Dower Lake Recreation Area — Reviews

Family friendly and no shortage of wood for camp fires. The playground, swimming area, and fishing pier were all well-utilized during our stay. Thank you DLRA!

Would have been helpful to know about the town celebration. Trains blowing horns multiple times throughout the night. Bathroom signs were unprofessional. Need better verbiage.

It was a good stay I would say a suggestion would be to have garbage cans maybe not at each site but maybe down each row? And there was also I believe a homeless person that kept coming over to the shelter that we had rented and paid money for, she kept interrupting and wanted to charge her phones. She was rude when we told her to wait till after we are all done. Very comfortable and nice area. Would definitely come back and stay.

The campground itself had many things to do for kids. The fishing pier was cool, it is a ways away from the actual campground. The lake was very small and full of reeds. You couldn't enjoy the lake unless you went to the beach. Camping was quiet and enjoyable that is why I gave it 4 stars.

Easy to stay a quick night. Sites are easy to park!

Huge, clean, well maintained camp sites. The beach and bathrooms are wonderful. Plenty of options for entertainment, like horseshoes and frisbee golf. The firewood for your personal fire ring is free, however when we were there it was not split enough for said fire ring. Will definitely return!

Overall it's a nice campground. Young people "16 to18 years old" at the beach screaming and swearing made it tough to enjoy and they were there all day.

It was clean and nice

Signage throughout the park is poor. The building marked as a tornado shelter is locked with directions posted on bulletin board on how to drive to the community building a ways away. Good sports facilities with a simple but fun disc golf course. Decent camp sites. Bathroom facilities are just ok.

Very clean camp. Sites were big and the lake is beautiful

It's always a great place to stay

Wonderful campground. Very well kept up. Too many bright lights making it hard to see the stars at night.

Clean and it was as advertised. Relaxing stay!

Campsite was clean and well maintained. Amenities were great. Beach and recreation areas were nice for family. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Great stay.

Camp site looks good. Perfect place for camping. Restrooms clean is poor. Needs to be improved.
