Site was great, location was great. We we there over Memorial Day weekend. the weather was a bit of everything. Overall nice.
We were on site 86, would recommend that site, but the shower wasn't even lukewarm, ever! Made reservations at Roberts Creek for next year. Don't want to go through cold showers again. We have a smaller camper and a good shower room is important.

We camped at Howell for a week and really enjoyed it. I had booked ahead a few weeks and didn't realize I had forgot to use my
card for seniors life time pass. The campground hosts were so friendly and helpful to add it to my account to be refunded. They even
ran our card back to our campsite after applying our refund. Great Hosts! Beautiful park and our favorite campground close to home.
