I've had a permanent site at Shady Brook for 2 seasons now, and I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I’ve made. This place has truly become a home away from home. The staff is always friendly, professional, and quick to help with anything you need. From the first day, they made me feel like part of a community, not just another camper. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with clean facilities, well-kept sites, and plenty of space to relax. Whether you’re here for the weekend or the whole season, it’s clear the team takes pride in keeping everything in top shape. The amenities—like the pool, playgrounds, walking trails, and event nights—are a big bonus and help make every visit feel like a mini vacation. What really stands out is the sense of community among seasonal campers. It’s the kind of place where neighbors look out for each other, share laughs around a fire, and genuinely enjoy being part of the same campground family. If you're thinking about a seasonal or permanent site, I highly recommend Shady Brook. It’s peaceful, welcoming, and well-run—exactly what you want in a long-term camping spot.

We did not stay there because of my mix up with the locations of this one and another one 2 hours away, shady brook looks like it would be an amazing place to camp but it was a bit farther then we could manage to go, we hope to go someday as the manager/owner I’m not sure exactly Brenda was more then patient and more then responsive to my calls and messages, no problem when I had to cancel my reservation last minute and just over all a delight to speak with, thank you so much once again!

Loved it here!! Tent camped for a weekend and had a great experience. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and neighborly and the campground staff made sure we had everything we needed. Bathrooms were extremely clean and the showers were hot. At night the grounds are very quiet and you get a great view of the stars. Thank you for all of the hospitality and a great stay!!!

When we got there the owner Dave made us feel great. It's such a pleasure being there. Was nice to relax and hike, swim. The seasonal campers are also very friendly. Made new friends up there. Will definitely recommend and go back. There just 1 tiney thing, wish there was a game room for my teen's girls but otherwise excellent place.
