Beautiful campground and lake! Make sure you fill your RV somewhere either than the area, as we had to go back into town and find a KOA to pay to fill with water.

Wonderful camping location with many hiking trails to choose from and fishing opportunities abound. Wish we could have stayed longer, We'll be back!

I enjoyed my visit to Dowdy lake. The campsite and facilities were excellent however the campground is densely populated and camp sites are very close together. This takes away the overall enjoyment of the beautiful setting. It would not prevent me from going again to camp at Dowdy, however it would be nicer to have more space between campsites. The lake is beautiful, the mountain bike trails are easy and easy to access and the facilities and maintenance are excellent.
