Campground was nice but we went at wrong time. There are so many cottonwood trees that it looked like snowfall much of the time. Will change time next time we go.

We thoroughly enjoyed Howell Station! Sites were roomy, level and well maintained. The bike trails were very enjoyable. The hydroelectric station did not emit any serious noise and was not a bother. Proximity to Pelli was perfect. Highly recommended campground!!
