So excited to finally have water levels rising. Sowell Creek and all Lake Proctor parks have always been an accommodating place to camp. Electronic only payments are a new issue to navigate, and gate attendance not always present are too; however by reserving camping at Recreation.gov and paying at the kiosk for day use passes, I had no trouble. I left a copy of my online reservation in my truck window when gate attendants weren't available to provide a window sticker, and used it when park ranger checked me at boat ramp. No troubles. Looking forward to water levels rising further!

Very nice and clean campground but the lake is very low. Boat ramp was closed and the lake was about 8' lower than 2 years ago

Was a very good campground. Very quite. Space between sites. The only thing was there was not any trees at most of the sites.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
