Plowman Creek is such a nice park. Staff was super friendly and easy going! We camped 3 nights in Site 9 which was right on the water at the end next to the boat ramp. Very beautiful site. Really liked the spacious lakefront camp sites ✨⛺️

This is an alright campground. The campground itself is very nice. The cost is decent for an electric site ($24). At night you hear trains going by more often than I would like, plus camp neighbors didn't seem to respect quiet time. I'm not sure we would return.

We had a level, back-in site which included power and water hook-ups. The picnic table was under a ramada with a grill and firepit. We had a nice view of the water, as most sites do. They were hosing down our ramada, grill and picnic table as we arrived (we were a little early) and said they do this cleaning once a week! There are no hiking trails, but nice to walk through the campground along... We had a level, back-in site which included power and water hook-ups.

There are no hiking trails, but nice to walk through the campground along the lake. Very quiet. We took a day and went to Dinosaur Valley State Park. When there ask about another nearby site outside the park to visit, along the same river. Very worthwhile! Very reasonably priced Core of Engineers park.

Our camping spot was great. Very close to the lake. We even spotted a pair of Bald Eagles while we were there. I do wish the spots had full hookups. The attendant was very helpful and friendly. Made for a great couple day getaway.

Love the park but needs someone to do maintenance on campsites. The sites need leveled and not with the land. Grass needs mowed at campsites. Someone needs to contact verizon for a tower in the park.

Someone needs to contact verizon for a tower in the park. No service to call park manger when a large cat (bobcat or cougar) showed up at our camp 2 nights in a row. The coyotes came threw right after the bobcat or cougar. Think they were all looking for the two fawns that came threw that day. But over all would be a nice park with all repairs. Needs kids swings. Oh wait OMG the bugs will kill you. We had a 4 ft. swarm at the camp and all so when we rode our bikes about 6pm. Park needs sprayed bad. The road to the dump station needs paved and also the road to the Equine park needs paved. I watched the little girl come clean the site next to us. Picked up a couple pieces of trash lifted the fire pit and left. I walked over there and there was a cut up water hose # 12 and broken glass high grass with stickers at each site. I think I need to visit every park and do the reviews for the state. The Host drove by every hour.
