Visitors often highlighted the spacious lakefront sites with good views and clean facilities at budget-friendly rates. Several guests reported problems regarding older shower facilities and occasional noise issues from bugs or marina activities.

All the shade

This site is narrow, so much so that we can't use our awning, but man, do we have shade!

Great Place

Just got back after 2 days there.  Sites are spaced a good distance apart, nice clean lots with fire ring, picnic table and 30 amp.  The flush restrooms are cleaned everyday and very nice.  I picked site 69 which overlooks the lake and was less than 30 yards from water edge.  Site very from 100% sun to 100% shade so you have a lot to choose from.  Highly recommend it to anyone will will be back soon.

A little rowdy but everyone nice

Way off the beaten path but we had a good time. The campground was clean and everyone was nice. It did get a little rowdy on the weekend but folks respected the quiet hours.

Bathrooms decent with showers.

T-Mobile and Verizon in places. Hard to get in a camper Several sites that can take advantage of Starlink.

Electric Only Site with a View

Flat level gravel site with plenty of space to spread out with an amazing view of Truman Lake and Long Shoal Marina. Lakeside site with view of the open sky. Picnic table, fire ring

Poor Verizon coverage, TMobile a little better. Enjoyed lunch and breakfast at the restaurant in the marina.

With America the Beautiful Senior pass, cost of site was $10 per night

Clean bathrooms and showers. Dump station and fresh water fill station at camp ground entrance

Great lake view

Even though it was very humid and hot this still a fun campground. If your lucky enough to get a campsite across from the marina on a summer Friday or Saturday night. Stay up and listen to the drunk karaoke 😳😁

Spacious sites - pretty views

The weather is not under control of Long Shoal unfortunately. Our plans included some kayaking however the relentless rain and wind did not allow it. That aside I can see the park is well laid out with ample space between sites. Most will accommodate the largest rigs. The only service is electrical. A dump is provided, along with trash bins at the entrance. Potable water facets are scattered around. Some are close enough to sites to connect directly but that may not be allowed. The central rest room, shower& laundry building is typical for an aged facility. It does need updating. The town of Warsaw is close with many favorite retail and food services including Walmart.

Great views, nice sites, okay amenities.

Stayed 7/22/200 - $15/night

Site 97

Lake-view sites, beaches, flush toilets and showers, all for$15/night. Don’t have super high expectations.

PROS:

Great sites on the water. Good space with picnic table and fire rings with a grate. Site 97 was on a corner, with a neighbor to one side, and lots of space between sites to the other.

CONS:

Showers aren’t great. Cobwebs and mold. First door didn’t even lock. Wide gaps with no curtain. No soap in bathrooms.(During COVID). Can’t expect much for$15/night, but bathrooms/showers were disappointing.

You can setup in the grass, right by the water and enjoy the beach. The ranger also told us of beach access just outside the park, across the street. Bathroom/shower house was a bit of a walk from our site, but nothing crazy. Worth it for the views. No problems with AT&T cell service.

Clean, good shade, lakeview sites

They have electric only sites and primitive.  Shower house is always clean and well maintained.  They recently have replaced all wood picnic tables with aluminum and are working on redoing all the restrooms.   We love camping here.
