More than half of the showers were broken. Insects were terrible. Several electric hook-ups had bad wiring. people were shocked.
Otherwise we love the camp.

This campground is as beautiful and relaxing now as it was 40 years ago when I was a kid. Will continue to camp here for years to come. Some things change in this world, yet some places remain untouched.

We enjoyed being at Shenango but I was disappointed that the showers did not work, there was no hot water and I couldn't find anyone to tell me what was going on and when the hot water should be restored.
Also the mosquitoes were horrible, millions of the hungry beasts everywhere. We saw a pest control spray but that only lasted one day and they were back in force biting.
Yet, all in all, we still had a good experience.
