Bo Wood Campground

Great overall campground for Lake Shelbyville. I would camp here again but at a different site. If there is any chance of rain, do not stay in site 44. We had rain on Saturday and then again on late Sunday afternoon. Other sites in the area dried as expected. Site 44 did not. I could not walk out of my camper without having water soak up through the rug and over my shoes. It pooled water and flooded the site. The site really needs to be reworked by the grounds team and fix this drainage issue.

This campground is quite nice. There are multiple sections. The guard gate area is very large for accommodating multiple vehicles for sign in along with two dump stations. Pull through spots in sections are very well sized, back in sections are varying sizes with varying views. Some have lake views/access for beaching. There are jungle gyms. There is a picnic area past the boat ramp. The areas are usually kept clean and there are many bathrooms. Boat ramp is easy to use but there is a fair amount of traffic near it so there are a lot of waves ( not a large no wake area as in a cove). Mostly flat so great for kids to ride bikes, roller skate, etc.. Camp store prior to entering. Close to Sullivan if supplies are needed. Close to North End bar and grill (located on the water with land access)

I stayed at tent only site. It was right on the lake. Unfortunately you didn’t have the best view a lot of bushes in the way. But they did have a bench close to where you could sit and look at the lake. The site did have a very large pad to accommodate several tents. It did have electricity. That’s a plus for me. Bathrooms are clean the grounds kept very nice. It was quiet and very relaxing. I will return. I’d like to see what it looks like in the fall. I would’ve gave it a five except for not having the best views of the lake if they would only cut the bushes down and leave the trees. I would definitely say five.

By luck of a cancellation we camped only 2 nights on the water. If this back in site fitting our 35’ 5th wheel, Montana High Country would not have been reserved we would have stayed extra nights. Quiet, beautiful hiking trails & looks to be very nice cabins to rent, secluded. We are hopeful our journeys will take us back there! Highly recommend it!
