Bowds Canoe Campground sits on the northern bank of the Glenelg River within Lower Glenelg National Park in Victoria, positioned along the Glenelg River Canoe Trail between Sapling Creek to the east and Patterson's Canoe Camp to the west.

It is a popular overnight stop on multi-day canoe trips, typically reached on the first or second night of a paddle down the river.

The campground is a grassy clearing running along the riverbank and backed by forest, with a jetty providing direct water access.

A central area includes a picnic table and fire pit with space for multiple tents, and additional quieter spots are available further from the main area.

Its combination of open riverside setting and surrounding bushland makes it a well-regarded base camp for paddlers exploring this stretch of the Glenelg.
