Large lots. Great walking/bike paths, river access for fishing or watching wildlife. Very quite park that is well kept. One of our favorites. 2022 brings updates to sewer and water. Hopefully, it will add full hookups.

Very good visit to Howell Station. Large camping spots, plenty of shade, nice bike and walking paths. A lot of wildlife to observe and the river provides good views. Restrooms were clean and the grounds well maintained. Not surprised because the Corp has some of the nicest campgrounds and we use them often.
