Nice campground with electric only sites in some of the loops. The showers are dated. I'm sure they're clean, but they don't look it. A trip to Handel's ice cream was a highlight.

Shenango is a very family friendly camp area experience. There are many sites to choose from including sites on the lake front. Our site was clean and plenty big for our camper and boat.

Relaxing and peaceful in the day. Watch out as soon as it gets dark. Skunks invaded. Every single night. No food out but they swarmed our site. We had kids so it was very hard to enjoy a fire when the skunks came and we had no choice but to go inside the tents.

The campsite was nice and shady. It was not too far from a restroom. There was enough room to put up 2 tents. It was nice and roomy, not feeling crowded. We just could not enjoy a fire at night because of the skunks. Was not able to make moon pies. The kids were disappointed. There was one skunk that was mean. It came after me and chased me into my tent and then scratched at my tent. But other than that, I had wonderful time.

We have been coming to Shenango Lake Campground for many, many years, multiple times a summer.
We tent camped this past week. The skunks ruined our time. We were trying to sit by our campfire & there were 3 of them at our campsite. We were terrified. This happened for 2 nights in a row!
We were also woke up at 7:30 in the morning to numerous lawnmowers cutting the campsite’s grass. I feel that 7:30 is an unacceptable time to do that & that was very rude to the occupants of the campground. We were all woke up because of this.
We will not be back here because of these 2 reasons.
