Lake Meredeth National Recreation Area - FREE Camping in Texas Panhandle

Lake Meredeth National Recreation Area - Free Camping in Texas Panhandle On the way home from the South Dakota/Wyoming trip, the Two Tired Teachers stopped at Fritch Fortress part of the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, which is about 40 miles north of Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle. Fritch Fortress camping area does not have hook ups, but in the rather small camping area, there are flush toilets, potable water, a dump station, and trash pickups with trash cans at each site. When the Two Tired Teachers were there in late September, 2020, the campsites were free. Several campgrounds at lake Meredith do have hook ups. They are run by an outside vendors, and we do not know how much they charge. The campsites at Fritch Fortress are not exactly level. Remember they are free. You pull up to a site and park at the road on asphalt. Some of the sites are more level than others. You may be wondering why the Two Tired Teachers stopped again after they reached their home state. Keep in mind that Texas is a big state. Lake Meredith is in the Panhandle and we are at the geographic center of Texas. We were still 400 miles from home when we stopped at Lake Meredith National Recreation Area. The flint that the Native Americans found in what is now the Panhandle of Texas has been found throughout the United States. The area around Lake Meredith was a major trade area due in a large part to the flint. The flint quarries can be seen to this day. Meredith National Recreation Area is used quite a bit by the locals. We've seen cars of people come out for a picnic. The town of Fritch does have a decent size grocery store, a hardware store, and gasoline. It you are at Meredith National Recreation Area and need supplies, Fritch is close and it is a good place to stop. Side note: if you happen to be in Dumas and are ready to stop for the day, Texhoma Park is a free place to stay. It has hook ups, a dump station, and potable water. Again, it is FREE!
