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.

It rained and hailed but this was still a beautiful site! Planning a return already. Will get a site by the river next time.
Bathrooms were so clean. Camp hosts are amazing.

Great place. Seconds to shell creek. Canyon runs east to west meaning you have Sun early morning to late evening.
Campsites are lined up along creek. Beautiful place.

Very pleasant experience next to the creek; the area felt relatively secluded, yet accessible. But I am writing mainly to compliment our camp hosts. They are a friendly couple who keep the facilities clean and well-maintained. Noticing that our family has small children, they surprised us with cake. (Our hostess told us she had baked it for an event that same morning and had plenty leftover to share. The kids enjoyed it!) Would gladly return for both the scenic beauty of the area and the hospitality. One note - shade makes all the difference at this location. If you choose a site on the side of the road that lacks trees and creek access, plan for ways to keep yourself cool, as there is no natural shade on that side. (We were on the shaded side near the creek and had no trouble keeping cool.)
