The camp site we were at was amazing. Lots of space, and soace in between other sites as well. View of the lake and good beach access. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Quiet and beautiful we will be returning.

We had a wonderful time camping at Dowdy lake. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute. The campground was full, but very quiet at night. Bathrooms were very clean for pit toilets. We booked two more trips to Dowdy lake upon our return.

Great campground! Loved the big sites, walking around the lake, and relaxing along the shore of Dowdy Lake.
