Had a nice time and weather was good. Only problem was I helped someone to their camper and it was so dark I lost my sense of direction and got lost. Luckily I had my cellphone and had gotten quite a bit away from out trailer. Got help but it is dark and you have a hard time once you loose your sense of direction. Otherwise a great time.

We always enjoy Howell station! The bike trails and proximity to Pella are great. Unfortunately, in the bath houses, the electrical outlet wasnt working in loop 3. Not sure about other loops.
