Campground needed mowing. Grass and weeds were over a foot tall all around camp sites. Bathrooms were filthy and every toilet in all 4 rest rooms were clogged. Campground needs more attention

This park is more fore fishing, not much in the way of trails or swimming. The site was fine, the host were fine.

Went to Plowman to enjoy a nice camping trip with my dad, who has been coming here since the 60s. We had a difficult time enjoying ourselves due to the loud music from our neighbors all weekend. The people two sites over did not adhere to quiet hours, we heard music late into the night. the park host conveniently stopped coming around in the evenings, probably so they didn’t have to deal with these rowdy individuals. Some also drove a very loud fishing boat around the creek around midnight. Really wouldn’t recommend this park anymore, unless they start running off the riff raff. You would be better off staying at a state park.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Contact the Whitney Lake Project Office for information and burn ban details.

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.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
