I go to Shoal Bay alot, love the area and the site. If I had any complaint it would be concerning the number of 50 amp sites available. There are only 10 usable 50 amp sites. Many times I have had to reserve 30 amp site and when I arrive there will be several of the 50's taken up with tents and/or small campers.

Pros: It was quiet. It was peaceful. Other than the "beach" it was well maintained.
Cons: The "swim area" was neglected and fairly toxic. Constantly watched people stroll right through our's and other people's campsite.
