    Such a gem of a campground. We were there last July on our way to Colorado and did get to see Texas. It was a wonderful stay and we are very eager to go back.

    I saw the show you mentioned back in the early 70's, I was about 12 yrs old , It was great! I just subbed after watching your Possum Kingdom video. Love the drone footage also! My wife especially likes when you show the best campsites.

    That was a great video! We haven’t RV camped there since 2006. We need to go visit again and take our bikes this time. We aren’t avid mountain bikers either, but those trails y’all rode looked very doable.

    Thanks for sharing. We're partial to that Juniper camping loop. We camped there in early 90's and took our Mom and Dad with us. We enjoyed it very much. There use to be a small train ride there at the time and we also went horseback riding. If you go early spring it will freeze on you at times.

    Michael is a gifted writer and videographer. Every video is informative and enjoyable! I am proud to say that we are honored to travel with them sometimes, and they are like our children and dear friends. I agree with y'all about traveling the back roads to a destination; we much prefer the "less traveled" route, as well. Those were some amazing views, and I enjoyed hiking with you two (from my comfy arm chair). We are looking forward to our next trip together to Queen Wilhelmena SP soon.

      Well, in case you didn't already know, the park is a little over 8 miles long from one end to the other so I'm not sure how well a scooter tour would work for Palo Duro anyway. There are plenty of camping loops to explore though! Palo Duro is now our favorite state park---love it! You will too!

      @@SunsetSeekers San Angelo has something like 15 miles of paved road and I did OK with that and that was before the second battery, so 8 miles is very doable, it is the down hill grade that I am most worried about!
      I will figure it out when we get there. We are headed to Dangerfield SP next weekend that will be the last park in north east Texas!

I'm a low budget TH-cam content creator right now. LOL! I use a DJI OSMO 2 gimbal in concert with a Samsung Galaxy S7 cell phone for my timelapse and motionlapse videos but I have just purchased a GoPro Hero White 7 that I film most of my footage with now and I have recently purchased an adapter so that I can use my GoPro with my DJI gimbal.

      I'm not sure exactly how long you can stay at a Texas state park. Christy and I are not full-timers, we just vacation in our rig. Unless you plan on becoming a park host I don't think you can stay for more than a week. I would recommend calling the state park, they are normally very helpful and Informative over the phone.

    My learning at Palo Duro is to start my truck on low gear when going up the canyon road, even lower than the first gear below drive. It was nerve wracking as my F250 was barely moving and I had my foot all the way down. But we made it. I guess another learning is that the trails sometimes are easier than indicated on the trail map. We stayed away from the Rock Garden trail because of its rating. On the day before we left, we walked it and it was great! Thank you for your video.

    We live about 30 minutes from PD Canyon, have been many times. A couple of things to be aware of: make reservations way in advance - we couldn't get in last year or the year before because they were booked solid; and beware of the late spring and summer heat - it can literally kill you down on the floor, no joke. Also, summer rains can, and often do, cause dangerous flooding, especially at the back-end campsites.

      Once upon a time, like 30 years ago, you could just pull up to the check in and book a RV site for the week. Chances of that happening anymore are slim - but that's good because so many families are getting to really experience our gem.
