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

Has everything you need in a camprground! Lots of ants, so watch out. It's a nice location right next to the lake. You can walk out onto of fish from the dock. There are restrooms available. Campsites have a picnic table under a roof. Hard ground so bring a pad. Couldn't even pound in stakes.
Overall, it is what it is..camp grounds; that said, each individual campsite has it's own positive and negatives. Our site, number four (4), was not build for two tents, but we managed to figure out how we could get them set up. We stayed for five nights and the best nights were when the other sites were empty. Sound travels really good and you can hear everyone. The Basion can be seen grazing just outside the campsite and can also be viewable across Lake Theo. Fishing was a bust for us, couple of bites but no catches. As for firewood, the only location we could find to buy it was the local towns Alsups convenient store, at 6 bucks and some changes. Would we revisit? Yes, already have reservations for later in the year!
Lakeside camping yes but there are some trees between campsites and the lake. Came in August, very hot one night but got breeze off the lake the second and it was nice. Lots of tiny ants! This is a fact of camping though and our tent stayed ant free. The sites are the closest together I've ever seen, we were only feet from our neighbors. The bathrooms were quite a walk and no showers but we used the showers a 2 min drive away at Honey Flat campground. Water works fine and is a nice feature for a walk in campsite. Shelter over the picnic table also nice for the midday sun and occasional rain drops.
not a complaint of any form but bring ear plugs if tent camping. the frog sound is insane
Well we wanted to go camping here, but every time you call they are booked up. Most camping locations don’t book up in the fall when temperatures are frigid at night. Don’t know if it’s worth the trip of waiting. Heck New Mexico and Colorado camping in the mountains is not that far away
