Fowlers is one of the most popular campgrounds in Northern CA so expect it always full. Its location next to some of the most glorious water falls in the state make it an ideal spot for fishing, swimming, and hikes. The downside is the cleanliness of the rest rooms doesn't always keep up with the traffic. It's also a bit congested. You're not on top of your neighbors but you are close. Other than that like they say in real estate: Location, Location, Location!

McCloud is a quaint logging town with a few B&Bs, a beautiful church, and some nice shops to browse. Someday we hope they set up a attraction for their railroad yard (which looks mysteriously intriguing in it's current rustic state). The hikes to the falls (3) on the river near the campground were easy and lovely. Can't rate the swimming since we were there during a cold snap. I have heard that people catch trout on the river - but unfortunately our fry pan only included bacon!! Next time we plan visit the Castle Peaks (near I-5) and re-visit the Shasta Caverns (it has been a few years). From McCloud, we traveled south and east to Susanville and saw some very beautiful country. Our hope is to someday have time to explore some of the lakes that were off the highway in Susanville. Was surprised that the area has it's own "Crater Lake". Would recommend the drive down the east side, catching the top of 49 and then onto 89 to drive through Hobart Mills and onto Truckee.

Fowler Campground is a wonderful place with the river, falls, fishing and swimming holes nearby. The middle falls are especially nice.

I love Fowler’s and have been coming here for years. It has gotten super busy over the years and I don’t like that. The camp hosts are friendly and do a great job of keeping campers in line.

Fowler's is a great campground, nicely maintained, quiet and just a beautiful setting. With three waterfalls all within fairly easy hiking distance, and the McCloud river to dip into, this is a gem.

The campground is clean and well maintained. It is close to the lower and middle falls. The camp hosts keep good order in the campsite, are very helpful, and keep the noise down at night.
