Bo Woods Campground is praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained sites, and friendly staff, making it a popular choice for campers. Many visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the ample opportunities for boating and biking in the area. However, some noted the limitations in fishing access, crowded weekends, and the condition of restrooms, suggesting areas for improvement. Overall, it remains a favored destination for camping enthusiasts.

We only started camping this year, but so far, Bo Wood is our favorite! We stayed in Area 5 all 3 times and loved the view of the lake and the beautiful, woodsy, well-kept, nicely-spaced campsites. The restrooms/shower were kept super clean. We can't wait for next season!

We could not have asked for better camp hosts than Victor and Phyllis! The other one’s very cut and dry! Don’t care too much for them! Loved all our sites this year and we will be booking more ASAP! Sleep well Bo Woods til we meet again next spring!

Like this COE campground the best of ones around lake Shelbyville. Most of the prime lots are large with plenty of room. Love the dog park.

Extremely clean campsite and wonderful birding opportunities. You can bike ride to the entrance to buy fire wood or snacks!!
White pelicans were in abundance during our visit that made it even more special.
