Bob Shetler Recreation Area

Dump station is not level

Some folks might freak out realizing they are camping at the bottom of a dam with millions of gallons of water, far above your camping level. I was OK with it, I got to sleep OK. The navigation of the park was weird. The dump and fresh water was at the rear of the campground. If you don't have water you should go there first to fill or dump. If you go to your campsite first, the roads are one way, arranged so you'll have to leave the campground and come back in the entrance to access the water/dump site at the rear of the campground. At the end of your stay, to dump you'll have to exit the campground and enter again to get access to the dump in the rear of the campground. It's a weird arrangement, poorly engineered by COE, IMO. Other than that, the park was clean and quite, very quiet. The access streets to get to the park are a bit long and twist from the interstate. The signage isn't good IMO, needs to be improved coming from both directions, west side and east side entrance routes.

Camping at Bob Shetler was generally a very good experience. Sites are spacious. We hope to come back again. Shower building did not appear to have been cleaned every day, but was clean enough.

We had a very good stay at Bob Shetler. We stayed in site #16, which has a concrete pad, which is super nice! The only reason we gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars was because the concrete at the dump station leans slightly away from the drain instead of toward the drain!! Which makes it harder to completely drain your holding tanks!!

Who ever was supposed to police sites after people left didn't do it. Our site when we arrived the fire pit was full of junk. The restroom building never got cleaned properly. There was a hair ball in the shower for over a week. Dirty sinks and trash on the floors.

Very nice, clean & comfortable.
