friendly, but seem a little disorganized. They try hard to please. We were able to pick our site. The recreation area is hotel quality. Pool was cold, but the two spas were warm & staff turned up the heat when we said we wanted to use. It was great after a long drive. We found the wifi worked, but was not real strong. This is the type of resort that big rig drivers are looking for & sets the standard for future rv resorts. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent campground! Level concrete sites, nice folks, fabulous desert landscaping, all utilities worked perfectly, beautiful adults-only spa separate from the pool, and they even have storm shelters for the frightening Amarillo weather (we had a hail storm that killed a vent, flattened the air conditioner intake, and put holes in the sewer hose that looked like a shotgun blast, but Dickey Stout RV repaired the damage on short notice). The rating of 9 rather than 10 is because the wifi was excruciatingly slow, and they were short-staffed, so the restrooms weren't cleaned as often as I would have liked and the clubhouse was open only intermittantly. Would stay there again if in the area. Note this place seems to go by two names: RVXpress and Oasis. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very new so no trees but some planted on perimeter. Very, very clean and very level. one of the best sites we have visited. About 1/4 mile from Travel America. Free washer/dryers We camped here in a Motorhome.
As others have stated, this is an awesome campground that just opened in June 07. The owners (two brothers) are RVers themselves, and designed it specifically for big rigs. Granted, there are no trees or tall bushes, etc. but it is very nicely landscaped with decorative gravel, small plants, etc. There is very little grass, and what there is is near the office and also around the pool/clubhouse. The sites are HUGE, level,with concrete pads with full hookups with very nice utility pedestals. Most sites are pull throughs, and the facilities are about the nicest of any campground we've seen around the country. There are several very nice bathhouse/laundry buildings strategically located throughout the campground. Each building has several really nice, very clean individual private bathrooms with showers as well as a laundry room, and the laundry is free! The swimming pool, spa and adjoining club house and exercise room are beautiful! All of the buildings are done in a southwest adobe fashion, and are first rate. The owners really put a lot of thought and money into building this campground, and while we were here, at least one of them (Chris) was on site 24/7. He was super nice and very helpful with suggestions on things to see and do as well as places to eat, etc.. The interior roads are all paved and super wide, so no problems getting in/out and turning corners, no matter what size rig you have. We drove all around the campground in our 40 ft motorhome with Jeep in tow as we picked out our site. It's about a half mile or so off of I-40, so while you can hear the traffic in the distance, it's not that bad and didn't bother us at all, unlike some campgrounds that we've stayed at near the interstate. This is a definite 10. If we are ever in this area again, we'd absolutely stay here! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a first-rate facility and one of the nicest RV parks that I have stayed at. I heartily agree with all of the positive things said in previous posts about this campground. The sites are huge and very RV-friendly. The hookup setups are both top-notch and in a cute housing. I gave it a 9 rather than a 10 because the grounds were pretty stark and open. Low-level grasses and other xeriscape plants were used but I would like to see some taller bushes or trees. I live in the high desert and know that there are some nice desert-type trees and bushes available that don't take a lot of water. This is the only thing that I would say "negative" about this RV park and that is being really picky. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to other RVers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We've been full-timing and traveling extensively for 3 years and this is one of the nicest parks we have ever stayed at. All the sites have level concrete pads. The utilities are very accessible. The sites are wide (30-35 feet) and attractively landscaped. There are multiple wi-fi antennas so there is excellent reception throughout the park. There are at least 5 laundry buildings which double as storm shelters (important in this part of the state!). Also, laundry is FREE! The owners are on site and are extremely gracious, friendly and helpful. The roads are all asphalt and are easily the width of two motor homes. TV cable is free and selection is robust. This is where we are staying if we are anywhere in the area! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place, I concur with the previous comments. Only downside is what the visitors (read long termers) are doing to the resort, i.e., going to work and leaving a barking dog tied up outside.........park owner has doggy drop trash containers located at the end of every street, yet you'll find dog crap not picked up. Banning dogs from campground would be a positive step. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
