Trail Notes

What we noticed on the ground

I enjoy exploring US Army Corps of Engineers Campgrounds! In Sept of 2020 I had the pleasure of camping at a US Army Corps of Engineers Campground, Highview Park on Bardwell Lake. Bardwell Lake is just south of Ennis Texas and is one of the best Crappie fishing lakes in the state of Texas. There are three US Army Corps of Engineers Campgrounds on Bardwell lake and Highview is the only one that is open year round. Highview Park is also the only US Army Corps of Engineers Campgrounds on Bardwell Lake to have a marina and an enclosed fishing dock. Come along with me as I explore this US Army Corps of Engineers Campground on the shores of Lake Bardwell! Check out my favorite RVin stuff on my Amazon page!! https://www.amazon.com/shop/DudeRV

Know Before YOU Go

Here’s what I’d tell you before you roll in

Campnab

Want the best campsite?

I do too.

I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.

That's why I use Campnab.

I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.

Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.

Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.

👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
