Howell Station is a beautiful clean park at Red Rock Lake. We camped somewhat off-season so were able to secure a waterfront site and sit and relax watching the pelicans and seagulls work the river for food.

As always, the rest rooms are nice and clean. The firepits are clean and there is always firewood available. The Hosts and all the maintenance workers are friendly and attentive.

Howell is Always a great place to camp. Lots of room. Level sites. Only bad thing is the rule change this year of having to be gone by noon. When a family cant get there till after work on Friday and you have to be gone by noon on Sunday its like tou get 1 day of camping. Thats not right

beautiful campground on the bike trail. Very large campsite. Clean restrooms. Water needs to be hotter for showers but otherwise can't wait to go back next season.

We’ve camped at Wallashuck and Howell station this summer. We’re leaning toward HS as our favorite because we like to park along the outside rows close to the trail so our grandson a
can ride his bike. We’ve enjoyed those parks cuz you have lots of space between sites. The Only negative is cell phone service (US Cellular) sucks I know you’re supposed to be enjoying the whole camping & nature experience but sometimes you need to be on your phone. I wish something could be done about Wi-Fi or cellular towers.
I also noticed that instead of having just one big shower in the women’s bathrooms at Howell they did divide them into 2 stalls. Which is a lot better to accommodate more people.
Thanks to all the Camp Host that keep the parks clean. The people at Howell were very friendly. ❤️💜⛺️🧡💛

Was very peaceful, enjoyed the weather. Only set back is the clean water and clean out station are not wide enough each way not enough of them.
