What a disaster!!! I have no idea who is being paid to write good reviews, but this place is NOT like the website at all. The grounds are just horrid..unkept..grass that looks like it has never been cut..piles of wood every where, and where are all the trees? If this is what the grounds look loike i can just imagine...

If you are thinking of staying here, don't!!!! We stayed from May 15th-August 19th 2012 just to help our son get established in Plattsburgh. Some say it's quiet and they are right. The reason for this is NO ONE IS THERE!!!!! The owners are soooooooo rude. When talking to Lousie she won't even look up from the desk or book... More

I camped at Shady Oaks on August 11 & 12th and I will never go back. The owners are rude and lack any warmth of any kind. In an almost empty campground (I wonder why?), they placed us in a sight behind the office, next to the pile of broken pic nic tables and an old tractor with weeds growing... More

We are currently staying at Shady Oaks (for the last time ever). Let me preface this by saying this place has the potential to be an excellent campground. It is located close to the Plattsburgh Beach, Lake Champlain Ferry (to Vermont) and close to the city of Plattsburgh. Unfortunately, it is faf from excellent. As soon as we arrived, it... More

I have never been camping anywhere like this place...sort of makes me not want to camp..We were bothered for small petty things. I am there to relax...not to be bothered. The place need a lawn mower, not to mention a huge clean up. The people who claim to bethe owners were a real class act..Rude, Nasty, and from what I... More

The web-site is very misleading, those pictures must have been taken some time ago. The place is run down and the grounds are not well kept. The staff were rude and made sure to give us a long list of rules. Which I thought to be very harsh for what was advertised as a friendly camp ground. We would not... More

We stay at Shady Oaks several times a year for shopping and Dr. Visits as we live two hours away from these amenities. The surroundings are lovely and rural and it is 15 minutes to the shopping in Plattsburgh. Also the beach at the state park on Lake Champlain. After reading the previous reviews I have to comment that I... More

Of all the campgrounds we have stayed at, this has to be the worst. The staff were so inpolite and the grounds were very untidy. Too many silly rules. Their personality sucked. They really should be reviewed and consider not listing their campground in any camping books or internet website - very pathetic. Will never recommend this campround again.

If the grass has been cut and the grounds kept in better shape maybe the flies and mosquitos would not have been so plentiful. The owners (managers?) need a lesson in being more friendly. There were so many rules to follow (i.e. buddy system in pool (water very cold), how to separate the garbage and recycling, helmets for small bike... More
