Site 47. Great site. Good space between sites on each side. Shade tree. Water view. Entire park is taken care of.

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!

Very nice campground. Bathrooms really clean. Only negative was that the grass needed mowed. Gate attendant was very nice and helpful. Good park to stay in.

The host were great and more than hospitable caring manner. the fact that this site states there are 50 amp sites, the one I chose was not a 50 amp when I arrived. So the helpful host help me exchange that paid site for an available 50 amp site. When I went to hook up there, it was not a 50 amp plug. So I gave in and made it through my stay. I notice where a tractor would better be used in cutting grass, the smaller z-turn mowers take four days to complete a mow. what wasted resources. This helps the breeding of chiggers close to the sites and makes it difficult for the workers to keep the weeds down. Anyhow, it was not a bad experience, but certainly not what the web site states. The information that identifies the the 50 amp sites should be checked and corrected. A farm tractor with grass cutter attachment like at other ACE projects should be available for the large amounts of grass to manage. Bottom line, this ACE park should have the same support as the others in the area.

@BeckyO01B10651 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #42
Bardwell lake has always been our go to for a fun time. Highview Park is always clean and the gate attendants are friendly and helpful. We always have a good time.
@JulieR8736363 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #21
Quite park, large sites and beautiful views of the lake.
@BrendaS8017425 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #23
Loved my camping location, right on the water nestled between trees for shade and freshly mowed. Staff on duty was kind, helpful and friendly. Was a perfect weekend.
@FeliciaB25250E · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #8
My family & I have been camping at Bardwell for over 30 years. The current female gate attendant is the most kind hearted and sweetest lady we have encountered. You can tell by her actions that she truly enjoys her job and she was a pleasure to do business with. The park and campsites were clean and functional. The grass is a little tall in some places which in return is holding water and making the bugs worse, but nothing you dont expect when camping. Thank you for a great stay!
@SeanT2392445 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #49
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.
@JohnnyFD09347B · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #9
The facilities were clean and well maintained. I would like to see sewer hook ups for the sites.
@TrexelMC90B473 · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #43
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.
@ReinhardH4C1A2 · Camped on Apr 22, 2025 at Campsite #43
Very nice hosts, they took care of us, because it was our first night at a camping ground. Thank you so much !
@TrudyeFAD55F88 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #25
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!
@DougN997938442 · Camped on Feb 21, 2025 at Campsite #7
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.
@DanL7708727 · Camped on Feb 10, 2025 at Campsite #23
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.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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.
