Lake Meredith offers a variety of camping opportunities, including scenic overlooks, shoreline camping, and wooded campgrounds. All campgrounds are free. No reservations are needed; sites are on a first-come first-serve basis.
Trailer/RV hookups and showers are not available. Dump stations with potable water are located near Fritch Fortress and Sanford-Yake.
You may camp at any location within Lake Meredith National Recreation Area for up to 14 consecutive days within a 30-day period, but no more than 60 days per year. Hunters may set up camp between October 1 and December 31, with up to 30 days allowed annually per hunter.

You may gather wood that is dead and on the ground. No cutting of trees or other plants is allowed.
