What Guests Are Saying
Lower Bowns is a great, remote, and quiet campsite with clean facilities, including a pit toilet, fire pits, and picnic tables. It offers a nice fishing hole and spacious lots for camping. However, access involves a steep, rutted road, and many campers may prefer dispersed camping nearby due to potential interruptions from ATV users.

We only stayed one night even though we reserved 3 nights. Turned out that 40 law enforcement personal with ATVs showed up for 3 days and nights of law enforcement training. Would have been nice to know this ahead of time. Paid for 2 nights we never used. We were the only campers there!!!!!!

Great campground. The bathrooms are always kept clean. Earnest the camp host was very friendly and a joy to visit with. We've been coming there for several years. Perfect fit for my family and friends

So the road going into the campsite was pretty rough. Rough enough that I wouldn't pull my trailer down it again. The water, "Resevoir", was super low. So low that the grandkids were not able to get out far enough to catch any fish. The weather though, was great. Overall, we had a good time but like I said, wouldn't go there again.

The aggressive ants at this site were intolerable. We ended up not even setting up our tents as they were biting us before we could get all of our equipment out of the vehicle. We inspected other sites in the camping area and they had the same issue. It could have been a seasonal issue, but I suggest Inspecting the area before reserving a site here it you’re tent camping.

Policies & Rules
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.
