Love this campsite. Believe I was in 38 or 31. Once bathrooms are complete it’ll be in my top 5 of gov rev camp grounds and I’ve hit ALOT of them. Only thing I didn’t like is my campsite didn’t have water. That’s a drag. But I also carry water for this reason. Happy camping

Pros: Nice campground site 85, with 30A electric hookup.
Cons: The restrooms and showers need to be updated, and only one dump station spot had water to flush the black tank.

Lake Shenango is one of our favorite places to stay. It is kept clean and the Host/Hostess are usually friendly and helpful. From time to time they have theme weekends, IE: Christmas in July. Otherwise, finding fun things to do is up to the individual or family. The lake itself is beautiful and lends itself to plenty of water activity like boating, fishing, kayaking etc. It is also pleasant to just walk around the lake area or bike and enjoy the views. There are many sites for tents or RVs with awesome views of the lake. We have found that almost all the sites here to be larger then any other campgrounds we have gone to.