What a great new park. We stopped here on our way out west and again on our way home. The sites are wide, very level, right off I-40 but very little freeway noise. There is a truck stop on the same exit. There is a hot tub and pool, free laundry, WiFi works great, and they have cable.Ice and drink machines adjacent to bath houses. While we did not use the showers there, I did look, and they were very clean. Very pleasant people to check you in. Can't say enough good things about the place. We will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed here on the way home to New Mexico, and was pleasantly surprised to find a first class RV park just outside of Amarillo. Level, Concrete sites, spacious so no others are on top of you. Modern amenities. A must stay if you like quality for a fair price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
They don't get any nicer than this. Everything you could want and more. Wish we could stay longer that's how nice it is. Nice paved pull thru. Free cable and WiFi both of which work really well. Free laundry. Everything new and clean. Restrooms are wonderful. Did I say I really like this place? And management is very nice and friendly too. It is unusual to find a place like this that has it all. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park is a 10+. It's new! Wide asphalt paved streets. Double wide level concrete pad plus concrete patio. Landscaped with desert landscaping between sites. Well maintained grassy areas around the parameter of the park. Three separate combo laundry and restroom/bath facilities. Each unit has 5 private bathrooms with showers + a Free Laundry with 4 new Maytag washers and dryers. We would definitely camp here again! We rated it a 9 because the wifi did not work for us - we had to rely on a Cingular Aircard. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Absolutely fantastic for its primary purpose - an overnighter while traveling through Amarillo. But on the other hand, if we were visiting the city, this would be our first choice of campgrounds in the area! Brand new and immaculate; every site is wide, level, and the utilities are top-notch. Wi-Fi is excellent. The comfort stations feature individual bathrooms, and they were so clean and new that I was tempted to use them instead of the bathroom in my camper! Host was very friendly and welcomed me to choose any site that I wanted. Easy access to I-40, but far enough away that I could not hear the traffic. I can't say enough about this campground - simply superb and highly recommended! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great overnight campground as you pass through Amarillo. New and has everything you need. Great individual showers/bathrooms. Management very friendly. Even said I could wash my rig at no charge & laundry was also free. I will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park is new,clean and has nice landscaping. The sites are all concrete and level. The bathrooms are individual rooms each with a shower, toilet, and sink. Laundry is free and clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is immaculate since it is brand new. It was still under construction while we stayed, but most of it was finished and was beautiful!! The restrooms are individual rooms with multiple locks on the doors providing for extra safety. The sites were all concrete and nice and spacious. The gentleman that runs it and his daughter were super nice and told us to pick any site we wanted since they are all the same price. I could not believe it was only $28!! They have cable however you do need your antenna for local channels. Like the other review said, it is called RVXpress so it is meant for stop overs and not long term stays, therefore there are no picnic tables, fire rings or grassy areas and there were no trees planted at the time of our stay. THIS SAID,IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and I did not miss these items at all. I wish we could have stayed longer. This is definitely a campground that we would go out of our way to stay at again. After having traveled cross country and staying at numerous campgrounds, I can easily say this is by far one of the nicest in the U.S.!!!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is brand new so everything was clean and in excellent condition. Some construction still going on. Friendly staff and reasonable rates. Although the park is gigantic there were only a few people there when we made an overnight stop. Sites are all paving and decorative rocks, extra wide and extra long. Big rigs with multiple slides will have plenty of room here. Very nice pool and clubhouse area. We like some outdoor living with our RVing so the low score is due to the lack of picnic tables, fire rings, or a playground. There is plenty of space for these and perhaps they will be added in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a brand new park. The spaces are enormous, concrete, and level. The staff was very friendly. The restrooms and showers were emaculate. The laundry facilities were free! It is just far enough off of I-40 to be quiet. We will stop here anytime we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a new park and looks like it will be just wonderful when totally completed. The sites are huge and the laundry facilities are free. It is just off the highway but far enough not to be bothered by noise. There is a adult spa and a kiddy pool, exercise room and activities room. The owner seems intent on providing the best for RVers and so far seems to be doing a great job. I gave the park a 9 only because it is not totally completed at this time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice park with easy access on and off Interstate 40. The Wi-Fi signal was weak and very slow. Had some on-site dog runs. Also good cable TV. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park: the staff was friendly and helpful. Especially nice was the free transportation to a steak house nearby. Easy on and off from I-40. