This campground is next to the Bowery Campground at 🐠 Lake. Both are run by the national Forrest and reservations can be made on recreation.gov. Because these campgrounds are in high elevation it can be quite chilly even in May. Mackinaw has more trees which is beautiful but they tend to block the view a bit more. The lake has great fishing and of course boating and is definitely a great place for a family vacation.

Ultimately, if you’re coming during busy times you’re glad to get either but, if I can stay in Bowery I prefer it. Each spot has a picnic table and fire pit. Despite being on a hill most of the sites are pretty level. The bathrooms are equally spaced and throughout the campground.

Drinking water available Restroom: Flush Toilets, Shower facilities
