GenieSummary

What others are saying about this campground
Bowman Lake State Park is a true campers paradise. The campsites are large, shaded, and private, and the lake is designated for non-motorized boats only, making it a peaceful and quiet place to stay. The roads and parking lots may be in poor repair, but the effort youll spend in advance planning for water and battery power will be well worth it in the end. There are plenty of activities to keep you entertained, including arts and crafts activities for the kids, swimming, canoe, kayak, and rowboat rentals, and lots of hiking and biking trails. The concession stand is also very affordably priced and has a diverse menu. The beach is sandy and the water is not very clear, but it is still better than most lakes. Be prepared for dishes and lack of shower facilities, but the helpful and friendly staff will make your stay enjoyable.

From The Campground

Bowman Lake State Park is a 966.94 acre remote sylvan retreat known as 'a camper's paradise.' Scenic park roads wind through evergreen and hardwood forests to shady campsites. There is a sandy lakefront with several picnic areas nearby. The lake is regularly stocked with trout, and birdwatchers can spot as many as 103 species of birds. The park also has a nature center and will add a nine-hole disc golf course in 2021! In winter, snowmobilers and cross-country skiers enjoy outstanding scenery on 13 miles of designated trails. No ice fishing is permitted. Bowman Lake offers 'Rustic' cabins. These cabins are the perfect in-between for campers who like tents and cabins. Offering protection from the elements, they offer 4 and 6 person cabins, but have no electricity or water, with the exception of Cabin 60, which has electricity. No pets are allowed in Cabin 60, 146B and 146C. Two (2) night minimum stay required for reservations. Reservations and out-of-state resident fees also apply.
