Pole Canyon Ranch is obviously heavily geared toward equestrian use but as a hiker I still found it to be great place to visit. Being allowed to go offtrail and explore made it a lot of fun for us and we saw some beautiful scenery. Its about a 15 minute drive to Caprock Canyon and would be a good option if the park is full. As a plus, the showers and restrooms are in much better shape than at Caprock Canyon. The only reason for 4 stars is the tent camping area. Its just next to the RV area and there is nothing there, no picnic tables, fire pit etc.
