Talk about an alluring name for a tent-only campsite!

Cactus Campground is a small set of seven sites on the southern end of the park, near the equestrian campground, and over 10+ miles of trail. While shade shelters are provided, you’ll have to work a little bit for other amenities: showers are 1/2 - 2 miles away, and water is available at the campground, but not at each site. What’s camping without roughing it though?

Coyote Breaks Farm

7 sites · RVs, Tents42 acres · Wildorado, TX
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!

Bar Z Winery

1 site · RV10 acres · Canyon, TX
At the edge of Palo Duro Canyon, on the outskirts of Canyon, Texas you’ll find a hidden panhandle gem in Bar Z Winery. Not to be confused with a vineyard, Bar Z works with Texas High Plains vineyard owners and takes their high-quality Texas grown grapes and makes them into award-winning, full-bodied red wines. Founder and Vintner, Monty Dixon, would tell you he’s been making adult beverages since he was nine years old. In his elementary school library there was a book that gave crude instructions on how to make beer at home. Monty’s precocious and daring nature led to adventures in backyard chemistry. It wasn’t until his teens and young adult years that he would graduate to casual wine-making. But casual wasn’t enough for Monty. This is no vintner’s hobby house. Bar Z Winery combines art, science, and years of experience to create elegant wines. Monty’s passion and hard work go into every bottle making these entirely Texan wines contenders on the world stage. Bar Z Winery has competed against Napa Valley wines, French wines – often considered the greatest – yet their native Texan creations have taken home the gold. Much like his wine, Monty Dixon is unfiltered, robust, and wholly unique. If he has a free moment, he’ll happily bend your ear about the science of wine and Bar Z’s simple, yet effective philosophy: Let the wine be wine. Bar Z Winery prides itself on utilizing the unique Texas terroir to create a wine that expresses the hard work of the vineyard owners, the soil it was grown in, and the love of Texas shared by those who enjoy these unique, award-winning wines.

Jericho on 66

1 site · RV80 acres · Howardwick, TX
Schaffer Farm is a 80 acre farm with 10,000 sq. ft. market garden! Located off old Route 66 in the Texas Panhandle. Our fresh veggie season is from July through October or first freeze, offering corn, okra, squash, zucchini, tomato, variety of peppers, watermelon, cantaloupe and so much more. Our farm is far and wide, on a clear day our sunrises and sunsets are absolutely beautiful and can see for miles. HISTORY: Schaffer Farm - Located on Historic Route 66 "The Jericho Gap" and Ghost Town. The Township of Jericho was founded in the late 1880's as a stage coach mail stop to change horses and feed any passengers aboard, settlers began to gather at the end of the Red River Wars in the late 1870's. 1900-1902 Construction began on a railroad track built by the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Texas Railroad Company. The first official train ran on July 6, 1902 through Jericho, cattle loading facilities were constructed to accommodate nearby large ranches and huge water storage reservoir was built by the railroad to refill steam engines. Jericho became famous in legend and folklore after congress authorized a new coast-to-coast highway in 1926, calling it Route 66. It's passage through Jericho added prosperity with several gas stations, mercantile stores, Hotel (Historic Hotel Lyons) and tourist courts built to serve the travelers. "WHY JERICHO GAP" The main reason for fame came from the stretch of highway between Alanreed and Groom which went through Jericho, rains or snowy weather caused these dirt roads to turn into gumbo-like mud becoming almost impassable to the vehicles of the time and still stands true to this day. FAMOUS PEOPLE OF JERICHO: Carolyn Jones, who played fictional character Morticia Addams from the Addams Family television and film series (1964) J.W. "Digger" Howard - Recognized for his community efforts and contributions to Western Heritage and his love for Team Roping which led him to the board of one of the largest team roping associations in the state at that time, The Texas Roping Association. HISTORIC JERICHO CEMETERY: Established in 1894 after an unusual outbreak of Malaria killed several settlers. The cause was traced to stagnant water at the spring where drinking water at the spring was obtained. Improvements to the facility were made eliminating the stagnant water. This cemetery is still active and is listed on the Texas historic registry. SCHAFFER HISTORY: The Schaffer Family came this way in 1894, settling 1 miles north of Jericho had businesses at Jericho, born and raised and died at Jericho are considered Pioneers of their time. ACCESSIBILITY: Located off Interstate 40 and Highway 70, entrance to Schaffer Farm is at Highway 70 with Texas Flag right at the entrance. Our farm roads are not paved and is up to guest discretion as to whether your rig has sufficient clearance to make it in. If you have concerns please contact us for a road condition update, as ease of access can change with the weather. WEATHER: Accommodations during snow and rain will be monitored and travelers will be notified of alternate routes or alternate place to stay. We look forward to hosting you.

No longer exists. They have removed all of these sites from their current map, and 'Cactus' is no longer in the search options, sadly.

Wow! Did not expect to stumble across this canyon during our cross-country caravaning voyage. We walked around all day (bring sooooo much water) and saw one of the prettiest sunsets! Later this week we went to see the grand canyon, and though nothing compares to that, this canyon was in no way disappointing- it was very colorful and impressive!

Beautiful and decently secluded campsites. Each site comes with a fire pit and a little picnic shelter. The mosquitoes and flies can be bad around dusk, but go away with the sun. The park is pretty breathtaking and I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't been. If you're lucky, you might have a coyote howl wakeup call!

Good campsite for some quiet. The individual spots are pretty far apart so it was quiet and I didn't feel crowded at all. It was nice having the picnic table for cooking and eating. The camp isn't that close to the trails so I drove a short distance for daily hiking. There was a water source in the campsite only a short walk away. As noted in the description, the nearest restrooms and showers are about 3/4 of a mile away. I would stay here again.

A cold front blew in later that evening and the wind howled through the canyon all night. A perfect windy, clear and starry night at Fortress Cliff. I recommend pairing this site with a Black Butte Porter.

Your guide to camping in Cactus Campground

Overview

Biking

Biking around the scenic hill country that is Pedernales Falls State Park, there are amazing trails for mountain biking of all levels. For the more adventurous cyclist, test your mountain biking skills on the new Juniper Ridge Trail. This 10-mile technical, single track trail provides plenty of obstacles for more advanced riders.

Fishing

Fishing on the river is common at Pedernales Falls State Park. There is no fishing pier, but set up anywhere on the shoreline! You will most commonly catch catfish, bass, sunfish and carp in the Pedernales River. Catfishing is abundant following a river rise.

Hiking

Hiking around Pedernales is absolutely beautiful. There are seven trails within the park that range from .4 miles to 9 miles long. Take the Twin Falls Nature Trail and stop at the scenic overlook over the falls. Or tackle the six-mile Wolf Mountain Trail. This challenging trail wraps around Tobacco and Wolf mountains and winds along the small canyons created by Mescal and Tobacco creeks. Along the way, cool your heels at Arrowhead Pool, where Bee Creek spills into stair-stepped pools.

Horseback riding

Bring your horse to explore 10 miles of rugged trail. The trail is very rocky with some steep slopes. Due to the conditions of the trail, riding experience is required, as well as shoes for the horses. There are water troughs at the trailer parking area and at the midway point of the trail.

Climbing

There is rock climbing available on the Wolf Mountain Trail. The best spot is about a 20-minute hike in. Make sure you do not climb on the Twin Falls, as it's illegal and you will be fined.

Swimming

You can tube, canoe or kayak the river. Set up in at the swimming area or Trammell's Crossing Trail. For safety purposes, you are not allowed put-ins or take-outs in the Pedernales Falls area.
