We loved this campground! Especially because you can walk to the falls from it. We walked to the lower falls and to the middle falls. We drove to the upper falls lookout. The campsite was large and shady. I loved hearing the river at night. You could also hear the traffic on 89, but it wasn't that bad. Beautiful place. Would stay here again.

My boyfriend and I camped here in June of 2022. We will be going back in the summer of 2023. Arguably one of the best camping spots we've been to! Clean beautiful and quiet. Gorgeous waterfalls, hiking, and fishing. Lots of wild life to view. Worth the drive!

We’ve been camping at Fowler’s for the past 7-8 years, at least once a year. I checked out the reviews to see if there was mention of bear activity prior to our trip this year just to be prepared. We were hesitant to make the trip after reading some of the recent reviews regarding there not being hosts and people not being courteous of other campers. We decided to go ahead and go. I have to say it was quite possibly our best trip there, yet. Everyone was very respectful of each other and followed the campground rules , the bathrooms near our camp site (31B) were cleaner than we’ve seen them in recent years and the dumpsters were empty when we arrived. It remains one of our favorites!! (If I had to come up with a complaint it would be people that don’t keep their dogs on leashes and the bees! The bees were thick when food came out!)

What a great camping spot! You have three waterfalls to hike to and enjoy. Upper falls, middle falls and lower falls. All easy hikes with a beautiful reward at the end. The campground was visited by a group of deer daily and they were not worried about people being near-bye. I got some really good pictures pretty close up before I decided i better not push my Luck! I will be coming back here now that i know how wonderful it is!

This is a nice campground with fairly high traffic. Most all sites have significant paving for level areas at the picnic table and bear box. All campsites had bear boxes and the trash was bear proof too. The campground is situated next to the trail that travels from Lower to Upper McLeod Falls. This adds a lot of foot traffic and use on the pit toilets in the camp. The host was kind and the grounds were well kept.
