A very quiet campground within walking distance to Shaver. The camp and restrooms are kept very clean.

@MicheleD939722 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #4
The campground was very clean, it had plenty of shade, and the camp hosts, Bo & Janelle were absolutely WONDERFUL!!! We would definitely recommend this campground over Camp Edison ANYDAY!!!

We come to Shaver Lake EVERY August and Jamie and Frank are always fantastic. Frank works so hard at keeping the "restrooms" clean and the sites raked and ready to go. The one issue we have is that the trees need to be trimmed. They are encroaching into the road and doing damage to our Motorhome when we drive to our spot. Also the water line going up the road by site #59 is still broken from last summer and the asphalt is damaged from the water leak. The infrastructure needs so love which has nothing to do with the camp hosts. The roads and the water spigots need to get fixed.

Camp hosts were very nice and helpful. I did not like the restrooms
@GinaO34200D7AD · Camped on Jul 24, 2024 at Campsite #57
Everything was great as usual. Camp hosts take very good care of the restrooms/campgrounds.

Beautiful
@EricG3571303 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #14
We liked how campsite #14 was right across from the bathrooms. The campsite was very clean. I would recommend a canopy for this campsite if you plan on going in the summer. My family had a great time!
@JesusB6E6CFD02 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #8
It was a great experience. We have such a great time with my family we enjoyed stay in the camping
@DianeL8145983 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #27
Excellent experience. Camp hosts Jamie and Frank have made the last 8 years so much better. They are awesome

Beautiful campground
@SarahW4027937 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #31
Wonderful clean camp, friendly hosts. Nothing beats floating on the lake on a hot summer day.
@ApolinarD82E09 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #32
Frank was very hospitable and friendly. Quiet peacful. Will be returning.
@EmilyB3587069 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #34
Clean and easy to navigate campground. Attendants and hosts were incredibly helpful and kind. Lake access is easy to walk to, and pathways are clear. Bathrooms are clean. Wonderful sites and great campground.
@AlexanderCC688 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #9
bonita la naturaleza.
@KennethK904423 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #17
Beautiful campground, helpful and friendly hosts, clean restrooms. Love Dorabelle.
@RobertoG4D131E · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #55
Beautiful campground, well-maintained, lovely surroundings with some big pines and cedar trees throughout, right down to the water at the lake. Swimming is fantastic, fishing looks plausible but we caught nothing. We really liked the campground host, they always accommodated us any way they could. Make sure you understand that the campground fee is only covering the parking for one vehicle; any other extras must pay a daily fee. We got the phone call "bring your own water" after we had already driven in our RV to Shaver Lake, so we had to scrounge it from a condo in town. Worse, there's no place to dump the holding tanks except at Camp Edison, and they are not friendly about it. Plan ahead. For such a heavily used campground, it is extraordinary how beautiful and preserved the grounds are. One bad: noisy neighbors throughout, this is a party campground being next to a lake with swimming and boating. We didn't get to sleep until around 1 a.m. Mid-week is probably better.
@SVF778D904E408 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #44
Janelle & Jamie are great hosts who are friendly and made sure the restroom is clean every day.
@KristinF940803 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #32
Great campground. Bathrooms kept clean. Campsites are pretty small, but sites on the outskirts of the campground are in the trees and are beautiful. Definitely recommend those!
@StevenS1501716 · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #31
Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Quiet throughout the night and weather was great. Lots of good fishing and water was just perfect for swimming.
@RyanJoseA40BC2 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #22
Beautiful site. Nice trail very nearby. We also got a site that was towards the edge that left us with no neighbors in earshot. We could just barely hear the other sites closing their bear boxes.

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!!!
