Bob Shetler Recreation Area

Great campground.

We stayed at this campground about a week prior to this visit and that visit was less than enjoyable. The campground is at the base of a dam with a road running across it. When we stayed the first time, there were cars sitting on the pull outs blasting their stereos, and talking loudly so that sitting outside was not enjoyable at all.
This visit, however, was quiet and peaceful with no cars or loud noises to detract from the peaceful surroundings. The camp hosts were very welcoming and friendly. The other campers were polite and respectful of their neighbors.
I don't know how they managed to get the inconsiderate people who were making all of the noise up on the dam to stop, but it certainly made all the difference in our stay.
We will certainly stop here again as we wander around the country.

Pretty good campsite and had a good time

Had a nice time here. There was a great walking trail with lots of birds along the river. The bathrooms were cleaned twice a day and there was always soap in the dispensers.
The spaces were very close to each other but they were easy to pull into. There were lots of non camping fishermen there but they were very respectful of the campers. Would visit again.

We were traveling through on our way to Arkansas and had vehicle problems. We called the park office and the gentleman (originally from Texas) was so kind and helpful to us during a very stressful time. He went over and above to get us settled in. I can't thank him enough! Campground was one of the best we have been to. We definitely will try to get back!

We enjoyed our stay at Bob Shetler Recreation Area. We were only here for one night and left early in morning but the spot was nice and big and the campground was very nice with a dump station. We would stay here again.
