Howell Station

We loved all the bike trails that were so easy to get on from the campground, however. There were several dogs on long (20 ft or better) leads that came rushing out barking and growling at us. Most noticeable was the hosts with dogs tied out on long leads and no one outside watching them when all posted signs and printed material of rules clearly states nothing longer than six foot leads. I am on a recumbent trike which sits very low to the ground and when a huge German Shepherd lunges at me as I go along the bike trail it was very upsetting to say the least. We spoke to several Rangers about this and they said they are allowing it and that it was "OK." This is a safety issue not just being a stickler for following rules but there should be nothing wrong with expecting everyone to follow the rules. No one should have to be fearful when walking or riding by a campsite because a big dog comes rushing out barking and growling. You have a problem that needs to be taken care of. We enjoy camping but it definitely puts a damper on the relaxation of camping when you have to worry that a dog may be jumping out at you. Please pass this on to the ones who make the rules. If you are having rules but don't abide by them, does anybody have to follow any of the rules?

The area was extremely clean. The camping spaces were not on top of each other. The grounds were perfect. Could not ask for a better place to camp.

Really nice area. We have camped here several times. This particular time we could not reserve the handicap accessible site but did quite well on a regular site, #59. It is right on a curve so be sure to pull your vehicles in completely off of the road way. Surrounded by beautiful trees. The camp host at the pay booth was very nice. As far as if you need a true handicap restroom available, the one connected to the actual handicap site is the user friendliest. Good shower access. The other bathrooms say they’re handicap accessible but are not even close to having showers that are accessible. The doorway threshold into the bathroom is too high. Also, there is no parking reserved for a handicap van with a side ramp. The bathroom stalls do let you get your wheelchair in but your chair will be up against your legs to be able to lock the door. Also, campers seem to use the bathroom parking for their guest and quite often you can not park at the restroom so I just took my wheelchair over several times before dark. Howell Station is one of our favorite spots and we’ve learned to make do with the accessible issues and hope to have many more weekends and weeks enjoying the river, eagles, scenery and getting to know fellow campers.

Great campground. Everything was so clean and people were so friendly.

We always enjoy camping at Howell Station

Great campground. Always a favorite for our family.

On the last week we were there, people moved across the road from us with two large barking dogs and when we complained they called us names. The new hydroelectric dam has ruined the fishing on the river.

Nice place

Great place! Looking forward to our next weekend get away at the Howell Station. Site #31 has ZERO shade however and we were in a tent. That was an experience:)

Love Howell Station!
Just wish they still had some unreserveable spots like they used to on the third loop.
Too many reserve just for two nights on the weekend and leave it so it’s many empty spots for the week.
