Lower Plum Creek Campground

Five established campsites spread across an open area at the end of a dead-end road within Lake Meredith National Recreation Area. Each site includes a cement pad, dual picnic tables under overhead cover, steel fire ring, and charcoal grill. Two vault toilets serve the area, along with four horse corrals and hitching posts for equestrian campers.

Water is available for horses but not for human consumption. Recent wildfire damage affected many cottonwoods on the south side, though adequate downed trees provide firewood. The campground sits at 2,802 feet elevation with minimal tree cover and no cell service. Campers can explore dispersed areas around Lake Meredith National Recreation Area for additional primitive options throughout the recreation area.

Wide open, sunny and windy

Easy to find at the end of the road. Free 14 day limit. This is a horse friendly park. Open area with not many trees. One of thirteen primitive camping areas in the Lake Meredith National Rec Area. 2802 ft elevation. Five established campsites. Cement pad, dual picnic tables under overhead cover. Steel fire ring, charcoal grill. Two vault toilets, four horse corrals and hitching posts. Water for horses but not for campers. No cell or wifi service. Adequate downed trees for firewood. Most of the Cottonwoods on the south side of the camp are dead due to 2024 wildfire damage. The Texas sun worked great on my solar and my sunburn.
