What Guests Are Saying
Sowell Creek is praised for its friendly staff, cleanliness, and beautiful lake views, making it a favorite spot for families and friends. Many guests highlight the peaceful atmosphere and well-maintained facilities, with positive experiences during multiple visits. However, some concerns were raised about low-hanging tree branches and occasional electrical issues, but these did not significantly detract from the overall enjoyment of the stay.

Beautiful park, well-kept campsites, nice lake views, clean restrooms, friendly personnel. The only problems were that we were tent camping in an RV campground (my fault). Water faucets are below ground level and I didn't bring a garden hose; not a big deal as we filled water jugs at the bathroom sink for washing dishes. The only thing that really got my goat were the "porch" lights strung from most of the RV's. Fine, but could you turn them off when you go to bed? Some of us travel out into the country to actually see the stars and the Milky Way. Perhaps there could be a "lights out" at 10:00 PM to coincide with quiet hours?
There is an informative and educational Historical Museum in Comanche; a great little side trip.

Grass is very tall at camp sites. Bring a mower if this is an issue for you.

Very nice park,Sites have covered tables, fire pits, good spacing between sites, sites were not mowed park host said did not have anyone under contract to mow. Mosquitoes were huge. Someone camping near us went home and got his mower and mowed the sites in our loop so it was bearable. Did not go into the bathrooms but did seen the cleaning truck come on Saturday. Plenty of dumpsters close by. Fishing was good. We caught catfish, crappie, sand bass and a gar. We will go back and will remember to take our mower or weed eater for just in case.
