Our time at Sam Owen was quite enjoyable. A little less rain would have been nice, but it is what it is. The campground itself is quite large with several loops and has flush toilets with running water for the summer season. The fire rings were large and wood is sold in the campground. The dump station is a pay station, but at eight dollars I thought it was reasonable. The hosts we met were very nice and friendly and they had ice and wood for sale. All in all we liked our site and the campground in general. The swimming area was well marked, and of course no life guard. A concession had kayaks for rent. If you have a boat, the Beyond Hope Resort marina is right next door with beautiful slips and a good ramp. If there is one downside to Sam Owen it would be the boat launch. Fairly shallow, and in the waves, should you want to load or unload, come.in directly off the lake and make the launch challenging at best. The dock isn't much help for tieing up or anything else for that matter. Still a beautiful place that we'll likely go back to.

The camp ground has some serious logging going on throughout the entire area. The sites are also some of the smallest sites of any of the camp grounds that I have ever been to. Then the closest boat ramp is about eight miles up the road. The one at the camp ground might be suitable if you are launching a 12 foot john boat. However, if you are a tent camper and not boat fishing. It is probably, one of the prettiest camp grounds that I have been to. It compares to the Maddison camp ground in Yellow Stone. The staff was great and the heads were clean.
