Dowdy Lake Campground

Wonderful campground! Sites are in great shape and allow you to opt for a completely wooded setting or ones with views of the lake. Trails everywhere through the campground itself for easy access to the lake. Very clean and lit restrooms. Camp hosts were friendly and approachable. Forget something? There are stores nearby and even an Ace Hardware.

Reservations are very difficult to make as it is booked most of the time. All campsites are reservable. We spent 5 days in early August from a Sunday to Friday. So we missed the weekend congestion that I am sure is there. We had a great campsite with lots of room on both sides. Lots of trees!. Each campsite has a bear locker, large tent pad, picnic table. We also had electricty. Gravel or dirt drive ways. Bathrooms are modern outhouses that are very clean. Water spickets but you cannot fill your trailer or RV. No dump stations in the area. There are some very beautiful water sites but many are very crowded. We were not on the lake but could see it from our campsite. There is a very nice path that goes around the lake - 2.5 miles. Lots of people have kayaks or paddle boar

A peacfeul, quiet campground with a calm lake and view. Bathrooms were clean! Hosts were very friendly! Stayed in #49 which was spacious, had fire ring/food storage, and had quick access to bathrooms and the water. Remember that you must pay with cash and no swimming in the water. Firewood bundles are $10 each.

Beautiful lakeside camping. The trails are a little lackluster. We were right by the lake so there was no privacy as the lake trail came right next to the site with no delineation between the two. Otherwise very comfortable. Will be back to try a different site next year

Camp sites are beautiful! Each campsite has its own tent area, fire ring, large picnic table, and bear box. Each of these appeared to be freshly cleaned before my arrival. The campsite has a large, level area for tents. The area is large enough to accommodate more than one tent, or a large tent plus a sunshade. Restrooms were both very clean, well maintained, and smelled nicely. The camp host checks in daily, is friendly, and is available. My campsite was #27. I saw campsites #20 to #27, and they were all great! Site arraignment among trees gives everyone a little privacy. I highly recommend this campsite! One of the best sites I've ever found!
