Sanford-Yake Campground

Beautiful views of Lake Meredith. Sunset was amazing. Definitely worth the drive. It was quiet but a tad windy. Inner loop has water and electricity. Perfect place to boondock.

Clean, quiet, not crowded.

What is better than beautiful views and free showers...oh yeah and great service! We went to the top area for the highest and amazing view! The wind was pretty strong a couple of the nights and we ended up getting a random snow storm that blew from 10 am and quit at 7 pm. And then all was calm for the rest of the night. We had a great week being able to take the kids for an evening bike and walk each night. And we soaked up those free showers. There are four total bathrooms with showers but during the slow season they only keep two open. Big dumpster near the bathroom. There is also a water fill and dump station just outside the camping area...all free as well. It is pretty well kept up for a free shower area and better than a lot of state parks we have been too! We will definitely come back to this area if we are passing through Texas!!! Such a surprising gem in Texas! There are some sites here with electric and water that you can reserve at the bait shop which is down by the boat ramp! We had at least 3 LTE bars unboosted!

I’ve been here several times over the years and it’s never let me down. The view is spectacular, the staff are great and the bigger stores are nearby. I always dry camp so I’m removed from the bigger RV’s which is fine, I don’t care for the noise of generators or the fumes. It’s peaceful it’s a perfect place to hike and just be.

Very nice campground overlooking Lake Meredith. Well maintained. Lots of sites. Some come with electric and water hookups. Some dispersed sites come with covered picnic tables. There are trash receptacles.

The only complaint I have is my neighbor started his gas generator. It was loud. I was there first but I have to move to a different site further from him.

The best part is there are 4 flush toilets with showers at almost the center of the campground.

This is so much more than one would ever expect for free. Beautiful views, level sites that were easy to access. Grills and picnic tables bathroom and shower if you wanted( I prefer my own) and trash cans dump station and fresh water. Nice and quite and just peaceful. And for those oddities like us who have US Cellular I don't know what to say my husband had great reception and internet. I have the same phone and plan and got nothing.

We stayed here February 1 & 2, 2021. Weather was 70 and awesome- a nice break from the cold Colorado winter! Our 31 foot class c RV fit nicely into a few spots - we finally settled on one tucked back in looking over the lake. The whole campground was beautiful, clean, and quiet. There were maybe 5 other campers there during those 2 days. Some sites are close together -but it was easy to pick a spot far away from others since the park wasn’t so busy. The view was amazing! Not much to do (hiking) but a nice place to relax. Showers were free and clean!

At the time of our visit the lake was very dry and no recreational activity seen on or around it. The couple of little towns around the RA were pretty sad and non-functional. However, the camp sites, even tho dirt and sometimes chewed up from much earlier times when there was rain, offer beautiful and lonesome views of the countryside. There occasionally is another car or camper coming in, but for the most part this is you private place.

Like everything in most of Texas, the sky is big, the landscape stretches from here to forever and the wind blows (and does she!). Parked on one of those bluffs 75' above the lakebed you feel like you are at anchor in a rolling sea. Make sure you are stabilized and wheels chocked. If the wind is down you can sit outside and enjoy an unforgettable sunset or a cupa Joe with a magnificent sunrise. Chances are no one will be there to bother you and likewise bothered by you.

It's just you and the coyotes! Beats sitting out along a dusty road.

Wow, the wind never stopped blowing (in March) so not super pleasant to be outdoors still we had a good stay. Paid for one of the few electric sites because we wanted electric heat at night. I’d probably just go with a free site during warmer weather. All campsites we saw were very nice.

The facilities are well maintained and the people are nice. It's just way too windy to stay here. I thought it would pass over within a day or so. Four days later it's still windy. Very windy!
