Only the Old Duck Loop was open when we went but restrooms were very clean and most sites had a great lake view. We drove up to Pymatuning and into Sharon to visit Daffin's candy. Very nice time!

Wow! What great sites, right on the water. Beautiful sunsets at night! Showers were nice and hot with great water pressure!! Sites were a little close to each other but all in all a 5 star campground.

The campground was clean and well kept. The upper half of the loop has electrical service, the bottom half, where we were, does not, which meant that people had generators going all day and all night. Some were loud enough that they could be heard inside our camper. This is just something to keep in mind if you choose to camp in the non-electric half of Old Duck loop.

The campsite was in need of gravel and therefore it was very muddy. When we arrived, we tried to move to another site and although we were told by recreation.gov that other sites were available, those sites were taken by other campers. It was confusing and not helpful

First time at Shenango. Unfortunately picked site 221. Wind was relentless and, mixed with rain, produced chills that made my stay a constant challenge rather than a pleasant experience. Branches and acorns pummeled my trailer day and night. Sites within 50 yards were calm and warmer. May return but never to the same site.
