Sanford-Yake Campground — Lake Meredith National Recreation Area

Marvelous Lake Meredith

When planning a two-week road trip visiting national parks out west, we selected this campground as a spot for a one-night stay. It did not disappoint and left us wanting to stay longer!

Our GPS took us directly to the campground with only a few hiccups in the Dallas area, but that was to be expected. We arrived around 2:30 in the morning, so the staff placed all of our paperwork in the electric box at our site. Locating our site at night was a little difficult, but since our friends had already arrived and were set up in a neighboring site, we used that to our advantage. Site 2 was paved and level. The water and electric hookups were very close to the trailer, so set up was a breeze. Stargazing was at a premium here as there were no city lights or lights in the campground. I enjoyed the night sky while my husband set up camp, and then we hit the bed.

We awoke to a beautiful sunrise over Lake Meredith. The view from the front and passenger side windows was great! We enjoyed our coffee outside by the water. Our only complaint was a neighboring camper with a very noisy generator.

After loading up, we went to the bait shop to check in since we had all arrived so late the previous night. Many people were arriving with boats to spend the day on the lake. We utilized the dump station and hit the road for the next leg of our journey. We would definitely stay here again . . . hopefully for a bit longer the next time.
