Back Forty RV Park

We travel in a pickup truck with a camper pulling a trailer. We go coast to coast, north to south and much prefer mom & pop types of RV parks. This park is convenient off 287. Online booking very easy. Beautiful sunset, mostly dark skies for those who enjoy Star gazing! Office sent text message with site number 8 and said the office would be closed at 5:00pm. Great communication. There were numerous washes and dryers and a bath house we did not use. There were several covered cool hang spots, though it appeared not kept up. Definitely has potential. And it’s a lovely story behind the park. Flip side: 1. Though site 8 was a roomy end space, it is next to the open, stinky trash dumpster, it also had at least 17 red ant active holes. 2. It was one of the rare sites with a picnic table, thought the table was very dirty. I would put a throw away table cloth over it. 3. The dog park enclosure was just across the gravel drive. It has a cattle gate entrance, so if you have smaller dogs, be vigilant. 4. A bit rough gravel roads. We were happy it was dry as it appears it would be quite mucky in wet weather as evidenced by the ruts and many patched areas- very grateful they try to keep up with that. 5. It appears to be mostly full time residents including those who work near by. Many were tired older RV’s. On the other hand it’s great folks have a place to call home. 6. The trains do run nearby and the only time they really laid on the horns were about 6.00am, so if you need a wake up call, this works! Bottom line, there aren’t many RV parks along 287 and this one is a good overnight park.

Stayed for one night while on the road. Easy to book a space on-line. Park was quiet and clean. Would stay again when in the area.

Good convenient rv park. Good power and gravel level sites. Only draw back are the roads into and around park have many potholes so go slow into park. Reasonable $$ and easy access off and onto hwy. 287

Very nice overnight stop. There are some amazing things to do in Quanah! The RV park was nice - level and good size pull through, full hook up sites. New park in the middle of the desert without trees but they have planted trees. Great dog area, fenced and grassy. Staff was very courteous and even asked if we wanted a site by the dog park when we mentioned our 2 dogs. Easy on and off 287.

Was a wonderful stay. The owner went above and beyond. We were evacuated from Copper Brake State Park due to a wild fire. She had two sights available for myself and friends. Would come back here anytime I am in this area.

Nice clean and new park. Made a late reservation online and a packet was ready when we arrived. We had a problem with our 50 amp and someone came right over and fixed it in the dark. Guy was super nice and friendly.

Very nice rv park with full hook ups. Enjoyed chatting with the very kind owner. Very quiet and well maintained rv spots and although we didn’t bring our dog this trip thought the fenced dog park was a nice addition. Only thing lacking was shade. Very convenient location right off the highway. We liked it enough to book a night stay for our return trip.

This is a very nice park. The dog park is well kept. The owner/operators are very friendly and welcoming. From time to time they host local entertainment. The gravel sites appear to have been recently re-graveled and are nicely leveled. The internet WiFi is very good for everyday usage. If you want to stream tv or movies you can either upgrade the service (at cost) or use the very good cellular reception (5G). (We have unlimited T-Mobile service.) It is a couple blocks from the trains and this didn’t bother us that much. We stayed here for one night the end of May.

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in back-in full hookup site #13. Site was filled with large gravel rocks and it was mostly level. We appreciated the 50 amp plug on the electrical post. The husband and wife team that owns this campground are incredibly nice people. During check-in they gave us several brochures on local places of interest. Excellent private bathrooms and showers. Laundry area has 3 washers and 3 dryers and the best part is that they are 100% free of charge! That is a very rare RV park experience indeed. Two of the machines are large-capacity LG HE energy efficient models. They were even able to accommodate our bedroom comforter. Wow! My AT&T phone had 4 strong bars and my wife's Verizon phone had 5 bars. The local FOX station programmed successfully as an over-the-air TV channel. Free wifi worked at the site and it was excellent. Super high 40+ mph winds hit on our second night along with thunder and lightning and it was a scary experience! One of the owners mentioned the next day that guests are welcome to stay in the bathroom/laundry building during strong weather events. United Supermarket grocery store down the street is above average for a small town. We wanted to visit the Hardeman County Historical Museum but sadly it is closed until November 6th.

We are returning eastward from a 7 week cross country trip and were looking for a place to spend the night as we did the long drive from Albuquerque across Texas (which is a huge state!) Back 40 was conveniently located, right off the highway with level pull through spaces and full hookups so we could spend a restful night without even unhitching the trailer. A bonus was the super clean bathrooms and the dog park with grass. After several weeks with no grass to wonder in, real grass was great for our pups. Native to Arizona, New Mexico and Texas is a prickly weed called goat head that has been a painful paw nuisance for over a week. Back 40 has taken time to ensure this plant was not in their dog park and my dogs sure appreciated that!
