Sanford Yake Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Free tent camping with no reservation required makes Sanford Yake a low-barrier entry point into camping near Lake Meredith National Recreation Area. Sites sit at multiple elevations overlooking the lake, each with a covered picnic table, fire pit, grill, and trash service. Showers are available at the bathrooms. The ground runs hard, which can make staking a tent difficult. No pets are allowed. AT&T users have reported usable cell coverage. Huber City Park is an alternative worth considering for campers who need a different setup.

Very nice. Seems to have all you can need

Nice level camp spots. We asked at the bait shop, rv site w/hookups just went up to $35/night. Still good for how nice it is. We'll be here next time I think.

Flush toilets and free showers. Bonus!

SiteWe only drove through scouting today.
