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.
