We enjoyed our first ever weekend stay at Bowman! The sites are large and clean, fire pit with an attached grate, host was nice, pit toilets were cleaned regularly, not busy or super loud aside from some noise from the road outside of the campground and some people who kept having their car alarm go off randomly at times - but that’s not the campgrounds fault!

The sites are large and clean, fire pit with an attached grate, host was nice, pit toilets were cleaned regularly, not busy or super loud aside from some noise from the road outside of the campground and some people who kept having their car alarm go off randomly at times - but that’s not the campgrounds fault! The river was beautiful, clean and we enjoyed having access to it. We spent an entire day on kayaks, dropping in the river before M-37 and going all the way down and getting out at Bowman Bridge. We’d love to do it again!

Beautiful sites, but really close to the highway. The road noise was shockingly loud. The pit toilets were the cleanest I've ever seen.

Enjoyed being here, the camp host was great, he kept the place cleaned. Did allot of improvements. Bathrooms were clean, sites were BiG. I will be back. No electric or water hookups but it’s real camping. There is kayaking, another park nearby also. Tent camping only.

Great campground. Very large sites. Great fire pit. Pit toilet very clean. River access was clean and even. We stayed on a 30 degree night so power would have been a plus but we knew it didn't have any so we went prepared.
