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

We love camping at Shenango Lake! Had a site right on the water with a fantastic view and access to the water.
My only wish is that they would update the bathhouses. The shower stalls have curtains but it would be nice if they had doors that latch similar to the toilets for privacy and a bit of security when showering. The water is always nice and hot though!
Electric hook ups on the waterfront sites would make this campground really hard to beat!
Still one of our favorite places to camp!

We had an absolutely great time on our vacation camping trip. We brought all the kids for their first time and they had a blast. Shenango Lake was were I camped as a kid. So it was super nostalgic for me. I learned to ride my bike there without training wheels, and my son did just that on our stay! Overall happy and satisfied. Everyone was polite, the camp host Franciene was absolutely amazing and was a true selfless person! We will definitely back, if not this year, many trips will be planned next year! Thank you for the great time and memories!
