Confirmed from Recreation Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Lakefront park featuring a playground and a trail, plus sports fields and RV hookups.

Great surroundings & great walking trail for great exercise, also for walking your pets .
What a nice surprise in Pampa! Small and quaint. Nothing fancy but a good layout. We had a 45 ft Coach plus towing a Jeep. Plenty of room. You can’t beat the price of $15 per night weekdays Pretty lake and trail. We saw a cute chipmunk and heard lot of frogs. Highly recommend for a stop over in Pampa!!!!

I have been here for 8 days . 15$ weekdays 20$ weekends . Your RV will get water , electric , and waste dump . No sites are level but if you are experienced you can fix that . A small 2 acre pond is nearby with a concrete walking trail around it , a group of geese make it their home.
