We loved all the bike trails that were so easy to get on from the campground, however. There were several dogs on long (20 ft or better) leads that came rushing out barking and growling at us. Most noticeable was the hosts with dogs tied out on long leads and no one outside watching them when all posted signs and printed material of rules clearly states nothing longer than six foot leads. I am on a recumbent trike which sits very low to the ground and when a huge German Shepherd lunges at me as I go along the bike trail it was very upsetting to say the least. We spoke to several Rangers about this and they said they are allowing it and that it was "OK." This is a safety issue not just being a stickler for following rules but there should be nothing wrong with expecting everyone to follow the rules. No one should have to be fearful when walking or riding by a campsite because a big dog comes rushing out barking and growling. You have a problem that needs to be taken care of. We enjoy camping but it definitely puts a damper on the relaxation of camping when you have to worry that a dog may be jumping out at you. Please pass this on to the ones who make the rules. If you are having rules but don't abide by them, does anybody have to follow any of the rules?

Beautiful campground. Peaceful and quiet, well-maintained and very clean. The check-in host was REALLY wonderful and helpful. Iowa hospitality at its best.

We always love our time at Howell Station. It is our favorite place to camp and walk etc. Just wish it was easier to get reservations as it used to be when we could come in and reserve instead of going on line. Seems people reserve in advance and we have a hard time getting any reservations. Sheila and Teddy Dunbar
