Bowns Campground, located 25 miles east of Featherville and 18 miles north of Fairfield, is a developed campground composed of 10 units along Big Smoky Creek. Two of the camp sites are double family units. Camping, fishing, hiking, and picnicking are popular activities. Campground amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, drinking water (seasonally) and restrooms. Miller Creek Trail (#087) starts just south of the campground and is open to motorcycles.
From Fairfield, go north 18 miles on Forest Road #094 and west approximately 6 miles on Forest Road #227.
Nice little campground, make sure to stop into Smokey Bar Store for supplies and friendly conversation.
This a neat little campground. Just don't get campsite 1....the old road used to go through so there are tons of people coming through all day and turning around....map still has the road as active
5 stars if it wasn't missing the water pump handle (so no water available on site) and it looks like the sites have not been weedwacked for a couple of weeks. Deserted. We were the only ones there on a Friday late August One other couple spent Saturday at another sight. It is located along a small river.
