Easily reservable online, we were able to line it up same day and pop right into our pull thru spot as soon as we arrived. The is one street light in the campground and I wish it wasn't right next to site 26, but not enough to spoil a perfect evening. As our campfire dwindles in the late evening, we know the memories and appreciation we have will never fade. Thanks to Hamilton county for a truly wonderful park!

Shady Brooks campground really lives up to its name. I would not recommend it to anyone. We…read morereserved a spot and when we got to the campground and got to our site we would not fit in that site or any sites there. I went and ask for refund she proceeds to tell me that there will be a $50 fee to return my money and it should take 5-7 business days. Then I wake up to a text several days later stating that Shady Brooks will not be giving me a refund.. Also when I paid for a month she added sales tax . Who does that at a campground because everyone I've been to the tax is already included. They are just scamming left and right at that campground! This is what she sent me: Hi Andrew, this is Dena with Shadybrook Camping. I just wanted to let you know that you will not be getting a refund due to our very strict cancellation policies, and the fact that your camper fit just fine in your site. Or we could have put you in a different site. Our policies are on our website, if you want to look at them. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks. This woman never came out to the campground site so she has no idea how we wouldn't fit there or in any of them to park 44ft fifth wheel with a deck that opens more less park two vehicles, and a enclosed trailer!

They're…read moreadvertisement is very misleading the road in is a dirt road and at the entrance there is a steep grade to the office from there the road is washed out the entrance to our site (4) was completely washed out. We decided not to risk turning our fifth wheel over trying to get into the site. We proceed to leave and had to put our truck in 4 wheel drive to get up and out of the campground nearly turning our camper over. The campground in next to the interstate and the highway noise is terrible. The owners refuse to reimburse our payment. I Do Not recommend this campground!!!

Nice little hidden campground on the edge of Clear Lake. The campground is only 3 years old. The…read moreonly downfall is that it's a seasonal campground. No weekly or weekend stays. Only 6 months stays and you pay up front. Most sites are big enough for big rigs. All back in. They only have about 6 sites that are pull-thru. All sites have 50 amps and water. No laundry facilities in the campground, but they are planning to build one in the near future. All lakes are stocked with fish to go fishing. Bring your kayak or paddle boat to enjoy the peaceful settings. There is a long hiking trail that goes around the lakes. Very beautiful. They have a small basketball court and playground for kids to enjoy. Again, it's a pretty new campground so they are still building and working around the RV sites.

From the owner: We are a seasonal campground open every year from April 15th - October 15th! We have amazing…read morefishing ponds, sandy beach area, bath house, beautiful waling trails, basketball court, playground & more...