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Another overnight stay while traveling through Texas, so the name suits the campground well. Staff is very friendly and helpful. First site we were put in was too short; the staff quickly moved us without any problems. The site we stayed in had a nice little fenced dog area on the site, as did several sites. Sites and interior roads are gravel. This campground is under the flight path of a nearby commercial airport. We only had one plane fly in at 9pm; it was very low which scared the dogs a bit. It is along the road and a truck stop is across the street, so there was road noise. The area gives the feeling that you need to keep all doors locked; however we didn't see or have any problems. If driving through and needing an overnight stop in the area we'd stay again if nothing better was available. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice people, nice place but lots of traffic noise. Nice for the animals. When an airplane does come over it is very low. We only had one plane around 9 PM. Neither of us slept good because of the traffic noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First let me say the campground is right in the middle of the Air Force flight path. Being an old Air Force guy I didn't mind the noise at all. It brought back a lot of old memories. Gentleman in the office was very helpful and friendly. Limo service to the Big Texan Steak House was available and the drivers were very courteous. Good water pressure and electrical power was good. Wi-Fi has a good signal with no problems connecting. No Version service in the complete town of Amarillo. Extended service was available though. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good place to stay for an over nighter. Managers always friendly, and have been so for past 8 years or so. Near the "Big Texan" steakhouse if you wish to enjoy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is right off of the interstate, and car and truck noise is a problem. As well you are right off the South end of the Airport runway. The air traffic does die down later at night. The highway does not. The sites are chip gravel, and it does track into your rig. The bathrooms were older but good and clean, and locked. Utility services worked well, including the wifi. We went to the Big Texan for a steak dinner, as the shuttle with the longhorns on the hood comes right to your camper door. A little secret though, if you can't eat the 72 oz free steak in an hour, it will cost you $72. I had a 12oz and paid for it, thank you very much. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Decent older RV park. Wi-Fi and cable good. Arrived after dark, registration ready on the office door. Some traffic noise from nearby interstate and airport landing route. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very nice CG for the purpose it serves. It is not a destination CG, but as advertised, it's for overnight stays. Great level sites, some shade, good sized sites, easy in/out and easy on/off the freeway. Nothing fancy, just good accommodations. Noise from the highways is not bad and the occasional USAF jet that flies over is more comforting than annoying. A great stop for overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The name is appropriate for this park because I can't imagine anyone staying for a 2nd night. The park was tidy and neat. The restrooms were spotless; but the noise from the freeway and arterial that flank this place was very bad. This was compounded by the 30 or so jets that land and take off right over your RV from the military base that is right across the freeway. Then there are the trains that pass nearby .......you get the idea. Not a place for a restful night's sleep. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We've stayed here a number of times, but not for any longer than overnight. The park is easy to get into and out of, and the interior roads are fair-to-good. The staff was friendly and the park was generally quiet. I say generally because the park lies underneath the arrival path for planes landing at Amarillo Airport. Now, I love to watch planes so I don't consider this to be a bad thing...but I may be in the minority on that one. The plane traffic did die down considerably after dark. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The name says it all. This is a good campground for an overnight stay. It's benefit is it's proximity to the area. The downside starts with the airline flight patterns being right over the campground. The planes did drowned out the cars on I-40. The campground was clean and the sites were level (gravel). The Wi-Fi worked well. It was easy to navigate with a car in tow. It was cool to go to the Big Texan Steak Ranch via the free limo that will pick you up at the campground. I recommend the free 72oz steak (if you are able to eat the entire steak). Easy access to the interstate. I recommend for overnight stays. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is clean and friendly. It doesn't look like much from the street, but when you get back to the spaces, it's very clean and spaces are ample, level, lava rock (gravel) with patches of grass between sites. The office buildings are older, but very clean. Each spot has a picnic table, but no cement pad. The Wi-Fi is good and available at all spaces. I would definitely stop here again when I return to Amarillo. