One of the nicest campgrounds I’ve been to. Everything is new and updated, awesome pool for the kids and Adults. Plenty of shade. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel right at home. I’ve been to campgrounds that just have yuck feeling to them, whether it was the attitudes of the staff or the run down bathhouses with no doors on the stalls and no toilet paper. Shady Grove definitely raises the bar! There’s a calming sense of peace that surrounds the area. Whoever’s in charge of this campground is doing something right!

Great location. Only 1-1/2 from my house. Well maintained campground. Thoughtful activities held. My family and friends have made this our annual camping trip. Although it rained, and the haunted house was canceled, our large group that was scattered throughout the campground at 7 different sites, were able to spend time in the large pavilion playing family feud. Had a blast.

After traveling in a terrible storm that damaged our trailer, all I wanted to do was go home. But we were greatly surprised to find how helpful and welcoming this place was. The staff is amazing and the seasonal campers were so friendly. This campground is so family friendly I didn't want to leave. It is clean and can be quiet. Those driving golf carts were very respect. I have been to many different campgrounds and never felt like we were this welcomed. The wifi was the best we have had. Bingo was fun. We will go back. If you enjoy using bad language and blasting your rap this is not the place for you. Thanks to all for a great weekend and the man in the pond lol

Super clean! Very family friendly! Very reasonably priced. With your stay there is a lake for water sports, a playground, pool, and mini water park. We plan to go back next year and hopefully bring some family with us.

Really quiet campground. Great pool area. Nice lady at the front desk. Best WiFi I have ever had at a campground. Large sites. Lots are all gravel. But that’s okay with me.
