Clean and nice facilities and sites. Did have a bit of a walk from the Golden Loop electric sites to the shower building.

I have been going to shenango for years. It's my wife and my favorite camping area. Always so neat and very clean. Nice showers and restrooms. This year I must give kudos to 2 of your hosts one in site 56 and one in 77 or 79... both very knowledgeable and quote capable hosts...yinz are blessed to have them . Heck both of them even pointed out the benefit of the old folk lifetime pass which I now proudly carry. I hope to see the rangers and hosts next season... such a wonderfull campground

Very nice area; flashlight recommended after dark to manage encounters with local Mephitidae(especially if you have pets) which are benign, but present. Recommend!

We love it here the only reason it doesn’t get a excellent review is because there is no water hookup’s
