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

By far our best camping experience yet! Campground was very well kept and even the bathrooms were super clean! The host was very kind and informative. We had an excellent view of the lake. We’ll definitely be coming back.

This is a great site, the site is WELL taken care of,plenty of space to have guests, the view of the lake is good, it is a more secluded site and by the way the camp ground hosts are FABULOUS..

Site 29 has zero shade despite the website saying it was full shade. Camp host were great and allowed us to move to a different site. Dowdy lake is a great place to camp.

Trying to reserve a campsite at Dowdy is very mysterious. Usually, when I look for a site, I find that they are 100% reserved. This seems strange. So I kept looking and got lucky and found what I was looking for last time.
The way the system works, it seems you can't reserve too far ahead because nothing is available
It sure would be helpful if there was a publication that spells out all the details of how the reservation system works.
