About
High View Park is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground situated on a peninsula extending into Bardwell Lake, approximately one hour south of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The 39 individual campsites offer water and electric hookups in both 30-amp and 50-amp configurations, with paved or gravel back-in driveways. The park provides public restrooms with showers, a dump station, and a reservable group picnic pavilion accommodating up to 50 people. Bardwell Lake is considered one of the best-kept fishing secrets in north-central Texas. Bass fishing is particularly productive, with solid crappie and excellent catfish opportunities. A four-lane boat ramp and courtesy dock provide easy lake access. The grounds are grassy and partially forested with a pleasant mix of shade and sun. Spring brings bluebonnets and wildflowers along the lakeshore. Reservations are required and available through Recreation.gov. The maximum stay is 14 days within any 30-day period. Check-in is at 3:00 PM and check-out at 2:00 PM. The entrance station operates from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. Note that converters or "dog bones" between 30-amp and 50-amp services are not permitted.
