This is the second bad experience that we've had at Shenango River Lake. It will also be the last. This time, we reserved spot 205 in Old Duck Loop. We had not seen the site. I reserved it by making as phone reservation. After we checked it with the campground host, we drove our 30' motorhome to the site. One look was enough to see that there was no way that we were going to be able to back up into that site. The road was very narrow and there wasn't enough room to go into the grass to back up. Possibly if the site in front of 205 had not been occupied, we might have been able to pull into it and back into ours. In addition to that, there is a ditch on either side of the driveway into 205. There was no room for error in a difficult maneuver. If we had been able to back in, we would have been facing downhill since the site wasn't even close to being level. In addition to all that, I lost out on the money I paid for a three day stay but we COULD NOT back in. Never again.

We knew we would be arriving late so we tried to call ahead to let the rangers/staff know, but couldn't get anyone on the phone. We left a message and asked for a callback. Never got one. When we arrived, the area was flooded (9 feet above normal), so the campground was flooded. They had moved everyone to higher ground so we were packed in like sardines. If it weren't for some very nice folks at the campground, we probably wouldn't have been able to get our rig in the campsite because a.) it was SUPER dark, b.) the road we were on was underwater just past our site and we couldn't get a good position to back in and c.) our site was supposedly big enough for our 37 foot Class A, but it was up on a hill, with a very narrow driveway, at a really weird angle and required multiple eyes helping us get backed in. I am very thankful for the other campers that helped us out. The campground staff wasn't very helpful or friendly. My husband went to check us in the next morning and they were very rude to him about getting there so late. He told them we had tried to call and left a message, and they didn't seem to care. The high water caused a lot of excitement among the kids at the campground, and I totally get that, but if you've ever been in a flooded area, you know the dangers of what could be hiding in the water, not to mention actual electric hookups for RVs being underwater. Not one single person cared that these kids were playing on actual flooded campsites. I'm sure, under different circumstances, it would have been better, but our experience was NOT a good one.
