We only stayed overnight on our way to somewhere else, but we would come back. The location and layout of the campground is beautiful. Gate attendants were welcoming and helpful. Didnt use the bathrooms, but our site was very nice.

I love camping there but I hate that you have to reserve a spot so far in advance. I believe first come first serve is better
@MargaretR75440 · Camped on Oct 16, 2024 at Campsite #125
Walking is difficult because most of the time you have to walk on the main roads and most of the campers drive way over the posted speed limit.

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.
@AlisonA9446259 · Camped on Sep 4, 2024 at Campsite #12
Wish the Handicap sites would have more shade. Maybe pave some with full hook-up that are in shade. The area was very very clean. Seems like we'll taken care of.

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

@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!
@JoeS9925475 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #82
Restrooms and showers need to be updated. Some of the family restrooms need locks fixed.
@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #40
Site 40 is a nice pull thru site however it has a poor placement for the sewer connection. It is all the way at the back of this long site making it difficult to use
@PaulR8FA12B771 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #139
Great campground with clean bathrooms, next to scenic Lake Shelbyville and Sullivan marina and beach.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
