Lovely grassy wooded campsites. The campground was very full, but it was quiet and peaceful.

We have enjoyed Shenango Shenanigans for many years… we have a group of 5-7 families that get together and go every year. The kids enjoy the enrichment activities provided by the rangers and of course Bobber.
Our campground hosts were wonderful and promptly took care of the one problem we had when a neighboring camper was attempting to empty their black water into a 5 gallon bucket!!! ( I know disgusting right!!)

Our stay was good and uneventful. The Mahaney recreation area is beautiful.

The campground was fine, the neighbors left quite a bit to be desired.
