Campo
Campo is the gateway to the Lesser Prairie-Chicken lek located on the Comanche Grasslands east of town, as well as to the well-known Picture Canyon and Carrizo and Cottonwood Canyons located at the foot of the Mesa de Maya west of town. This is a tiny town with few trees, but it is so isolated that significant migrants can be found here. Stop to have breakfast at the Campo Cafe and look for warblers and vireos in spring. A nice area with picnic tables and mature trees is located on the grounds of the town community center where you may see owls in the trees.
**NOTE: CPW will not disclose any lek locations due to the severe decrease in lesser prairie chicken populations. Restoration efforts are in place, however viewing opportunities are restricted in order to protect what numbers we do have.
