Shady Oaks Family Campground in Newmanstown, PA

It was a nice place with fun activities for labor day. The hiking trails provided beauty in the woods.

Very friendly, family oriented campground.

As seasonal campers at Shady Oaks, we love the people, staff and family atmosphere. There are activities, a nice swimming pool, wagon rides, Friday night bingo, and crafts. There are special events like their late summer car show, DJ nights, and even live bands. The upcoming Halloween weekends are fun with haunted hayrides and kid friendly barrel rides. Shady Oaks Family Campground has something for everyone, and bring your dogs along, as they are pet friendly. You can even visit the goats and "Dusty", the campground's friendly cat and Ambassador! Highly recommended!

Stayed two weekends. Loved it. Friendly and helpful staff. Quiet camping and great playground.

We are on a family trip from Maine to Tennessee and needed to find a safe place halfway through to stay for the night. We selected Shady Oaks based on proximity and their excellent reviews. And we were so happy we did! We were welcomed with open arms. Very clean and you can tell the owners were taking efforts to continually maintain the campground. Hopefully our return route brings us back this way as we will definitely stay here again!

Excellent campground, many activities and very kid and pet friendly.  Everyone is very friendly and the owners Kevin and Chris were very helpfully ! The sites are all level and it’s kept very clean .  We camped there 2 times now and are looking forward to many more times!  It’s definitely worth a camping trip there!

Very friendly owners and a well maintained campground.

Great car show, excellent food, nice prizes for the winners!  An excellent fundraiser for NVFD! Thank you for your support!

We had a great time. Everyone we met were very friendly and welcoming. There are several stray cats that were one of my daughters hilghts. The cats are very friendly and were happy for both my daughters to pet them. They have multiple playgrounds that kept the girls busy. The pool was very nice. It seems to be a salt water pool with some trees overhanging it on one side for shade. You could still lay out in the sun on the other side. The lots are close to flat but close enough that we didnt use blocks for ours. Over all a great experience!

Had a great experience! Thanks for having me!

I almost don't want to review this place and keep it a secret for myself! Very nice place for a relaxing weekend. We spent Labor weekend there and it was so quiet I couldn't believe it. There are a lot of permanent sites but  everyone we dealt with or came across was very friendly. There are
2 nice playground for the kids, activities  and a Hayride certain days. The bathhouse was clean and the pool looked very nice.  Its a great location to visit the the area from. The price we paid was also very reasonable. We will definitely return.
