Water activities anchor the experience at Bowdish Lake Camping Area, a private campground operating seasonally from May through October in Glocester. The facility accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus amenities like showers, restrooms, and a dump station.
The campground caters primarily to seasonal RV campers, though tent sites are available. Several reviewers noted the spacious, private sites with good separation between neighbors. Taylor B. described their site Red 24 as "very secluded and flat," positioned next to the adjacent state park boundary. Site privacy appears consistent across different areas, with John D. praising the "spacious" layout and "lots of privacy" at site Blue 111.
Pricing varies significantly depending on stay length and site type, ranging from $40-200 per night for short-term visitors. One reviewer highlighted additional fees for various amenities and services. Stanley K. noted that families find plenty of space for activities, commenting that "kids had a blast" during their weekend stay. The campground allows pets and campfires, with George Washington State Campground located about a mile east for those exploring multiple area options.
Reservations are recommended given the seasonal operation schedule and mix of overnight and long-term campers.
