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.

The park was wonderful, our only complaint was 2 pitbulls that had been shot and was right behind our camper, my husband carried one up to them to get it out from behind our camper, but when the second one came up he called them and they said don’t bring it up here, first time we had experienced that at shoal bay which we go to several times a year, it wasn’t the weekend man who is so nice , this guy was during the week.

Pretty campground. Nice camping sites. Good sandy beach and nice swimming area. Playground for kids. We had an electrical problem and the gentleman fixed it immediately. Very nice and helpful.

Our families camp there several times a year.

We were in P5A and it was horribly nasty. Evidently the park has been working on the drainage issue and there was standing water right where the stairs of the camper came down. We actually put two mats down and the mud and water was still squeezing up through our shoes. The camper was nasty from all the mud. My 80 year old mother fell because it was so wet and nasty. The water was there the entire time we were there and there wasn't any rain. We have another weekend booked over the 4th of July weekend in P4A and I'm hoping we don't have to deal with that again. Because that campsite looked like it was dealing with the same thing that we were.

We loved our spot at F3. The only bad comment I can leave is that the bathrooms were not as cleaned as usual. May be because the park was full and some didn't pickup after themselves!

Always enjoy camping at Shoal Bay but unfortunately our stay was cut short this year due to camper malfunction.
