We had site 12 and had a very hard time finding the site. There needs to be more signs.

My only complaint is they do not enforce park closing hours. Influx of loud visitors/vehicles racing through park until well after midnight ruins the experience.

This is a lovely campground with awesome amenities. We return to the Bob Shetlier every chance we get.

Quiet site as we wanted. Facilities were all good. We enjoyed a brief visit and thought the grounds were great, welcoming and safe.

What an excellent campground! We enjoyed the area and the bike trails are amazing. I especially liked the butterfly garden. We were only there for a couple days and wish we had more time there. Site are nice and big. Quiet and relaxing.

Great place and location. We were at site 12 right on the river below the spillway. Everything was great except the bathroom access for wheelchairs. The facilities closest to the campsite doesnt provide a big enough stall for wheelchairs and the facilities across the river have a doorway entry thats too high for a wheelchair to go in or out of safely. Other than that issue, everything was clean, fun and the picnic tables were in great condition. The concrete pads make for easy leveling too. If they could do something about the bathrooms, this would be a 10 out of 10 spot for us. Close to everything too. If you forgot anything, stores are within a few miles. Can even order food from several close by restaurants. We spent 9 nights and wish wed had made it for a couple more days.

The setting was beautiful. Our dogs appreciated the green spaces.

Very peaceful! Even though we were along the river with fishing activity, it was still quiet. Loved the spacious cement camping pads! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful campground with great level sites and lots of grass and green area between you and your neighbor! Campground hosts were very friendly! Would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.
