We spent the night at Loves in Amarillo after using the walky-talkys to determine whether Loves or Flying J had better gas prices. Flying J won the gas prize but Loves was a more scenic place to stay J We thought about leaving real early and then decided not. I think it was a good decision since we would have been driving into the sun. Chris has a great Scenic Byways book that suggested that early morning or late afternoon was the best time for a particular drive
Along the way south to Palo Duro I saw a large modern church with a 20 foot high banner across the front…PRAY FOR RAIN… this area of Texas is in the midst of a great drought.
Arriving at the Park before Chris, I found there were two campgrounds.. a 30 amp for $23 and a 50 amp for $25. I took two spots at the 30 amp campground and then, after checking both campgrounds drove clear back to the entrance to change to the Mesquite campground. It is open with clear views of the surrounding cliffs… well worth the extra $3.
By the way… if you were born before September 1st 1930 you can camp FREE at any Texas State Park.
