Fishing was always pretty good in years past, this year wasnt as good, still caught fish, theyre just alot smaller. I paid for an rv spot with electric and one day had no electric. So kinda disappointed.

The camp hosts are fantastic. They go above and beyond caring for the camp ground.

This is a wonderful campground; no wonder it is so popular. Nestled in the woods on the shores of Dowdy Lake, this campground is made up of several small rings of sites. One ring is slightly back from the shore, but the others have terrific views of the lake beyond. For people camping in tents, there is parking on one loop and then you camp closer to the shoreline on terraced sites. Yes, you do have to carry your gear to the site. The bathrooms are vault toilets, but they were clean with minimal odor. Trash bins are near the toilets and so is a hydrant for water. Once you have claimed your site you are given a car tag that gives you access to the day-use area and the other parks in the area for kayaking or fishing. There was cellphone service with Verizon I think.

Clean site, close to bathroom, water and trash. Impressed that the sites have electric hookups! Loved being so close to the lake! We will be back next year (if we can get a reservation)!
