Park was very clean. Bathrooms very good.All utilizes worked. Saw some spaces I will reserve next stay. Only one issue and it’s important. Dump station had problems. I’m sure they will get fixed soon.

I love Shoal Bay ,but the bathroom were clean but in need of repairs. I'm a single older camper and the ladies restroom is on the back of the building and after dark and alone is not fun .And this is in need of repairs it floods everytime you shower. And There needs to be Camp Host signs out if I needed them I wouldn't know where to go except for the nice man by the gate. Another than that one man.The cleaning crew are very nice and pleasant to talk to.If there is anyone else working I've not seen or talked to them .When I go out and in the one camp host is all I see .

Love it here I come a few times a year,but there needs to be some improvements on the ladies restroom. First of all there are two stalls but only one works and it floods everytime you shower. The restrooms are keep very clean but wet. The park attendent at the gate is very helpful in finding my site and checking me in,but when he is not there I don't see anyone. No signs to tell me where there are.The only time I seen any other one was when I messed up on my days and didn't get the right check in and out date and the man wasn't nice to deal with.

One of my favorite places to be! Campground is well kept and folks are friendly. Not a “party” place, hope it stays that way, nice peaceful and quiet.

Place needed mowed the people in charge of cleaning and mowing are not doing their job. Camper’s let their dogs run free. The last couple of years the place has gone downhill.
