Very nice campground with many recreational areas in the immediate vicinity.

Went to see all the water that was being released due to the amount of rain we got and filled up the reservoir. Great place to fish, go for a walk, barbecue or just to hang out.

Just to busy people who are fishing walk right through ur camp site even as ur sitting eating dinner they have no respect for u just like are current president just not a place to take ur family

Very clean, well kept. Sites were spacious and as described. Sites are electric only but water and dump station available for your onboard tanks. My site 13 was near the spillway and the sound of the rushing water was a nice background. Hard to find fault at $20

I like camping at Bob's Shelter because it's clean, comfortable and fairly quiet. We are camping here as I write this (September 3-6 2021)..its our 3rd time so far.

Very nice Corp of Engineers campground located at the base of Lake Sayerville dam. Close by marina for boating and fishing. Sites are gravel and not completely level. There is a good amount of space in each site but no significant privacy. Bathroom was clean but showers were flooded and temperature of the water could not be regulated.

Very nice quiet campground, wish it had water and sewer hook up

Dam spillway is amazing, quite the experience. Riveting to watch knowing if you fell in would not survive one minute. Clean, well maintained little park with many friendly and considerate fellow visitors
