Great spot

This was a great spot right next to the lake.  with that being said, be careful of the fire ants, mosquitoes at night, and the flies in the morning.😝 they however only took of a 1/2 point from my original rating. It was really a great spot. Bring a shade tent. It is out in the open no shade at the location we were at.

SiteI have no idea what spot. we drove until we found a space with privacy / distance from others .

Gorgeous and free!!

Nothing wrong with this spot in any way shape or form. Lots and lots of bugs and critters. We were greeted in the morning by mowers and people picking up trash, but that’s a fantastic sign of a campsite well taken care of, so no complaints from me. In the night, we got to hear coyotes and we heard the scurrying feet of a raccoon or possum. Designated fire pits and a picnic table for each site. Check the site for ant mounds first!! The ants in Texas are bigger too I guess lol. There were also plenty of places for horses so that was awesome. Each site was large enough for an RV or camper.

Sitethe first one on the loop

Kayak Time

Great location to launch a kayak, canoe or SUP. 

Spotty Verizon and ATT service. 

This is a primitive campground but there is a pit toilet and trash. You can also find fire rings. This area has a large open field to camp in. The draw is the peace you will find. PLEASE NO GRAFFITY. Most of the road in is paved but it does turn to gravel. There is a small marina with ice and bait. It also has a small fishing dock

Nice place to camp

If you are looking for a place to have more private space, bugbee is one of the best places to camp. Always has less campers than other places at Meredith lake. Will not get 5 stars because don’t have water availability.
