High View

High View Park is on a long peninsula on the western shore of Bardwell Lake, less than an hour south of the Dallas-Fort Worth area in north-central Texas. Many local fishermen consider Bardwell Lake one of the best kept secrets in the state. Bass fishermen seldom leave empty-handed, crappie fishing is moderate, and catfish are usually excellent. High View Park offers campsites with water and 50-amp electric hookups, and 30-amp electric hookups, picnic sites and one reservable day use group picnic pavilion accommodating up to 50 people. A four-lane boat ramp and a courtesy dock make access to the lake easy, while public restrooms with showers help provide a comfortable camping experience. The park is grassy and partially forested with a mix of shade and sun. The lake's cool, blue water provides a refreshing break from the Texas heat, while bluebonnets and other wildflowers surround the lakeshore each spring. Numerous amenities, as well as cultural and historical attractions, lie in the nearby cities of Dallas and Fort Worth.
