Arrived 16:15, 12 March 2024. $15 fee, with our Texas Parks Pass. Great park just off I-20. Easy in/out. We’ve stayed here many times, and this stay was one-nite while transiting west. Lovely, unique environment. Far enough off I-20 and dunes high enough to mitigate most I-20 noise. Surrounding facility lighting significantly impacts the dark, nite sky. Park was full when we arrived, being Spring break week. All picnic area lots were full, and campground was fully booked. Plenty of tenters this time. Restrooms were clean, but they looked like it had been a busy day. Campsites were clean, and trash cans had been emptied later in the day. Camp host was active keeping sites clean, and turning away drive ins. Site 003 is a pull thru, but it is more than 3 Leveler blocks off level, front-to-back. Will not stay in this site again, but will return.

We only stayed one night on our way from Davis Mountains headed to Goodfellow AFB. Sites are close but level, at least Site 1 was level. Water and electric only but site 1 is the closest to the bath house which was clean and had a heater in the bitter cold. The sand dunes are fun but beware of all the stickers especially if you have a dog. We had to pick several out of our dogs paws.
Met some fun people and the staff was great!

It is a small campground, w/e each site and a dump station. Place is kept nice. Some of the sites are laid out kinda weird with the shade/table....DO NOT reserve site 2! It is the worst spot in the park. It's very small and doesn't line up with the shade/table. It encroaches on site 1.
Very quiet and peaceful!

A great campsite with level spaces and a nice loop for navigating the larger site. Quiet, clean, well-maintained. We really enjoyed watching the sunset at this stop on the way to Big Bend. The a/c works great in the super arid environment. It was very comfortable even in 100 degree temps. Highly recommend!

This is an easy stop on your way across Texas. We had a fairly level, pull through, with full hookups for only $25, quite the deal. The sand hills are interesting and makes it worth your stay.

It was a neat place to visit once, for us seniors, but we'll seek better comfort elsewhere next time.

On our previous stay we rented discs and slid down the dunes- lots of fun!

Site price is with a TX State Park pass ($70). We had site 7. It was not totally level and we had to use blocks. The picnic table was out in the sand with no cover. NOTE: every other site has a covered picnic table on a cement floor. The wasn't much room to park our truck. We had satellite with Dish but only 1 bar with Verizon but did a little better with our WeBoost. I didn't find the staff in the visitor center to be terribly friendly. Pro: you can walk anywhere you want around the dunes which was great. I wouldn't return to this area. There is absolutely nothing in the town of Monahans.

We stayed for a few nights and enjoyed ourselves. Plan for everything to be covered in sand by the time you leave including you and the outside of your entire camper. We got caught in a sand storm one night and it truly got sand everywhere. Definitely recommend an air compressor to blow off your slides. Great showers to clean off with though with plenty of hot water and great water pressure. They were relatively clean as well.
The Junior ranger program was a bit lacking. They said they might get their own books in the future but that for the time being, they have the same books as other Texas State Parks without a book of their own.
We had a great time hiking the sand dunes with our golden retriever. Just stay out of the vegetation on the dunes and you should be able to avoid most of the little stickers that get stuck in their paws.
Overall, great stay and would recommend!

Monahans Sandhills is a beautiful state park right off the highway. We had a reservation for 2 nights but arrived early and stayed in the Primitive Overflow picnic area. The site required you to be self contained. The spot was beautiful and private. Unfortunately a few minutes into setting up our dog had collected several goat heads (not the correct name, but similar annoyance). We removed them and put on her booties for a walk. This definitely was not a solution - see picture. Ultimately, we canceled the next two days and hit the road. The park is beautiful but not for dogs.
