We were at Site 62 and had a fantastic time. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful! The quiet hours were respected by fellow campers. The grounds are well maintained and it was a nice relaxing vacation!

We have camped at Shenango for forty years and love the campground. There us a major skunk problem there now. It is hard to even sit at your campfire because they invade your site. Unable to cook anything after dark and you really have to be careful with your pets. That us the only issue we had.

We recently had an incredible and relaxing camping experience at Shenango Recreation Area Campground, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The entire park is well-maintained and thoughtfully managed.
Our campsite was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The picnic table and fire ring were both in excellent condition. The level gravel pad would’ve made setting up a camper effortless, but since we were tent camping, we used it as a picnic area under our canopy. There was also a level grassy area large enough to comfortably fit two tents.
The restrooms were among the cleanest I’ve seen at any campground—odor-free, well-stocked with toilet paper, and clearly cared for. However, there were no paper towels or dispensers, so be sure to bring your own or be prepared to air dry your hands. The showers were hot with surprisingly strong water pressure. Only on our last day did I notice a minor drainage issue during a shower, but it didn’t detract from the overall experience.
One of the highlights was how peaceful the nights were. Quiet hours were respectfully observed, and the gentle sounds of crickets and a crackling fire made for restful, uninterrupted sleep. We also appreciated the presence of park rangers—they were friendly and helpful without being intrusive.
Whether you’re a first-time camper or a seasoned outdoor enthusiast, Shenango Rec Area is a true gem. Clean facilities, respectful fellow campers, quiet nights, and thoughtful upkeep made this a truly wonderful trip!

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.
