 Spent last weekend at Meridian, located 40 miles west of Waco.  It s another small campground, located in a cedar forest.  (We re mildly allergic to cedars!).   It should properly be called " Meridi-Ant"  State Park, due to the ants that refused to stay out of the camper.  I was sitting at the camper table, and suddenly got bit by ants.  What the heck?  Where d these come from?  There was a trail of them, leading back under the seat cushions.  Turns out they were climbing up the stabalizer jacks!  
 
 
 The campsites are unremarkable.  There are a set of pull throughs, and a set of back-in-to s.   Restroom was old, and could use some maintenance.  My wife reports them as being " buggy" .
 
 What we liked was the 74 acre lake!   Gorgeous, with big lily pads and grass around the edges.  They also have a nice swimming beach there.
 
 We also liked the looks of the primative site on the opposite shore.  We may try dry-camping that location next spring.

We took a ride through Meridian on our way home from another park a couple of months ago.  We were not impressed by any of the sites.  It was a pretty lake and the road that runs along the shore and up the hill looked like it would be a nice walk in the fall.
