Bowman Campground
Bowman Campground
Bowman Campground is a remote, primitive 7-site campground at 5,565 feet elevation with bear-proof food lockers and no trash service or potable water.
Access requires a high-clearance vehicle via a very rough, narrow, one-lane road (last 3 miles are particularly challenging), making boat/trailer towing difficult and dangerous; car-top boat launch only is available.
The campground offers fishing, swimming, and non-motorized boating opportunities on Bowman Lake, a large lake surrounded by rocky cliffs and scattered pines.
