Sanford-Yake Campground

We booked a site with electric and water. The site sloped towards the road but since we have a 5th wheel getting level was no problem.

Bathrooms with showers. Not the cleanest but I’ve also seen worse.

Sand burrs were out of control. Poor dog couldn’t walk anywhere but the road to avoid them.

First night was great but man the rest of the time the flies were insane. I lost count of how many I killed in 3 days.

The biggest negative to staying here is its far from anything. But I would of loved it a lot more had I brought a fishing pole.

It’s a national site with a vendor in charge of 10 electric sites. The power posts are locked with combination lock. Mine was not unlocked for my reservation. Boondocked instead. Wanted to take a bolt cutter to it. Why don’t they give us combination when pay for reservation? Disorganized. No one answering phone. Neighbor told me same for him. He moved to different site that was unlocked.

This is a fantastic layover spot if you’re trying to head north out of Texas. 30/50 amp electricity and water at ten pull through rv sites. Dump station is on the way out. Check in at the bait station down the hill at the very end of the road at the boat launch. We had a great view at site 2. The only cons: no shade and lots of stickers in the grass. If you have dogs, they’ll get pricked.

Beautiful views especially from the higher campsites. Large concrete sites for any sized rig. Reasonable cost. Wonderful sunsets. Good internet. Walmart 20 minutes away.

Wont be back because of these dealbreakers:

-gale force winds. How bad? Put in your slides bad. Hook up your trailer bad.

-noxious sticker burs everywhere. How bad? Cant walk the dog 10 feet without them sticking into pads and fingers, and they are sharp.

Love Texas and this was one out first stops when we got our rig. So many memories. We will miss this place!

This was a beautiful campsite overlooking Lake Meredith. There were hot, clean showers and bathrooms, too! There was a burn-ban in effect, so we used our propane stove to cook our dinner. We also used our propane fire for fun and warmth. We would definitely stay here again. There was a cute little cafe nearby for a budget friendly breakfast.

We were very surprised that this campground offered free spots! It is a very nice paved road and each site has a picnic table with covering, and fire pit.

The free sites are gravel, and the paid are paved. No problem getting our 27 ft travel trailer into a nice spot. We chose to do free. The views are not only beautiful, but the bathrooms are cleaned daily. Toilets are flush, and they have free showers. What more could you want for a free spot?!

We left off a star because it can get very windy. We experience 25-30 mph winds a few days. But we did have a lot of calm days as well. Really enjoyed our stay here!

Worth the detour... if traveling through Amarillo on 40 or heading to or from Colorado on 87, Lake Meredith is a great stop. Needed electrical with the Labor Day weekend heat and was able to get one of the electric sites at Sanford-Yake same day. Barry at the Wright-On Bait, Tackle & Watercraft Rental (concessionaire) was great. Only the 10 electric\water sites have fees. All others like all of the Lake Meredith sites are first come free.
