Overview
A brief introduction to Palo Duro Canyon State Park
Palo Duro Canyon is a canyon system of the Caprock Escarpment located in the Texas Panhandle near the cities of Amarillo and Canyon. As one of the largest canyons in the United States, it is roughly 25–40 mi (40–64 km) long and has an average width of 6 mi (9.7 km), but reaches a width of 20 mi (32 km) at places. Its depth is around 800 ft (240 m), but in some locations, valley bottom to surrounding hills increases to 1,000 ft (300 m). Palo Duro Canyon (from the Spanish meaning "hard stick") has been named "The Grand Canyon of Texas" both for its size and for its dramatic geological features, including the multicolored layers of rock and steep mesa walls, which are similar to those in the Grand Canyon. It is part of Palo Duro Canyon State Park. The State Park had 442,242 visitors in 2022.

Camper reviews for Palo Duro Canyon State Park
One of My Top Campgrounds
Canyon is the right word to describe this park as you drop down several hundred feet into the campground area. There's no cell service at all so you're really away from it all when you visit this beautiful park. The campground is neat and well-maintained with good-sized campsites. One of my favorites.
