Shenango Recreation Area Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Lake access is the defining draw at Shenango Recreation Area Campground in Transfer, Pennsylvania. The New Duck Loop tends to attract more tent campers and has more open spacing between sites, while other loops lean toward RV setups with electric hookups. Bathrooms and showers are updated and consistently noted as clean. Firewood is available at host site 55 for $20 per tub, and ice is sold at check-in. No store on site, but campgrounds around Transfer put resupply towns within a short drive. Reservations are available, and pets are welcome.

Great clean place

Came tent camping here. Stayed on new duck loop, which from the looks of all the other sites, this one seemed more open, less R. V. Campers. Plenty of open spots even for the weekend. Place is clean, well kept, bathrooms are clean which is a plus. All the sites around have decent space between them. Close access to a lake. You can bring your boat

Love this place!

I've been coming here since I was born. I'm always drawn back to my roots. It's a great family campground with sites and hookups for everyone. No store, but Hermitage and Transfers PA are both 3 to 5 minutes away for whatever you need. Firewood is 20 dollars per tub but you get a ton of good dry wood. If your into RTT Like me check out old duck loop or new duck loop for some awesome sights. Playgrounds for the kids. Ranger activites on the weekends. Well policed and patrolled. Just a great place and beautiful lake! Fishing is top notch as well. Clean bathrooms and showers. Ice is available at check in, firewood at host site 55.
