Glad to help . The creek level is just a few inches below the arizona pool. And yes most people can cross up stream w/out getting their feet wet .The stream temp is in the mid 70's. So most cross at the beach w/out getting their genitals wet, so to speak.:-) Camping at Bowen is still $5 for overnight and $4 for day time use. The land boundry is @ 10 yds. or more in front of the toad warning sign at the trail head. This is blm land. Don't try to camp near here as you may anger Mike Castro. I would suggest ya'll take the right fork just before the Juniper trees of the main parking lot. There is a nice flat spot on a plateu with 2 juniper trees here. Also it is a dead end so you wont have much traffic going through. I'm wondering have ya'll ever made any trips to gold strike hot springs? And do ya'll ever go canuding down the colorado river? I have done this w/the S.D.camping bares and had great fun. Also Ringwald hotsprings is kinda fun. I will be dreaming @ being at dchs while y'all are camping there. So have fun and enjoy***
