The spot was beautiful, the campers were quiet, mostly! Unfortunately, many people thought it okay to not leash their dogs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Dowdy Lake, thanks to the excellent service of the campground hosts, Diana and David. They were most gracious and helped us with some reservation issues we were experiencing. They keep the area in excellent shape and were most helpful when some cattle visited our site. They are the best.

This National Park is one of the nicest places we've been to this year! We will be back again and again. It's just great for seniors but not so much for kids...
