Our experience of free camping at Lake Meredith, Texas was wonderfully scenic and peaceful.

The cliff-front views overlooking Lake Meredith were more enticing than parking at an RV campground with electricity and water connections.

Here’s the Breakdown:

Location: Lake Meredith, Texas

GPS: 35.6824, -101.5978

Date / Temp: We only camped here for one night in mid-June. The skies were overcast and the temps were significantly lower than the previous days. With a high of 80 degrees and lows in the 60s, we chose this site over the one with free electricity (15 miles away).

The winter temps may be great for a few nights of free camping at Lake Meredith

Amenities: This campground has many covered pavilions, picnic tables, and grills. The best amenity is the modern bath house with four private rooms with hot showers and flushable toilets.

The sites are only pull-offs from the road but large enough for Class A’s.

At the entrance of the park, there is a dump station and fresh water fill-up.

Wifi / Cell: We received a strong cellular signal from AT&T and T-Mobile. We were able to stream without interruption and quickly upload videos. The reviews from Campendium state that the Verizon signal is also strong (as if anyone doubted Verizon’s coverage)!

Noise: Free camping at Lake Meredith is located on a loop that has steady traffic. Many people stopped by for an afternoon picnic, and local boat/fishing traffic continued throughout the day. 

Grocery / Errands: Since our stay was only overnight, we didn’t run any errands while we were there. Our research showed Borger (15 miles away) had big box shopping and plenty of restaurants. 

Dog Friendly: Free camping at Lake Meredith is dog friendly and offers lots of space for walking – BUT beware of small thorns in the grass.

Entertainment: Boating & fishing are the main attractions at when you’re free camping at Lake Meredith. There is also a National Monument within driving distance. However, these cliff-front views are perfect for relaxing, listening to music, and watching the activity below on the lake.
