Overview

High View Park is on a long peninsula on the western shore of Bardwell Lake, less than an hour south of the Dallas-Fort Worth area in north-central Texas.

Recreation

Many local fishermen consider Bardwell Lake one of the best kept secrets in the state. Bass fishermen seldom leave empty-handed. Crappie fishing is moderate, and catfish are usually excellent.

Facilities

High View Park offers campsites with water and 50-amp electric hookups, and 30-amp electric hookups, picnic sites and one reservable Day Use group picnic pavilion, accommodating up to 50 people.

A four-lane boat ramp and a courtesy dock make access to the lake easy. While public restrooms with showers help provide a comfortable camping experience.

Natural Features

The park is grassy and partially forested with a mix of shade and sun. The lake's cool, blue water provides a refreshing break from the Texas heat, while bluebonnets and other wildflowers surround the lakeshore each spring.

The weather was great and the park was sparse and quiet during the week. Jean, the camp host at the gate was friendly. We enjoyed our visit, 10 day total.

Great park. Price is right. Easy access from I-45, Quiet, but occasional boat traffic during the day. There used to be a marina, but a tornado demolished that. Some sites have a bit of a slant. I was in #26. Appeared to be slanting down, but when I parked the trailer was level. Had good cell coverage, so the reservation system worked without a hitch.
