Booked a last minute site and had a very good weekend. Sites was well maintained, facilities were clean and location was great. Excellent bar and grill right down the road. Plenty of space to kayak or canoe

There are a number of Beautiful lakefront sites. The lake is very pretty and not crowded. The campground is large enough to enjoy a nice bike ride though it. Every thing is very clean.

Pretty busy but our spot was very private even being close to one of the restrooms.

Shenango Recreation Area is a very nice campground and boating area. The campsites are awesome, level and spacious. The restrooms however are outdated and could use a makeover. The shower rooms are honestly disappointing. They were dirty, old and the water temperature is not controllable. It did have hot water but to hot for most people especially children. The sign on the door stated they are cleaned periodically??? What does that mean, we spent 4 night there
Saturday-Wednesday and the showers were never cleaned. I understand the weekend but one would think they would be cleaned on Monday. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and will most likely return.

Take Exit 4B (formerly Exit 1) off I-80 and follow Route 18 north about 6 miles until you cross the lake's causeway. The park is on the left, but this is a divided highway. Continue north about 1/4 mile, take the Birchwood Drive exit, make the turn-around and go south on Route 18. Before you cross the causeway again, make a right onto West Lake Road and travel approximately 1/4 mile to the park entrance on the left.
