Bubba Cowser Recreation Area

This tiny recreation area may just be best used as an overnight stay for RVers and road nomads due to its small size and the need for more parking space for boaters. There’s also considerable highway noise from the bridge. Moreover, this place will flood over when water levels rise.

Our experience with Bubba Cowser Recreation Area is that it’s actually a nice place to camp. You just don’t want to be here on the weekend when boaters and fishermen come in. Then it starts to feel like a parking lot instead of a campsite.

This is also great place to launch kayaks and canoes because you’re out of the river current and on still water.
