The sites aren’t too expensive. There are plenty of amenities nearby, including drinking water &amp; flushing toilets. The views are magnificent &amp; the temperatures are moderate. Love this place!

Beautiful Fish Lake view. 

Bowery Creek is beautiful. Spring, summer, fall you need to see Fishlake in all seasons. The campground has beautiful views year round. There are so many things to do like hiking, fishing, boating, atv rides, and breakfast at Bowery Haven is a must. One of my all time favorite places to visit.

A little piece of heaven

We couldn’t get a spot at Capital Reef so I checked on The Dyrt and low and behold there’s a lake only an hour away.  If you want peaceful and cool it’s here.  If you like to fish they have 20-40lb mackinaw trout.  There are several camping sites around the lake but this one in my opinion has the best views of the lake and ambiance.  Others are either so filled with trees you don’t see the lake and one has barely any trees.  Also, a great price for the beauty!

Beautiful lake and aspen trees!

I love coming to Fish Lake and staying at Bowery Campground.  The spots are nicely separated with the trees and lake making a serene background for a relaxing campsite.  Each campsite has a picnic table, fairly decent tent pad and a charcoal grill.  Most spots have a view of the lake and an easy path down to it.  There is an awesome 5 mile trail that starts at the campground and ends at the top overlooking the lake.

-The bathrooms aren’t super close but, there are several throughout the campground.  -Drinking water is available.
-There are several group sites that accommodate up to 30 people.

Beautiful, peaceful and serene

Went on a week day in August and there were a ton of sites open. The lake is really beautiful and just outside of the campground is Pando, one of the largest aspen grove in the world. Best time to be here would definitely be in October when the leaves change colors!
