We were not aware of the new rule that ALL sites had to be reserved. Setup on a site n had to move to site we had reserved. The handicap site we reserved has no shade- total sun. Also restrooms aren’t cleaned very well.

We always have a good time at Bow Woods. Staff is excellent. We had an unfortunate accident when we drove off without putting up the awning. Yep, did that. A staff member assisted us to get the awning stowed so we could drive the camper back. Without him and his excellent ideas this would have ended in disaster. They go the extra mile to make your camping experience great...

Great location, excellent views from the site #25.
Large main bathrooms need severe updates and windows for ventilation.
Overall, we will be back to camp at BO-Woods