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice park right off of I40. The only drawback to this park is road and airport noise. Otherwise it was a very pleasant stay. Large spacious sites, some with private dog runs available, as well as a fenced in off-leash area. Park owners were super friendly and helpful. As the park name implies, it is a great overnight stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an older place in need of a face lift. Located right off the interstate with the expected traffic sound. Right on the flight path for the air base with quite a number of planes overhead. The pool was green and full of floating plastic bottles w/ one small hose attempting to re-fill it. Nearby train traffic competed w/ the planes. There were many big rigs and the place was fairly full, but the sites were fairly close. The WiFi was iffy and the cable had a limited number of channels, two of which were movies being shown from the office. Not sure if I'd use this place again, even as I did, just to stay overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice, well-maintained overnight campground. Extremely clean bathrooms/showers. Reasonable price for full-hookup site. Only thing that kept this campground from getting a 10 rating is the spotty wi-fi; it was very slow, and we kept getting booted. Other campers said the same thing. We'd stay there again if we were passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not a bad site - but it is right on the approach to the local airport. The USAF was practicing landings every 10 minutes until 10pm. We had C-5s flying right over our RV! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great as an overnight stop. Didn't hear the planes, but then again I had earplugs in. Wifi worked great, and it was just fine for overnight. Ate at the Big Texan. Okay food, a little over-priced, but then again, you are in Texas. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is very easy to get to from I-40 for an overnight stay. The sites are a decent size and easy to get in and out of. Free cable and internet, but we have 2 laptops that were both unable to connect. If noise is a problem, this is not the place to stay. Proximity to the local Air Force Base makes for a noisy stay. Overall, OK for an overnight stay if you are heavy sleepers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very convenient to fuel stops, I-40, about 35 mi. to Palo Duro Canyon State Park which is a must see, large sites, free cable & wifi, fenced dog walk & provide doggie bags for pickup. Probably a prettier park in summer but worked for us. Next time though we will stay at the State Park, nothing against this park though. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Oh Boy can we pick em. We were dead tired and needed some rest after a long day of traveling and we found this tidy little park. The only problem was that it was right on the Amarillo Air Force base's final approach path. As luck would have it they had C-5 military transport planes practicing " Touch and Go's". Imagine these HUGE 4 engine jets with rocket assist coming in and practicing landings, over and over and over again, 2-3000 ft above your heads and directly over your coach. It went on for 4 solid hours till 9 PM. Throw in a few F-15 fighter jets and your talking about a lot of noise. This place is big rig friendly, but it's tough getting sleep if the air base is active. If we are through here again, we will be staying on the West end of Amarillo. I love planes, but that was ridiculous. I wished the host would have been honest enough to explain this to us about the jets. No wonder he never said a word and just kept smiling. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Free WiFi, free phone at site. Some sites have a fenced yard for pets use. Going to the "Big Texan" to eat, just tell the office & a "Texas Limousine" complete with a big set of horns on the hood picks you up at your site & returns you to site after. (GREAT Restaurant too!!) Do get noise from I-40. Planes are not too bad for as close to airport as the park is. We would definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park worked out very well for us. Close to I-40 but we didn't really get any noticeable freeway noise and did not hear any trains. Did notice the plane noise but only a couple of times during our stay. Sites were level and easy pull throughs with adequate space between you and your neighbor. Bathrooms and showers clean and comfortable. The free Wi-Fi was a great surprise and we used it extensively. Palo Duro State Park is a beautiful place to do some hiking while in the area. We have a 30 ft RV and would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
2 blocks North of I-40 on Lakeside Drive. Free Limo ride to the Big Texan Steak
restaraunt. Says you can wash your RV for $5.00. Has Propane gas. Has 5 fenced sites for pets. Have 37' diesel and stayed two different nights during Dec.
2004. Used WiFi while there. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Ok stop for an overnight, but the airplanes are a problem. Large military transport and fighters fly very low over the park while practicing landings. Owners very friendly and helpful. We arrived early and our site was assigned with a note on the door. This was very helpful. They have everthing you can ask for in a campground, except quiet. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Average park near interstate with easy access. Had very good FREE Wi-Fi. Price is a bit
high for an overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is pretty nice. Only stayed there overnight, so wished the price would've been lower--$22.50 w/Good Sam discount ($25 w/o). Not too far off I-40, across from a large truck stop, but in the path of airplane landings. Didn't use any of the facilities--just parked, slept, and left the next morning--so I can't tell you about anything else. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park is nice but expensive. The cable reception was terrible and the laundry room floods if you start more than one load at the same time. It does have easy access to I-40. They do have free movies to check out in office. We camped here in a camper.

