I arrived around noon in early April and the road down to the lake (and this campground) was closed. Continued on to next campground on the lake.

We staying in mid-February just for an overnight stop and are determined to get back. There is a dump station on the loop. The pictures will tell you everything. I will post several.
We would be boondocking there this week if it weren’t for some recent wildfires in that area. Concerned about smoke inhalation.

We stayed here in January so we were the only ones here. Each campsite has beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding cliffs. There is no shade at all so our solar charged nicely everyday. The only downside was that the bathrooms were closed while we were there. The hiking was really nice. We would have stayed much longer, but it got COLD. This place seems like it would be very popular during the warm seasons. And obviously it's free so... who can complain about that?

Dry camped two nights in late May at Lake Meredith NRA, the high bluff Fritch Fortress campground, site FF9. Pulled off at the wide spot and had an unimpeded view of Lake Meredith - mesmerizing. Covered Picnic tables, in camp trash cans, well kept solo restroom/showers (and water) a three minute walk away, plus the views - no fee.
It got very windy at times during our short stay, including a monsoon rainstorm at 4am with 50mph+ gusts! But the unique perch on the bluff was brilliant, and nearby Fritch Fortress Trail was a nice diversion. Easily better than many campgrounds I’ve paid to stay in - highly recommended.

Awful. The worse campground ever with flies.
The three stars were for the flies. So sad because beautiful views and two picnic tables per site along with a shower in each of the 4 restrooms.

This place was just what we were looking for in the area. Came in on a Sunday afternoon and plenty of sites available to choose from. We have a 43 ft TH and it was fine getting in here. No problems at all, but it’s a tight squeeze on the site we chose. Slides are ever so slightly over the line.
Easy to find using Google maps. Max stay is 14 days. Dump station available. Fresh water available at bathroom with a faucet or at dump station. We use a water bladder to power fill our fresh water tanks and the one by the bathroom was perfect for us. We travel with a Jeep so it might not work for everyone. The fresh water at the dump station doesn’t have fitting for hose.
We have solar and this site was nice a clear providing plenty of sunlight during a clear day. It is a little windy considering it’s a cliff overlooking a lake, so keep that in mind when staying or leaving out anything that might blow over.
Bathrooms were nice and private with a shower. Hot water is available at the showers which is always a plus.
Overall, its a perfect site for free!

There were so many people that day and you can easily get a place to set up you camp and prepare for picnic on the clean table by side. You can enjoy the sunset pretty easy. Will come back for sure with families. It was a bit windy that day. Excellent experience. And hope to stay longer.
