Bowman Lake State Park Campground

Tent camping in the beautiful winding camp ground many shady trees brings you back to nature.  We brought our bikes and explored the many hiking and riding trails on the premises.  We loved the swimming beach soaking up the sun and cool refreshing water.   As fisherman we loved that the rangers told us that the lake was regularly  stocked with trout and other game fish.  For the boaters there is an ample ramp to launch as well as boat rentals on the marina.  Conveniences are provided with many bathrooms and shower facilities throughout the camp ground.  For those not to into tenting there are cabins available to keep you safe.    We camped in July, but were told that the park is opened for winter activities such as xcountry skiing and snow mobiling. A fun trip for the whole family

Beautiful Area  Camper's Heaven

This campsite was beautiful. It was very secluded and in the woods, right next to the lake as well. I enjoyed how spread out this campground is compared to most and the location is beautiful.

Bowman lake

Pick this park has it was going to be my sons first trip camping. It’s a smaller park with a small hiking trail around the lake there is swimming at the lake with lifeguards, only down side was it had just one central bathroom for the whole campground having to wait for shower stalls was a little issue but very hot water even after waiting which was good and depending where your camp site is it’s a bit of a walk to it..

Good weekend 

We went up for a weekend trip.  Tent camping.  Site was sufficiently private and tucked away, but water/bathrooms/showers were close enough.  Very clean facilities!  Really enjoyed the kayaking and beach area.  The trails were not all that great and provided only minor enjoyment.

Great facilities

We booked this as our first real camping trip with our new trailer, can’t recommend that for everyone lol, but we had a lovely time.

We had a back in site with a fire pit, picnic table, and no hook ups. It was gravel and not super level, but we made it work. There was a potable water spigot a few sites over and a bathroom with showers a short walk away.

This is a great spot for tent camping, so if that’s your vibe this place is perfect. We had a lot of tree cover so we didn’t even need our air conditioning on during an 85 degree day. There are a lot of mosquitoes, but with some bug spray and a couple thermacell mosquito repellents, we were comfortable the whole time. I loved cooking over the fire, the pit had a cinder block wall around it to set a grate on and block the wind. We had a lot of privacy because the campgrounds next to us were empty, but even if there were people nearby there was about 20-30 ft between our site and the next.

The lake is small but calm and great for kayaking. There is a little “beach” there for swimming, but know that it’s a soft lake bottom further out.

We really liked it here and booked another visit in August.
