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.

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!

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!
