Great fishing!
Sowell is a great family friendly campground. Well kept, with an easy access boat ramp. Highly recommended
Great place to fish hybrid striped bass
I’ve come here several times for fishing, swimming, and camping. It was always well maintained when I went. Very good fishing place, friendly staff.
Big Rig Friendly EXCEPT Site 2
This park is so quiet and relaxing. Sites 1-7 are full hookups and BRF except site 2 (low hanging tree). We were in site 6 and it was perfect. The park is very big with a swimming beach and fishing pier. There are stickers for you dog owners so beware in some areas. Rode our bikes five miles inside the park roads. We will be back.
