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

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.
