REVIEW: The Silos at Canyon RV Park near Palo Duro Canyon State Park.

We had a pleasant overnight stay at The Silos at Canyon RV Park in Canyon, Texas. It was on Friday evening in mid-July, just before sunset, when we got there.

I’m going to share with you my review of The Silos at Canyon RV Park for your future reference. There is no compensation for writing this review. We paid ourselves for the stay.

If you have followed us for a long time, you know that we like to make a reservation a few hours before the destination. We prefer to drive until we get tired or decide to stop at the next town.

But we wanted to stay in Amarillo or Canyon for this trip. We had to pick up our son from his band camp at WTAMU in Canyon, Texas. When he spent a week in the camp, we spent a week in Buena Vista, Colorado. So, it was a long day for us after leaving Buena Vista in the morning.

Here is my review of The Silos at Canyon RV Park.

How to reserve a site at The Silos at Canyon RV Park

We were around two hours away from Canyon, Texas, when my husband found and booked a campsite at The Silos at Canyon RV Park. 

I was driving when my husband searched for the RV Campgrounds near Amarillo TX, so I didn’t see any photos of the RV sites. He said The Silos is a small campground. It got positive reviews from campers who stayed there and a 4.5-star rating. 

Our teardrop trailer doesn’t have a toilet or shower. My husband knows a clean restroom is important to me. It’s not just clean but must be close to the site.

My husband said check and check.

We traveled with our dog Snoopy, and The Silos is a dog-friendly campground.

I reminded my husband to call the office so they knew we would arrive late. My husband said there’s no office. You do self-check-in anytime after 3 p.m. Check-out is at 11 a.m. No refunds. Interesting!

So, the reservation was easy peasy. Everything is online. You find the available site, book, and pay. The bathroom code and the WiFi password come in the confirmation email. Then check yourself in when you get to the campground.

Arriving at The Silos

City Lake Road, the campground’s location, is a straight, long road. It’s a nice drive to get to the RV Park. I wanted to take a picture of the road on the way out the next day, but GPS took us a different way to Palo Duro Canyon State Park.

The first thing that caught my attention was the campground was flat! There was no gate to the campground from the road. I wonder about the safety over the night.

Then, I saw two silos on the left. On the right side of the entrance was a house that I thought was where the owner lived. Later, I learned it was a guest house for rent, for the day or overnight.

My husband was driving when we arrived at the Silos. He memorized the campground map and knew where campsite number 9 was. That’s where we set up our trailer.

Sites 8 and 6 were occupied, as well as sites 11 and 12. These two sites looked like for long-time campers. There’s a tent camper at site 7.

Setting Up a Trailer at The Silos RV Park

As mentioned above, The Silos is flat. Setting up was easy. 

One thing stood up. The gravel space was long and spacious. It’s 70 ft. plus! I told my husband that a Class A Motorhome with a toy hauler would fit easily there.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t hot when we were there. It was windy, and we stayed outside longer, even after the sunset. But I do not know if it’s always like that in July. Maybe because Canyon is on the high plains?

Spending a Night at The Silos

We stayed outside enjoying the sunset until it got dark. It was in the 70s and windy. I don’t know if the overnight temperature in Canyon is always around the 70s in July.

There weren’t too many amenities we used besides the campsite itself, the bathroom, and the dog park.

I used the bathroom after midnight, and I felt safe. It was quiet, and no cars or eighteen-wheelers were passing by. 

After I used the bathroom, I looked up the sky, hoping to see the Milky Way. Unfortunately, The Silos at Canyon RV Park was not dark enough. Even though its location is outside the city, I could see the city lights from Amarillo on the horizon. Then, there’s a light pole near the guest house. It’s darker where we live in the south of Fort Worth. 

Snoopy enjoyed his time at the dog park.

Leaving The Silos

We left after hooking up the trailer and ensured nothing was left on the ground. There was no need to tell the camp host or leave a message online that we left the campground. 

The Silos at Canyon RV Park Amenities

– 12 spacious RV sites (10 long – 70 feet plus – pull-through and 2 back-ins.)

– Electric (20, 30, 50 amp.), water, and sewer hookups on each site.

– Picnic tables at each site.

– Dog park. (It’s pretty big. I left our dog unleashed there because no other dog was around.)

– Play area.

– Free high-speed WiFi. (Our WiFi connection was great! At the same time, there weren’t too many campers that night.)

– Laundry room. (It is by reservation only. We didn’t use it.)

– Tents sites.

– Quiet and no highway noise. (Proved!)

– Storm shelter on the property. (Thank goodness we didn’t have to use this facility.)

– Restroom/Shower houses. There are two separate unisex shower rooms. (The cleanest restroom/shower house I ever had! There’s a code to enter, so uninvited guests can’t use the facility.)    

– A fire pit with a cooking grate, picnic table, and other outdoor seating available in the common area.

The Restroom Review at The Silos at Canyon RV Park

There are two restrooms in the campground. Both are for men and women.

I used the restroom on the left but checked the one on the right. Both restrooms were clean during our stay. While the shower on the left used a sliding door, the one on the right still used a shower curtain.

The laundry room is in the restroom on the right. Inside, there’s another door to get into the laundry room. You can only use the laundry if you reserve it. We didn’t use the facility, so I couldn’t look inside because you need a code to open the laundry room door.

AC was running 24 hours at a set temperature. You can’t change it even if you feel warm or cold.

There are stairs to take you to the restrooms, but they are not handicap accessible.

Behind the restrooms is the only cabin in the campground. I do not know if you can hear the sounds from the restrooms if you stay in the cabin.

Pros of staying at The Silos

– The campground is small (only 12 sites,) so there aren’t too many campers.

– The site is so long that it will fit your toy trailer.

– The reservation process is fast.

– Self check-in.

– The bathhouse is clean.  

– It is around 20 minutes from Palo Duro Canyon State Park and 30 minutes from Amarillo.

– Reasonably priced ($48 per night during our stay.)

– No traffic sound overnight.

– Dog-friendly.

– Open for tent camping.

Cons of staying at The Silos

– It is a small campground that you may not get a site.

– There were flies when we ate, but they disappeared after that. None in the bathroom.

– Some people complained about the smell from the farm across the fence. We have yet to prove it.

Conclusion on staying at The Silos at Canyon RV Park

Do we want to stay at The Silos again? Absolutely!

It is a spacious, clean, dog-friendly, and not big RV campground. Moreover, it has a clean bathroom facility (the best so far) and no sound pollution.

It sounds like The Silos is less human contact, but sometimes it’s better.
