This diminutive SP is conveniently located off of I-20 and well worth a night’s stay. Beautiful sunset and a pleasant early morning walk. Will definitely overnight again when heading out west.

Easy access off I-20. Clean site. They are a little close together, but I doubt they get full. Most sites are right are right on the edge of the sand.

Second time for us here.
Great sites on the dunes, prepare to get sandy.
Water and electricity is good.
Close to town but nothing special there.
Went to a few bars and restaurants in town that’s aren’t worth revisiting.
Good stop for where you are.

People stay here because when traveling across west Texas there are limited spots to choose from, depending on your route.
The dunes are cool but that is all there is. No hiking, etc. so probably one day is enough for most people.
The town 15 minutes away has all the basics including a large grocery store, at least two hardware stores, a Tractor Supply, liquor and laundromats, plus many of the usual chain restaurants. So you can readily resupply.
Cell service is poor in the campground. Verizon sometimes had as many as three bars but most of the time it was one bar, and the service often didn’t work at all....even with a booster. ATT was better.
Most sites seem to have electric and water. None have sewer but there up is a dump station.

Sand dunes every where. Like the dunes on Lake Michigan! Otherworldly feeling about the place.

Sand dunes everywhere. Winter storm was on its way so we left after 1 night. High winds would make this campground a nightmare due to the sand.
Helpful staff, clean campground and lots of hot water in the shower

This was our 2nd visit here. Last year we visited and reviewed with a 33’ TT. This year we returned with a 42’ 5th wheel.
The pull throughs become back in parallel parking if someone is parked in the space behind you. Fine for us. But we witnessed three other fifth wheels have issues while there. So if you are pulling 35’ or less you’ll have less issues with that. If you are bigger and good with backing, you’ll be fine in the longer spaces.
The sand has always seems to have expanded quite a bit into the pull through spaces. Making it very hard to keep our wheels out of the very soft sand and still clear the electric post. Just be conscious when pulling in. Our dually would have gotten stuck for sure.
The other reason for a 3 star review is simply the lack of things to do in the park and area. Once you wander the dunes, and slide down them. That’s it. The town is depressed and Odess is 35 mins away. So two nights are more than enough time spent here.
Side note: the trash cans were overflowing for two days as well, which is odd for Texas state parks.

Arrived late and self served for payment.
Staff the next morning were kind and helped us buy a toboggan.
Water and power hookups with hot showers nearby.
What a memorable stop for play in the Sandhills with camping adjacent.
Definitely recommend!
Wind can get going, Mind your awnings.
Enjoy!

We stumbled upon this park while driving through the middle of nowhere Texas. All we wanted was an easy place to spend a single night and we got even more than we had hoped. A nice level paved site with power & water hook-ups, a view of the dunes, and an awesome sunset to top it all off. While I wouldn't say this is a destination state park where you would want to spend a whole week, for a single night stay it was pretty fantastic!
