Shoreline Tent Camping

Newbie here!

I had no real expectations since this was our first adult camping trip (since cub scouts). We found the place without problems. We checked in quick and started setting up. Within a couple hours we had firewood and were enjoying the dinner by the beautiful pond. Betty was super nice and answered all of our questions. The bathrooms and showers were amazing and clean. We stayed 48 hours and went hiking, kayaking and fishing. The grounds were also very clean and the animals soooo friendly! I loved this place and am sure we will be back!

Booked this spot at last moment noticed and arrived pretty late my fault , place was very cool loved waking up to goats and the sound of geese. Easily accessible in a car with coilovers. Bathrooms were decent . Would recommend for a cheap stay . I had a car / roof top tent setup.

Lake View RV AC Hookups

We had a great time camping at Wilderness Shores. Check-in was easy. The site was clean with a great lake view, and the staff were friendly & helpful. We had longhorns that hung around our campsite the first night. Interacting with the different animals was a truly unique & enjoyable experience. We're already planning our next stay.

Diamond in the rough!

Absolutely amazing place!!!! Tom was so awesome showing us around & really hooked us up on our camping location. They have range free goats, horses & longhorns. Make sure you feed them because that an adventure in & of itself. The swinging bridge was the most peaceful. And catching bass 10’ from your site…. We’ve already booked with them again. I suggest at LEAST 2 nights 3 days, minimum.
