The sites overlook the beautiful Canadian River breaks to the north with wide open skies to the west and east to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. These are rustic sites with no improvements. We are just getting started with this so you’ll be able to help us from the ground up. If we are not in a burn ban you’re welcome to have a campfire. There will be opportunities to call up a wild coyote or watch some mule deer or an occasional antelope stroll by. You could even be awakened by the horses on their way to water in the morning and we can set up some horse riding if we have enough notice to schedule time off from the 9-5 haha. Can’t wait to see you on the prairie!

Overview

About

Walk in the footsteps of mammoth hunters at the Alibates Flint Quarries. 13,000 years ago, these prehistoric people dug for rainbow-colored flint to use for arrowheads. Today, you can explore the ancient pits—no digging required.

Lace up your walking shoes and head out on the park's excellent Ranger-guided hikes. As you walk, the Ranger will explain the history of the quarries. If it's hot, cool off with a short movie in the visitor center. Keep an eye on the calendar; the arrowhead-making demonstrations are fascinating for the whole family. Kids can also earn badges in the Junior Ranger program.

The best time to visit is October, during Texas Archaeology Month. The weather is pleasant and sunny, so hiking is a breeze. Rangers lead hikes to the Antelope Creek Village site—the home of the mammoth hunters. The best part? Alibates is one of the least-visited monuments, so you'll have the hills to yourself.

Right next to the quarries, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area has 11 different campgrounds. Whether you're in an RV or a tent, it's a breeze to find a beautiful site. Bring your fishing rod or boat to enjoy the water. There's also hiking, horseback riding, and hunting to keep the whole family entertained.
