Fishing was excellent. Campsite was kind of run down. Concrete table was broken. Grill was burned through. No electricity for the whole loop. Luckily had brought a generator just in case . Sounded like it just had gone out for some reason not a regular thing. Great view of the lake and your right there on the water. Sand bass were schooling and catfish were biting. We had a great time. Will definitely be going back probably to another site # though.

The facilities were clean and well maintained. I would like to see sewer hook ups for the sites.

Just purchased a new travel trailer in the area and needed a place to perform "RV Trials". High View as close by and was just what we were looking for. The lots were very nice and since we were backed up against the water, it was a very idyllic setting. The staff at the gate were extremely helpful. Peaceful Park with nice views. The facilities could use some updates. They were clean but well used and in need of some modernization. Overall, great park to spend time enjoying the outdoors and getting away for it all. 4.5 stars to High View.

Site # 25 was a clean, view great, water and electricty hookup...all great! The only , ONLY...issue was signage of sights. Sights are marked on the road, but need some posts with sight #'s on it. Clean, beautiful lake, the Blue Bonnets are blooming in the Hill Country! The rains make the whole area beautiful!

This is a nice, older park, with a friendly weekend host. The bathhouses were older, but fairly clean. However, the number of long term/permanent resident sites gave a different vibe to the park.

I stayed during the off-season so there were few others to brave the cold. The grounds were well maintained and thee overall appearance was very pleasing. Showers & bathrooms were kept clean and were, "yes," heated ! Most, if not all sites had a good view of the Lake. The staff at the gate house were always friendly and eager to please.

We just spent the night but found the park very clean, staff were very friendly and the bathrooms were the cleanest we have ever used.

Super nice staff and enjoyed the stay.
@FrederickA9669 · Camped on Dec 25, 2024 at Campsite #7
Sites are just ok. Each site needs to have the pavement upgraded. MPGA, make parks great again.
@JacquelinF9262 · Camped on Dec 22, 2024 at Campsite #27
Super friendly camp staff. Beautiful views of the lake.
@CurtisT7818357 · Camped on Dec 6, 2024 at Campsite #40
The park doesn't have much for amenities however it is clean and the lake access is awesome. Great weekend escape.
@DavidM1864120 · Camped on Dec 5, 2024 at Campsite #26
The staff are wonderful. The park is clean and there is a good amount of space between each campsite. The spaces have electric and water. There is a double dump station available as well.Bathrooms are very clean, spacious and the showers are pretty hot but could be hotter. I was camped at High View for several days in December 2024.

Park was nice as usual. Staff is great. They do not allow battery powered golf carts. They absolutely should
@MarkB1441206 · Camped on Apr 25, 2024 at Campsite #27
The campground is right on Lake Bardwell, has plenty of sites. Our site was clean and level, the restrooms were clean as well and the water was hot in the shower. It is an older campground and could use some road repairs, but besides that is well maintained. Check in was very easy.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
