I would not recommend this campground. The workers were extremely rude and unhelpful, and instead of making our stay enjoyable, they made it stressful. To make matters worse, we were overcharged and when we brought it up, they handled it poorly rather than correcting the issue. There are plenty of other campgrounds out there that treat their guests with respect and honesty - this one is not worth the hassle or the $.

Can’t say enough good things about the folks that run Shin Pond Village. Very clean! Showers and bathrooms available! Spacious camp sites! They have cabins as well! Side by side rentals! Recently renovated home base, great kitchen at a great price. We ate dinner there every night. Pizza, Mac n cheese, nachos are HUGE as is the chicken Caesar salad. Steak n cheese, chicken tenders and wings! Also excellent gift shop! Even if you don’t camp there, stop in for the food if you are on a ATV or Snowmobile adventure!

We went tent camping in one of their secluded spots. The area was quite large next to a stream. We couldn't see or hear our neighbors. It was very beautiful. Restrooms were located just at the top of the hill. It's a long walk so it's best to go there in your car. The showers are coin operated.

The tent sites were super private and secluded. The staff was super kind and helpful with directions to the public beach. Also very affordable, would love to come back. Only complaint as a tent camper is that there is only one bathroom (unless you count a literal outhouse) and it was a pretty far walk. Otherwise it was fantastic!

Great campground with many available outdoor activities on site and nearby. Water and newly updated electric hook ups at the sire. Large grassy sites. Playground, clean bathrooms and shower house, store with about anything you need, restaurant on site, brand new Polaris rentals, access to water & rentals for use on the water too. Excellent hosts and staff, very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. Nearby hiking and right near the northern entrance to Baxter State Park.
