Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights3 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing. RV fit varies by site.
High View Park sits out on a long peninsula along the western shore of Bardwell Lake, about two miles southwest of Ennis and within an hour's drive of the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. The setting alternates between open grassy stretches and stands of trees that provide a mix of sun and shade, and the lake's cool blue water is an easy draw on hot Texas afternoons.






Length limits vary by campsite.

“The grounds were mowed and looked great! We were in spot 15, had great view of the beautiful sunrise over Bardwell Lake. As always, we had no problems with anything! Thank you and we'll see you next year for the NHRA Fall National! ”
“Site#22 is near the water and has a good view. Picnic table is cracked but still useable. Dumpster across the road and rest rooms are close. Park hosts friendly and helpful. This is my 4th year visiting High View at Lake Bardwell. ”
“Site 47. Great site. Good space between sites on each side. Shade tree. Water view. Entire park is taken care of. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (17,350 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
