Blue West Campground

Blue West Campground offers a rugged, high-desert camping experience perched atop a cliff overlooking Lake Meredith. This primitive campground combines breathtaking panoramic views, peaceful isolation, and basic amenities for those seeking an authentic outdoor adventure.

Situated on the northern shores of Lake Meredith, Blue West provides a stark contrast to typical lakeside camping. The campground's elevated position atop rocky bluffs offers sweeping vistas of the lake and surrounding Texas Panhandle landscape, but limits direct water access. Sites feature covered picnic tables and fire rings, with vault toilets available nearby. The lack of hookups and limited facilities creates a true backcountry feel despite being just a short drive from civilization.

Located approximately 12 miles northwest of Fritch, Texas, Blue West Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring Lake Meredith National Recreation Area. The campground's remote setting and lack of light pollution make it a prime spot for stargazing. Visitors can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing in the immediate area, while the lake below offers opportunities for boating and fishing when water levels permit.
