We love camping at Shoal Bay. The gate people are great and if we have any problems they help us out. We have never had any problems with other campers, in fact we have many friends that camp at Shoal Bay.

I think I was charged too much. I am considered a senior citizen and have a card, but was charged $12.00

The campground was fairly nice and decently maintained. The major issue was the canadian geese that lived there. There were immense amount of geese poop all in our campground. The other issue was the swimming area. The second day we was there there was some kind of gel like substance in the water. It was stated to us by someone famaliar with the area that this campgrounds swimming area is usually shut down due to ecoli in the water from the geese. If our camp location wasnt littered with probably over 100 diffrent piles of geese poo and the swimming area(which is of the highest importance to my kids) was not so "gross" i would rate this campground much higher. I remember camping here 30 years ago and remember clean water and definetly not tons of goose poop.
