The campground is okay. Some sites definitely better than others. Unfortunately ours was so tiny and didn't have any shade from the trees. Fishing isn't great here either. It's a party lake on the weekends. So many people on the shores. People leave all their things on the shore overnight so even if you wake up early to beat the crowds, you still have to dodge all their belongings, canopies, floats, garbage on the shores. Guess it would be a good family lake. Just not a place for me. The good thing about this place is that the vault toilets are well kept and there is plenty of water spigots to supply your site. Otherwise, I'd skip this place.
We stayed at Dorabelle Campgrounds this weekend and it was by far the BEST camping trip we’ve ever taken and we’ve taken many over the years! We invited family who don’t enjoy camping very much and they all had so much fun! Everyone keeps asking when we we’re coming back again.. our hosts Frank and Jamie were amazing, super friendly and made sure we knew if we needed anything they were available .. the campground was immaculate and beautiful close to our private cove by the water it was a nice weekend for fishing .. Thank you Dorabelle for the awesome memories you helped us create, we can’t wait to come back!!
We camped at Dorabelle on the weekend of July 15. Beautiful kept campground. We stayed on campsite #7. It was spacious, and it had additional room up on a boulder. The bathrooms were near the campsite and were kept clean. A water spigot very nearby on the campsite. The lake is about a seven minute walk down the road. The camp host Beu and his partner were awesome! They came around in the mornings to greet everyone and to make sure we were doing good! Also, they were very helpful because our truck broke down two miles down the road from the campground and they recommended an awesome tow company that were able to help us out! We will definitely be coming back again!
09/24/22 space #48we where very disappointed by our stay here. Why bother to have camp rules when they are not enforced. Between the family with a chainsaw cutting dead trees for firewood to the family brawl which started at 10pm at night. This was my first time here camping and probably my last. The family managing the campsite where within listening distance from theses disturbances and completely ignored or just didn't care to get involved to stop any of it. Everyone that we complained to about this incident had a rationale for not dealing with it. I will not come back to this campsite..... I'm knocking the review down from 2:00 to 1 Stars because obviously they've read this review and they choose not to even respond to it.
This place is a gem. Very beautifully kept, easy access to the lake, right in town so you can grab supplies and what not, but don't feel like you're right down the street from everything. The camp hosts were so sweet and kept the bathrooms immaculate. I had to leave a day early because my dog had to be rushed to the vet, and before I was even done driving out of the campground, they had processed a refund for my last night-which I was not expecting at all. Thank you all so much, we'll be back!
We rented a trailer and got a spot close to the bathroom. Local staff SUPER nice and friendly. Each site has a table fire pit with moveable grill and a bear box. There are double sites too. This campground also has beach access. How quickly you access the water depends on which site you reserve. We went with friends and would probably get two spots facing each other instead of next to each other or next door to each other, for ease in the evenings when hanging together. Bathrooms have lights for night time use. No showers. Also, close to town access for restaurants and stores. There us also the day use area closer to shore. But you still have to hike down to the water.
Absolutely loved the entire experience. Beautiful campground. Walking distance to the town and everyone was polite and wonderful.
Had a great time. Shaver Lake is not too cold, clear water. Host/rangers were super nice. Mostly quiet. Don’t understand ppl and their total lack of consideration for their neighbors. Just turn down your music and lower your voices after 10 pm! Not that hard! One campsite got an angry but calm visit from my husband at 12:30am, and they were good after that. Bathrooms were so clean!! Was a little concerned when we saw there were toilet vaults but it was fine. Hook on the wall for hanging clothes.
Awesome campground. The campsites are great, lots of space and very clean. Good amount of space between campground so you get some privacy. The lake nearby is beautiful and the town close by looks pretty and has everything you need. Would definitely recommend.
Great campground. The restrooms were pretty clean as far as camp bathrooms go and the campground itself is nice! The sites are nice with enough parking for 2 cars, and they have a picnic table and bbq. There is ample wood around for a fire. The lake is close and a lot of fun to swim in. Finally, the staff is super nice! Happy to answer questions and offer advice.
