Shady Oak Campground

Accessible by paved road, Shady Oak Campground operates year-round with both full hookup and primitive sites spread across forested and open terrain. The facility accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with electric, water, and sewer connections available at designated sites. Gravel pads serve the full hookup areas, while grassy sites without sewer provide more of a traditional camping experience.

Staff maintain clean restrooms with hot water, though fixtures show their age. A dump station sits within walking distance for campers using the primitive sites with portable waste tanks. The small campground includes a pool and weekend activities. Rural surroundings feature working farmland where visitors often spot cattle and horses from the roadway. Travel to nearby towns requires 15-20 minutes by car. Cocalico Creek Campground offers another option for those preferring creek access.

Friendly and Cleean

Extremely friendly staff. Bathrooms were a little dated, but clean and great hot water. Full hookups and some grassy sites without sewer with more of a camping park feel. I preferred and stayed at the later. Full hookup sites were mostly gravel. Dump station is a short walk from sewerless sites, which is great if using portable waste tank. Lots of picturesque farmland around. Kids will love to see the cows and some horses near roadside as you drive. It takes 15-20 minutes to get anywhere though. That can be a pro or con depending on your preference. Sorry, no pics of the campground, but I found the nearby cows amusing :).

Quiet campground

It is a small quiet campground. If you are looking to relax this would be the place to go. They have activities throughout the weekend and a pool to cool off in.
