This is the second bad experience that we've had at Shenango River Lake. It will also be the last. This time, we reserved spot 205 in Old Duck Loop. We had not seen the site. I reserved it by making as phone reservation. After we checked it with the campground host, we drove our 30' motorhome to the site. One look was enough to see that there was no way that we were going to be able to back up into that site. The road was very narrow and there wasn't enough room to go into the grass to back up. Possibly if the site in front of 205 had not been occupied, we might have been able to pull into it and back into ours. In addition to that, there is a ditch on either side of the driveway into 205. There was no room for error in a difficult maneuver. If we had been able to back in, we would have been facing downhill since the site wasn't even close to being level. In addition to all that, I lost out on the money I paid for a three day stay but we COULD NOT back in. Never again.
