We always love Shoal Bay. We rented the pavilion for a surprise birthday party and it worked out perfectly. B7 was a nice spot except there was a tree in the way where we couldn’t let the awning on our camper out.

This is one of my favorite parks to stay at. The campground is so clean and Ellen, the campground host, is always driving around checking on everyone. Super nice lady!

Accommodating Host, was able to get a site to accommodate Starlink signal. Beautiful Lake and tree covered campground.
Since we had hookups didn’t need to be concerned about solar.

We had a great time at this campground. There is a trail on site, it has a natural rock bridge formation. The bathrooms were clean and pretty new. I think any nature lover would love this location.

Camp hosts are excellent, bath houses are kept clean and stocked, overall park is clean. Pads, picnic tables, fire rings are in great shape. Please repair the light on the southern most boat ramp.
