"Wish they would change the name to Meridian State Park instead of just Meridian on here. Very nice, small, peaceful park. There are 8 pull thru sites with full hookups, including 50 amp. "
"Meridian SP is such a hidden gem. If you’re not a fan of the Texas heat they just added one limited use cabin in addition to RV, tent and screened shelter sites."
$18 - $70 / night
"This Texas state parks is one of favorites. I have been quite a few times since I was a kid and it never gets old. It is just inside of Glen Rose, Texas, located along the Paluxy river."
"On my quest to visit many different Texas State Parks, this one was a great one and one that I would surely return to!"
"It has been raining non stop all over Texas. I began to look for places within 2 hours of Fort Worth. Texas State Parks are a great. I settled on Lake Whitney."
"This park is a great go-to if you live in Texas – centrally located and quick to access from most major cities."
"* Water facets near most sites.
Most sites a quite private with trees between them. There are 2 bathrooms, and a porta-potty. 2 boat ramps, and pavilions over the picnic tables."
"Beautiful lake."

"The hidden gem of Lake Whitney. Tent sites are tucked in the back of the park away from foot traffic and most vehicles."
"I had a spot right next to the lake where I kayaked, biked, and just walked with the dogs. Highly recommend!"
"Entry gate closes at 10pm, but there is an exit gate always open. My visit was during a Texas’ rainy stretch and lake levels were on the rise flooding out the lower sites."
"Gorgeous view of the lake with nearby restroom. Drive a bit further than the pinned location towards the lake on the right. I saw a few other tenters, car campers, and RVs."

"Cedron Creek park set off Lake Whitney , outside of Whitney , TX . We had lot 27 , the back of the loop. Kinda secluded. Threw out corn and the deer come in and feed along with squirrels ."
"Some sites are a little close together and not many are close to water."
$20 - $450 / night
"We decided to stay at Cleburne for spring break because it was one of the few Texas state parks with sewer hookups (which we wanted for a week long stay). We were pleasantly surprised!"
"If it's been raining, the spillway has several waterfalls and you can swim next to them! The lake is ok to paddle, but it's a little small. Watch out for poison ivy along the trails."
$16 - $80 / night
"This is one of the better COE campgrounds on Lake Whitney."
"We stayed at site 63 which is right on lake edge. Amazing sunsets. Across inlet from boat ramp. The sites have covered picnic tables with both fire pits with grates and stand up covered grills."
ScoutWe loved the trees and nice wide slips. Nice not to be within 5 feet from your neighbor. Restrooms nice and clean. Appreciate the friendly management. We felt very welcome. We would look forward to staying there again and we recommend it to other travelers!
GuideVery nice campground right off I35. Easy to get to and very very clean. Staff friendly and helpful.
TravelerNice open area for camping ...protected boat ramp and can park boat near some camp sites
GuideEasy to get here, This place has pull through sites, full hookups, dump and water available. Big rig friendly, made the reservation online, it's not free but needed some electricity to survive thr texas heat. There's a creek closed by and fishing available for guests.
ScoutOriginally booked 2 nights but we were tired out and wanted to rest so we booked 2 more nights The Park is very nice, grass js cut, nice bathroom and shower. Nice cedar and oak trees. Grocery and supplies nearby. Lots of deer to watch Great place to relax Some sites have a covered table and lakeside sites have a steep downhill pad Our rear bumper in site 34 is 9.5 inch higher than the hitch Some rigs might have trouble getting level
GuideSoldiers bluff is a nice little Corp of Engineers campground next to Whitney dam and across from the Corp headquarters. Campground is grassy and covered with shade tree canopies. Campsites can be quite close together, offering little privacy. Picnic tables are provided, but bring your own canopy.
With rain, the park does become flooded, especially encroaching the day use picnic areas.
Additional notes are lots of highway noise, be prepared to hear the spillway siren sounding when the lake is high as flood gates get opened.
Very nice camp hosts that check on campers daily and after storms, etc.
GuideReally pretty free sites right on the water. Sign said you can stay up to 10 days. Bathrooms only with toilets and no running water. They are not the cleanest. Only thing I wasn’t prepared for was all of the geese around the park. They are very loud and will annoy for food. One almost attacked me as my boyfriend and I were cooking dinner. Overall it was alright for a free nights stay.
ScoutIt's nice and quiet Not much for any type of cell service, ESPECIALLY AT&T
GuideI would not recommend the spots directly on the waterside. Very windy. There are a lot of mosquitos but overall nice people very crowded and very windy.
