Nice campground with electric only sites in some of the loops. The showers are dated. I'm sure they're clean, but they don't look it. A trip to Handel's ice cream was a highlight.

Shenango is a very family friendly camp area experience. There are many sites to choose from including sites on the lake front. Our site was clean and plenty big for our camper and boat.

Relaxing and peaceful in the day. Watch out as soon as it gets dark. Skunks invaded. Every single night. No food out but they swarmed our site. We had kids so it was very hard to enjoy a fire when the skunks came and we had no choice but to go inside the tents.

The campsite was nice and shady. It was not too far from a restroom. There was enough room to put up 2 tents. It was nice and roomy, not feeling crowded. We just could not enjoy a fire at night because of the skunks. Was not able to make moon pies. The kids were disappointed. There was one skunk that was mean. It came after me and chased me into my tent and then scratched at my tent. But other than that, I had wonderful time.

Nice place. Wish they had more electric sites. And a small convenience store.
