I stayed in a 38' Motorhome pulling a vehicle. The sites I had 106 &108 were full hook up and quite spacious but they had P gravel for a base which was very loose, and not compacted and it would of been nice if it was as it made the sites a little unlevel and they have no internet which would be nice to have available. But overall, a good spot and would stay again.

Beautiful facility in a beautifully location, very quiet yet still convenient to Interstate 57.
@RobertK4087757 · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #64
Nice quiet spot, sites close together but paved pad and road.
@KatieM6062957 · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #66

showers and restrooms clean and hot showers. Clean and friendly campgrounds. Large campsites
@DeborahC371835 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #6
Large, shaded site with plenty of grass and a lake view.... I wish I had a summer home exactly where we parked the camper. This park is a true gem.
@PhilD5861637 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #100
Host were fantastic and even checked us in after hours. :) Bath houses clean but could certainly use a new coat of paint.Pull thru sites have plenty of room; some have room for two vehicles, camper and boat and room to spare!The dog park is also great with a side for large dogs and one for small dogs.Thank you!

Restrooms and showers need to be updated. Some of the family restrooms need locks fixed.
@PaulR8FA12B771 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #139
Great campground with clean bathrooms, next to scenic Lake Shelbyville and Sullivan marina and beach.
@RichardW654682 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #134
I love camping at BoWoods. I appreciate whoever is cleaning the bathrooms . I do wish the camping check out was earlier than 4:00 pm. Is there anyway it could be made at 1:00pm?ThanksRich

This was our first time using this app. It was very user friendly and our one night stay was amazing! We are grateful!
@MarkD7704923 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #24
Great sights! Well taken care of. The bathrooms aren't that great and not clean at all, but I would imagine they just need a new cleaning vender.
@RonaldJ5E2C6F9 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #112

@JamesH5225020 · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #108
Camped here many times at different sites. Always great trips.
@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #73
Have stayed there the same week for four years. Its always been a great experience. Clean and level sites. We go with a group of 19 people. Would recommend Forest Bo Wood campground highly.
@BJH479F85A5543 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #90
Big, spacious and clean. Very friendly staff. Although not a negative, the entrance is a little tedious - like threading a needle.
@DebbieF4738575 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #66
I cant say enough good things about this campgrounds. The sites were long and level. Our site was 115 in length. Long enough for our truck, boat and camper. Just a short walk down a path and could walk down to the boat. The lake was nice and quiet. Not many boats on the water as we would have expected. Would highly recommend!
@gretchenh661AE · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #19
Campground and site were both very nice.
@KennyM2307418 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #57
We've stayed at Bo Woods many times. It's always clean, even the bathrooms. Some of the sites are VERY long. They all seem level. Shelbyville Lake is beautiful.
@LorenMEE33A8AF · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #45
Beautiful campground and Campsite with lake view. Very friendly hosts.A bit disappointed in the messy firepit, and we cleaned it up for the next campers . Had a heavy rain one night and a Camp Swampy for most of the next day until in drained away. Had to leave day early, and was pleasantly surprised to get a day's refund! Didn't expect that. The full shade was very nice in 90's temps. 4.5 stars outta 5.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
