The campground is very well maintained, quiet, and the staff that works there is very friendly and welcoming. We definitely will be staying there again.

We go here for our fishing charter. Easy to find. Bathrooms always clean even at 4AM. All the captains are really nice. Captain Jerry with the Originator is our favorite.

Great campground! Nice bathrooms that are well taken care of. Beautiful view of the river and easy access to it. We love coming to Shamrock Park every year!

I needed a place last min, so I took a primitive tent site, which was right by the river. Clean bathrooms, a bit of a walk but ok. Quiet at night, very nice staff. Great location, there is a little town with restraunts, grocery, and hardware store, even some antique stores. Plus you are right next to the river and only 20-30 min from Lake Michigan.
