"McDowell Campground is a pleasant little campground on the shore of Lake McClellan right in the middle of the Texas panhandle."
"Discovered the lakeside sites after setting up camp."
"This is the perfect place for quiet, secluded tent camping. The sites were spread apart a nice distance, each with a picnic table. Pit toilets centrally located."
"FCFS
FREE
Horse corral with hitching post, pit toilet, trash, some covered picnic tables, and fire ring. This is a very open site and would be great for a trail ride."
"The cost is 20.00 a night for an RV, but tent camping is free. The grounds were well kept and mowed, very clean. There is traffic as people drove through the site but no one stayed overnight."

Tent camping, picnic table, trash, pit toilet, NO WATER
Located on a gravel road right off the highway. It is a bit rough. There is a small pond/lake and the water level is a bit low. The campground is surrounded by Texas grasslands and is so pretty. There is a small day use area with a pit toilet. Very small tent sites and not level. There is some shade and you can see another campground just across the lake.

GuideThe 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.

This is a pretty good campground especially since it is Free. You have a stay limt of 14 days and who doesn't need to kick back and just enjoy the simple pleasures of doing nothing. There is no water but you will have picnic tables with shelters for the tables, fire ring, trash and a pit toilet. You have a lot of shade around the perimenter of the campground which makes it nice. There is no electric but who needs it. You should have plenty of time to hike the grasslands, find a great fishing spot around the lake. We are looking forward to a return trip to spend more time around the lake. Hunting is another reason to check this place out.

The boat ramp is open and great for "small" boats. Beautiful sunsets, picnic table, shade shelters, grills, trash cans, fire ring. There is no water, no flush toilets. This campground is more suited for tents but there is an area by the boat ramp where folks could boondock.
Thank you Texas, you are amazing.

GuideThere are various campgrounds around Lake Meredith. Blue West is on the opposite side from the city of Fritch side. Contrary to some pictures here, it does NOT have access to the water. No docks, no ramps, no water for filling, no electricity. Those are at other spots, not Blue West. It is up in a cliff over looking the lake. That said, it was very empty in July. And being so high up, I was afraid the winds were going to tear my popup canvas. It's a beautiful spot. Nothing wrong with it at all. Just those Texas winds! Shelters have two picnic tables in them. So, there is some shade. The pics are views of the lake from my campsite. So is the video
GuideWe stayed at this campsite on our journey out west it’s right on Lake Mary is a very large man-made reserve the campsite has access to a boat ramp there are about 10+ primitive sites all with picnic tables no grills and there is currently a fire ban otherwise fires would be allowed but the firemen I believe is most of the state of Texas we stayed here on 107° day so be mindful there’s very little shelter even under the covered picnic tables highly would recommend not being outside during dusk as a plethora of insects will come and they can get quite aggressive but once the sun settle down so did the bugs and we had a lovely evening it does get very hot here as you are in the middle of Texas and there is no water available pit toilets were excellent very clean and also double as tornado shelters as this is in tornado alley so be careful there’s lots of interesting vegetation here and lots of different plant life you can get down to the lake from a long path like that starts at a large paved parking lot it’s not really a parking lot it’s just a large giant pain. On top of the rock I can easily accommodate Very long rigs it’s about 30 minutes to the nearest anything at least so be sure you bring everything you need
LegendEast Bluff#1 Campground located on south side of Lake McClellan is a small five site campground. The campground is better suited for RVs than tents as the ground at all the sites slopes down towards the lake. Campsites at the ends are slightly more flat. All of the site sit on the lake shore. Two of the five sites have two picnic tables, every site has at least on picnic table and a metal fire ring. One double vault toilet can be found on the west end of the campground, a dumpster is located in the parking area. Sites are well spread out, plenty of room to spread out. A nice feature of this campground is the large field located across the parking area from the campsites. Their is no water at this campground, so come prepared or fill up at one of the other campgrounds on the other side of the lake. Signs on the interstate direct you to the exit for the recreation area, but after that don't expect any other signage to help you find the campground, the only other sign you will get is the National Grasslands sign when you reach the area. After passing the National Grasslands sign take the first dirt road on the right to reach the campground, pass by the next right turn, this leads to the boat launch area, continue down the toad to the campground. Cost is$10 per night.
GuideIt’s pretty good. It has picnic tables under awnings, fire rings, grills, bear proof trash cans and plenty of dumpsters all around. It does have a toilet. No shower.

This campground sits on top of the cliff giving everyone a fantastic view of Lake Meredith and the most beautiful sunsets. Be ready for the wind because it blew something fierce the complete time we were there. There are no hookups but you will find flush toilets, showers, covered picnic table, fire ring, trash cans, and pedestal grill. There is a dump station at the entrance. The road into the campground is paved and in good shape. Fishing, hunting, hiking or just enjoying the sun will fill your day. All the sites are on the side of the road through the campground. Nice boat ramp with a large parking area.
