What a beautiful campground. Lots of space between campsites and great views. First time visiting and made a second stop on our return trip. Definitely worth the visit.

After such a hot summer, it was wonderful to stay at Sowell Creek campground. We like being close to the lake to watch the sunsets. The deer and water birds make great pictures too.

The electric supply needs work. Lake Ranger put new breakers and still had to be careful to keep them from flipping.

Arrived at the gate at check-in time and the vehicle passes were ready to go. Very friendly staff and top notch facilities. I intend to visit regularly due to the close proximity to home. These parks are hidden gems and should be heavily attended. There were only about 15 sites occupied out of over 60 available. I would highly recommend to everyone.
