The best camping near Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument guide

Overview

About

Walk in the footsteps of mammoth hunters at the Alibates Flint Quarries. 13,000 years ago, these prehistoric people dug for rainbow-colored flint to use for arrowheads. Today, you can explore the ancient pits—no digging required.

Lace up your walking shoes and head out on the park's excellent Ranger-guided hikes. As you walk, the Ranger will explain the history of the quarries. If it's hot, cool off with a short movie in the visitor center. Keep an eye on the calendar; the arrowhead-making demonstrations are fascinating for the whole family. Kids can also earn badges in the Junior Ranger program.

The best time to visit is October, during Texas Archaeology Month. The weather is pleasant and sunny, so hiking is a breeze. Rangers lead hikes to the Antelope Creek Village site—the home of the mammoth hunters. The best part? Alibates is one of the least-visited monuments, so you'll have the hills to yourself.

Right next to the quarries, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area has 11 different campgrounds. Whether you're in an RV or a tent, it's a breeze to find a beautiful site. Bring your fishing rod or boat to enjoy the water. There's also hiking, horseback riding, and hunting to keep the whole family entertained.
