The camp host was very polite and helpful. The park was very calm and relaxing even thought it was a holiday weekend. The shower house was very clean and well taken care of. We love Fowler Park and will definitely be back. It is one of our top 3 favorite places to camp. We love having water hook-up and having septic hook-up would make it our #1place!!
