We haven't been up there this year. The road along Bowman is a bit long and bumpy, but usually not a problem. If you go to Sawmill, there's a trail that crosses the dam and goes (uphill) to Rock Lk. which is very beautiful. I've seen camping in the woods along Sawmill and a bit further along the road where the stream crosses it, but that looked dusty.
If you do go, also drive up to the end of the road to Faucherie, a sweet granite lined lake. Good kayaking there.
There's also some camping at the end of Bowman where the road turns off to Sawmill Faucherie. I think you should be able to find something.
Let us know if you go with a report!

Need a quick getaway this weekend to make up for the last few weeks. Been wondering about checking out Sawmill Lake a little southeast of Bowman Lake. Has anyone been to this lake lately? Wondering what the road conditions are like. If we go in late Friday evening after work, is there likely to be space available?
