Rating good, but don’t get me wrong, we had a great time at Fowler, but it was very hot this weekend. Nice large camp spot, but had to chase the shade around! The waterfall hike/walk is wonderful. From the campground I would say the Lower Falls are closest. We found a spot to swim/dip our feet in. The Middle Falls is the biggest and pretty tricky to get down to the water. Involves boulder hopping or crabbing down in my case 😂
The camp host was pleasant but didn’t come around until our third day there. Our neighboring site was terribly noisy until 11 pm all three nights. And the restrooms were very smelly and not very clean. I set up my own private privy.

We’ve been camping at Fowler for almost 30 years. The place never disappoints however, this year‘s host was not very kind. The previous host was very welcoming and easy to get along with and will be sorely missed.

The new host should work on her people skills and her communications. After almost 30 years of going there, I’m not sure if we were going to go next year if she is still there.
Which is sad because my oldest son has spent his 30 years birthday up there.

We have been camping every year at Fowlers for the last 10 years. It is one of my grandson's favorite places. Can't say enough good things about it.

Family been camping at Fowlers for 30+ years. New camp host Ronda Elliott seems to just like the fact that it puts her in some type of power, because she will straight up talk crab about the forest workers and say they are lazy, because he doesn't clean the restrooms,
and she will let you know it is not her job to clean the bathrooms . Every other camphost would walk around, greet campers, clean the bathrooms, police the campground.Its unfortunate we no longer have a camp host that actually cares about the camp grounds. However just make sure you got your cleaning supplies and toilet paper, because this is the season where fowlers has not been taken care of.For the most part camping was a success.

The sites are very large and well spaced, with both shade and sun. Vault toilet was clean. Bear box available if tent camping. Perfect setting along the river and the McCloud Falls waterfall trail. Great location in the midst of the beautiful Mt. Shasta area! There are so many things to do! You can hike or drive to the three falls. We also enjoyed Lake Siskyou, and Burney Falls/Lake Britton. In the summer, you can also access Lassen National Park and the Medicine Lake area. The area is just far enough off the beaten path to escape the crowds while still close to I-5. In the nearby town of McCloud, there are grocery options, Siskyou Brew Works, ice cream, and an RV dump site for a fee at the McCloud RV Park.

One thing we tried didn’t work out - the new rail trail for bikes has deep gravel that made it too difficult to ride. Very large tire bikes might work.
