    Sanford-Yake Campground — Lake Meredith National Recreation Area

    Great free spot

    This campground has paid and free sites.
    Free sites are dry camping with no hookups. Most of the free sites are gravel and not level.
    Our site was on the cliff overlooking the lake and dam.
    A shelter is in each site and we spent time using it to get outside.
    We were here on a Friday and Saturday in September and there were quite a few campers. It was not full. Great place for a few days

    Plum Creek — Lake Meredith National Recreation Area

    Perfect spot

    We are traveling through from CO to AR and needed a place to stay for one night. We found Plum Creek and decided to check it out. The middle campground was perfect - we were the only ones there. Very clean vault toilet right by the site, trash cans clean and empty at camp. There were open range cattle nearby but they were just curious and didn't bother us. We loved our stay and will keep this in mind for future trips passing through. Beautiful sunset views too!

    Texhoma Park Campground

    Great Overnight Spot

    A parking lot with 20 electric hook-up sites in a municipal setting.  There's a dog park, a playground for kids or a picnic.  Dump station and water available plus several dumpsters.

    The only downside is the trains that run all hours and blow horns as they pass the intersection right outside the park.  

    We were in a camper van and would stay there again.

    Convenient Stopover

    This RV Campground was very conveniently located on our route out of Texas. It was clean with well maintained camp sites. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

    Our site was at the end, away from the street, and it was quiet with some shade.

    We would definitely stay here again.

    Corral RV Park (Dalhart)

    Excellent, clean, and safe.

    There are many positive reviews about this place and I have to say they are true. Very clean and safe for a Solo Traveler. Two places to shower, use the one connected to the office as it has better water pressure. Excellent playground for families. All pull through sights for travelers. Really glad I stayed here and would definitely stay here again.

    Wish I could rate higher

    We probably had unrealistic expectations given the reviews about homemade pies and breakfast. There was none of that. The owners said they had been ill. It seems to have been quite an ordeal for them, and it has been going on a good while. I'm sorry for their misfortune. The owner who was able to come to the door went out and brought us little frozen pies that were supposedly homemade. Well, she tried.

    The good was that the site was level and the utilities worked. It was quiet. The bad was the bathrooms/showers badly need paint, renovation and a good cleaning and the whole place looks pretty sad and in disrepair. 

    There are very few RV places in the area, and this place would be OK in a pinch, but it's best to lower expectations and hope the owners feel better soon. They seemed like nice women.

    Nice Free Resting place

    We stopped for 1 night on our trip from Albuquerque to our home in Michigan. Level parking area and clean pit toilets. No water available.

    I'm sure it's prettier when the Grass is Green

    Quick, one-night stopover. Adequate for what I needed. Toilets, but no shower or water. One big rig was there when I arrived, and a cartop tent camper arrived after dark. Again, fine for me in my teardrop.

    Friendly Service

    We called about an hour out to get a site. Super friendly and helpful with dinner recommendations. Fairly quiet area and every site is a pull through

    Easily accessible, pull through sites, full services, restaurants

    Have stayed multiple times overnight. Friendly staff, one block from town, restaurants. Nice level sites with pads. Handles big rigs, full services. Highly recommend for short stays, can’t say for long stays.

    Fritch Fortress Campground

    Beautiful campground

    The spots are a good distance apart but there’s no trees or anything offering privacy. The bathrooms have jail like showers, but I didn’t use them so I’m not sure what they’re like. There are trash cans at each site, covered picnic tables and fire pits, and a spigot near the bathrooms. Much better suited for car/tent camping than for large rvs as the sites aren’t pull in. You just park in a wide spot on the road near your picnic table.

    Bugbee — Lake Meredith National Recreation Area

    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.

    Bugbee — Lake Meredith National Recreation Area

    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.

    Great stop, peaceful and quiet

    This is a bare bones campground but was a good, quiet stop on our drive. There are composting toilets, trash cans, picnic tables, and bbqs. Clean and just what we needed

    Fritch Fortress Campground — Lake Meredith National Recreation Area

    Great night stay

    We stayed here overnight. The views were breath taking for sure. This is a park but you are able to camp there. We were the only ones we seen staying at the park.

    The park does have a boat ramp. There are also flushable toilets and a showers. We did not end up using the showers so not sure if they were any good or not.
