What Guests Are Saying
Shell Creek Campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained environment, featuring clean restrooms and friendly hosts who go above and beyond to assist campers. The picturesque location, nestled among large pine trees and alongside a charming creek, enhances the overall experience. While there were some minor issues such as generator noise and biting flies, the positives greatly outweigh the negatives, making it a highly recommended spot for campers.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay at Shell Creek Campground. The campground host Dale was so helpful. He was able to switch our campground to a tent only site which was located right along a rushing stream and was just perfect. He also provided firewood and checked in with us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. He was the friendliest and most helpful campground host we had on our 30 day trip. The campground and bathrooms were well maintained, quiet and scenic.

Really nice campground, not far off the highway. Nicely taken care off, great camp host and having the creek running next to you made for a wonderful experience.

Great place to visit. Liked it better when the Forest Service ran it. The current hosts are nice enough but they block the gate when they close down. Liked it better when you were able to stay after season even though the water was turned off. Inwonder why they don’t keep it open with a volunteer host after the concessionaires closing date.
