The long reads
The Amarillo guide
Amarillo sits on Historic Route 66 and is the gateway to Palo Duro Canyon, the second-largest canyon in the U.S. The city counts roughly 200K residents. Within day-trip range, two managed natural areas matter: Palo Duro Canyon State Park and Cadillac Ranch, both staffed and posted online with current camping rules. Diesel access along the main commercial corridor is best at U-Haul of Amarillo at 2912 W I-40 Frontage Rd, Amarillo, TX 79109; the same lot offers propane refill.
Amarillo KOA is the dump-station address most travelers cite ($10 non-guest). Plan arrival in April through May and September through October for the most stable window; avoid July through August. From here, two scenic routes worth a half-day diversion are Texas Plains Trail Scenic Drive and Route 66 historic corridor through Amarillo.
The recurring arrival error documented locally is underestimating high plains wind events on high-profile rigs — nws amarillo issues high-wind warnings 25+ days per year. For renters coming from out of state, Texas's broader RV-rule playbook starts with this municipal context: Amarillo Code Sec. 24-3-21 reads in tandem with the state's commercial-vehicle and rest-area policies. On the trip-planning side, Amarillo is a Route 66 anchor between Oklahoma City and Albuquerque.
When to come
Best: April through May and September through October — Texas High Plains shoulder season with comfortable temperatures.
Skip: July through August — heat index 100-105 F and Plains thunderstorm pattern.
