Hower's Campground is situated on the east shore of Deadwood Reservoir. The campground is hilly and shaded by a mixed pine forest. This campground gets very busy at times. We saw one tent set up on a wide spot in the road, ouch.

Recreation

Fishing
Deadwood Reservoir is know for its Kokenee salmon fishing. We had very little luck on trout.

Yes, there are boat launchs in Cosy Cove Campground and a gravel bar type launch closer to Riverside Campground. I am not sure I have ever seen anybody water skiing probably becuase of its remote location.

There are several beaches when the water level drops but no designated swimming spot.
