Clean sites, prepared for our arrival. Hosts explained the does and don'ts. Took our grandsons up, lots for them to do. Fishing, hiking.

It seems reservations and sites are being used by camping trailers, etc and not people. People are taking their units up, leaving them and not staying. Then come back on the weekend. However this prevents many others from enjoying Dowdy Lake when unoccupied camping units sit empty for 1- 2 weeks. Can't something be done about this? It has become a major issue the last 5 years.

Love this place so nice and quiet and lots of room to like a s explore. I only wish they had water hook ups as that would be nice. Still one of our favorite places to go

It is very hard to get reservations here. It's a lovely area but very crowded.

Cleanliness is the top priority when I stay at a public campground. The campground was the cleanest I have experienced to date.
