What was not to like. It was early May. The weather was perfect, full moon, cool nights. Great views. We carried our horses and rode for the weekend. Park personel were very informative. Very much worth the 8 hr drive and highly recommend it to horse people. Great horse camp and trails. Primative camping but anything else would interfer with the setting. We will be returning in the spring of 2010.
This is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. If you go down into the creek beds to hike when you look up at the canyon it is like nothing you can imagine. The different colors striped throughout the walls is amazing. Very well worth going to see. If you get lucky enough to see the bison it will almost bring tears to your eyes that these ...

A highlight of a long roadtrip
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/30/07
We recently spent one night at Caprock Canyons as we passed through Texas on a 6000+ miles camping roadtrip. We felt so fortunate to be there. The scenery was wonderful,the campsites private and spacious, but the most outstanding thing to me was the DARK. It happened to be on a new moon, plus there's little lighting at the campsites. ...
The trial from "Monk's Crossing" to the "Clarity tunnel" is 4.5 miles of easy walking but personaly it is better taken on mountain bikes as the trail is very flat and straight. there are some very interesting sights to see. It is usually a wonderful place for true solitude, as there aren't many who take the trip. Packing ...

Great Camping Trip
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/26/07
We really enjoyed the 5 days we spent camping at the Caprock Canyons State Park. The hiking trails ranged from basic to moderately challenging and the scenery was beautiful. Tomas took us on a great horseback trail ride through the canyons which I highly recommend. The campsites were nice and we didn't have any problems with varmints (namely ...

Worth a long drive to see!

When you drive into Caprock Canyons and the road first starts to descend, you'll feel like you're driving into one of the fabled canyons of the American West. The vistas keep opening up all around you, with fantastical rich red earth tones and vegitation in all different shades of green. The wonder continues when you get out and start ...

A peaceful place to visit.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/28/05
Caprock canyon state park is a beautiful place to visit. There is alot of wildlife, including bison. For anyone that has never seen bison in its natrual setting, it is a marvelous view. The fishing is also good.
Caprock State Park is a little hard to find, but once you do find it you will hate to leave. It is a peaceful place to be, you can forget your troubles and enjoy the nature.
