Caprock Canyons State Park

This was kinda of a wild camping trip. We kept being chased away by chill bison. They were there and weren’t going to be moving anytime soon so we went elsewhere. There was a bison in the middle of the hiking trail and when we got back to camp a big bison was just laying around our camp. We also got yelled at by prairie dogs and I pretty sure Bear conned us into taking things out of his pack.

Caprock Canyon State Park is home to the Texas State Bison Herd. Besides them being in inconvenient places we had no issue with the bison, that being said, we did not get close to them. They are dangerous animals and deserve respect. On our last day near the entrance we saw some bison calves and they were so cute!

Caprock Canyons State Park is beautiful and remote. I would go back in a heartbeat. There are some great hiking trails that we didn’t have the opportunity to hike this trip because of some lingering ankle injuries, we didn’t want to risk getting hurt on the trail. If you do choose to camp here, make sure to make reservations. Despite its remote location this is a popular park due to its beauty.

Happy camping, respect the wildlife, and leave no trace. Safe travels!