Has all the hookups, cable TV etc but if you like quiet, forget this park. It is on the glide path for Amarillo Airport and the planes landing are approx. 200' over your head. It also has a huge truck stop across the street and a train switching yard behind it. If you are hearing impaired, this is the park for you. For those with normal hearing and sight, forget it! We camped here in a camper.

Great overnight stop. Good Sam Campground. Convenient to fuel/truck stops. Easy access from I-40. We've stayed at virtually all the Amarillo campgrounds on our way thru and this is the best! We camped here in a camper.

I wanted to say that we enjoyed our stay so much. I usually don't write reviews but this time everyone was nice and the Manager was very helpful. Everything was clean including the showers. I usually bring my own cleaners but was not necessary here. The weather looked bad so it was a big plus to know about the storm shelter. All in all I would recommend Sun-Down to all of our friends or anyone else that would like friendly people and a clean safe place to stay. Thank You. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is your basic RV park but the sites are on the small side of the scale. We asked for a pull-thru long enough for our 29' travel trailer and double cab PU to fit without unhitching. The site, and all of them in fact, were not long enough as we were hanging out into the access roads at both ends. There was very little traffic so we didn't unhitch. The WiFi was down and were told the service tech wouldn't be able to get out until sometime the next day. So for this overnight stay we were unable to access emails, which is one reason that we selected this park from the guide book. Guess we need to start inquiring about whether the WiFi is operational first thing before starting the check-in process whenever we arrive at any park. Other complaint was the constant truck noise from I-40 just a couple of hundred feet away. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Small park run by a friendly couple. We stayed there 2 years ago and returned because of the comfort level. Everything is clean and well managed! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Park had pull-thru sites, but they were not long enough to park our tow vehicle in line with our TT and our TT is only 29.5'. We had to park next to the TT which eliminated any use of an awning or picnic table. Although temps were in the 90's, the swimming pool was closed. Park roads were gravel and could use some grading. Park was OK as a base while we went out sightseeing, etc, but it definitely is not a destination campground. Campground hosts, who also handled registration, were very nice and friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice small park just 7 miles outside Amarillo. Sure beats the high price parks closer in. Free Wi-Fi. Great for a 2 night stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stopped here just for the night and will never do-so again! This park is filled with mostly old rigs that appear to be permanent residents of the park. The pull through was barely long enough to fit my 40' MH with a toad attached. The park looks very unkept, dirty, and the residents have stuff just sitting around. The sewer is not very convinient as the hose goes over landscaping ties and pools in the hose; the electric is on a very high post, dangerously close to the edge of the pull through. It would be very easy to hit the electric pole with a roadside slide. The park is next to I40 and is extremely loud with truck traffic. I would not recommend this park even though the price is cheap enough for an overnight stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice, no-frills overnighter...not too fancy and catering more to the older rigs and trailers...but if you just want a good night's rest and no litany of rules thrown at you, this is a fine stop. Managers were friendly and helpful...showed us to our spot and sold us (would have let us borrow if we'd wanted) a converter since our spot was 50A. Sites are grass/gravel and pretty level...rather close together and no landscaping, but that's par for the course in West Texas. At the back end of the campground was a barbequeing and kids' play area. Not much there, but it did have grass and shade trees. No designated dog area, but the field behind the park is in process of being upgraded with more sites (supposed to include an enclosed dog run eventually), so the dogs were welcome to go back there. Showers and toilet areas are old and about the size of the ones in our rig, but they were clean, and an obvious attempt had been made to pretty them up with geegaws. Decent size pool looked clean, but it was locked up when we got there...assume it is only open when the office is. There's a large rec area by the office that has a few supplies plus tables/chairs/TV and some basic exercise equipment. Park was dusty and gravelly but, again, you're in West Texas...and if you like stark views, you can see for miles around you. After all the improvments are completed, this should be a pretty good little RV park (but need cable TV at a minimum). We'd stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
