I love camping here! You can hear the sound of the creek as you relax under the trees. Its situated between middle falls and lower falls and is a fairly easy walk to both.

This was my third visit to Fowlers Camp in the last four years andd it remains one of my favorite campgrounds. This years camp host Rhonda was friendly and availble and it was a pleasure dealing with her. What a treasure Fowlers is to the park system and I will be back.Thank you,Greg Cole

We enjoyed our actual site, but the campers on either side of us dampened the experience. Thudding music from one side and tipsy LOUD cackling women on the other side . I wish the camp host would've come around and said something.

@MarkM2223984 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #9

the camp host was helpful and made the stay enjoyable

@JuliaM3137220 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #34

Nice campground and great access to the river. Our spots werent very level but fine. The campground was full but people were very quiet and nice. The host Rhonda was great- lots of good information and helpful. Only negative would be the bathrooms really smelled and our campgrounds were very close. We moved to the farther one when we ate. We will definitely be back!

Great campground right on the river. Fantastic trout fishing just below the campground and at the middle falls, which is an easy 1/2 mile walk.

@kermh0A387DC09 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #35

Quiet and large beautiful spaces. Perfect for relaxing and bringing your pet along.

@SueW1876814 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #37

Just a half mile easy walk to beautiful Middle Falls. Camp host Rhonda is a gem, works hard to accommodate everyone

@VSB9237749 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #29

What a wonderful campground.

@RichardM509620 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #9

We have been camping every year at Fowlers for the last 10 years. It is one of my grandson's favorite places. Can't say enough good things about it.

@JasonM3591902 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #1

Weve been camping at Fowler for almost 30 years. The place never disappoints however, this years host was not very kind. The previous host was very welcoming and easy to get along with and will be sorely missed.The new host should work on her people skills and her communications. After almost 30 years of going there, Im not sure if we were going to go next year if she is still there.Which is sad because my oldest son has spent his 30 years birthday up there.

@EmilyOEE3532BF · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #6

Family been camping at Fowlers for 30+ years. New camp host Ronda Elliott seems to just like the fact that it puts her in some type of power, because she will straight up talk crab about the forest workers and say they are lazy, because he doesn't clean the restrooms, and she will let you know it is not her job to clean the bathrooms . Every other camphost would walk around, greet campers, clean the bathrooms, police the campground.Its unfortunate we no longer have a camp host that actually cares about the camp grounds. However just make sure you got your cleaning supplies and toilet paper, because this is the season where fowlers has not been taken care of.For the most part camping was a success.

Rating good, but dont get me wrong, we had a great time at Fowler, but it was very hot this weekend. Nice large camp spot, but had to chase the shade around! The waterfall hike/walk is wonderful. From the campground I would say the Lower Falls are closest. We found a spot to swim/dip our feet in. The Middle Falls is the biggest and pretty tricky to get down to the water. Involves boulder hopping or crabbing down in my case The camp host was pleasant but didnt come around until our third day there. Our neighboring site was terribly noisy until 11 pm all three nights. And the restrooms were very smelly and not very clean. I set up my own private privy.

@AndreaB9285855 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #31

A nice but heavily used campground during summer holidays. It is a much more pleasant experience, at the campground and on the trails during off season.

@KathleenY89157 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #21

Gorgeous campground. However, Site chosen noted as 30" limit on tt. Our 30" tt could no way fit to include jaming in the truck on the pad. After trying several configurations, we looked for camp host. Off duty. We left and stayed elsewhere. The next day, toured the whole campground looking for site I reserved for two weeks later. Couldn't find it after two passes. No camp host on duty. All that to say, campground is beautiful, however not made for tt over about 20 feet. This absolutely should be noted in the description.

@MistiH4FD50FE0 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #18

Bring shade canopies. Site had no shade .

@DanielleN74688 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #15

Spacious campsites, quiet, serene and beautiful! Loved the easy walks to the falls.

@RaminderSA291A · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #30

Excellent, clean campground. FYI they don't sell firewood in the park; must pick up in the town.

@KathyW3384810 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #13

The sites are very large and well spaced, with both shade and sun. Vault toilet was clean. Bear box available if tent camping. Perfect setting along the river and the McCloud Falls waterfall trail. Great location in the midst of the beautiful Mt. Shasta area! There are so many things to do! You can hike or drive to the three falls. We also enjoyed Lake Siskyou, and Burney Falls/Lake Britton. In the summer, you can also access Lassen National Park and the Medicine Lake area. The area is just far enough off the beaten path to escape the crowds while still close to I-5. In the nearby town of McCloud, there are grocery options, Siskyou Brew Works, ice cream, and an RV dump site for a fee at the McCloud RV Park.One thing we tried didnt work out - the new rail trail for bikes has deep gravel that made it too difficult to ride. Very large tire bikes might work.

@DouglasS589227 · Camped on May 20, 2024 at Campsite #25

Helpful host, clean sites, great hikes.

@TRBCF056723D3C · Camped on May 16, 2024 at Campsite #18

Campsite was clean and had the necessary amenities. Camp host and staff were great. Even picked up our garbage. Very enjoyable experience.

@MichaelC616917 · Camped on May 15, 2024 at Campsite #14

We come to Fowlers every May. Just a group of family- brothers, brother in laws, nephew and a dog named Rowdy. We stay for 8 days or so and have never had a bad trip. This was our 7th year and we will be back next year. Weather was great, campground was quiet, fishing was great, and of course the gathering was special as always.

@LindaW6181394 · Camped on May 15, 2024 at Campsite #37

We love this campground! No amenities but that's ok...you have the river, the birds, the Blue sky...what else do you need?

@RickA3524722 · Camped on May 15, 2024 at Campsite #6

After years of not getting to camp in empty spots at Fowlers, this year, following the death of my father, we arrived 2 days later than our reservation. The new camp host informed us we had lost our spot. Crazy that no one puts these rules on the reservations, the website or has enforced them for the past 5 years.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
