Great little visit and walk through town. Grabbed some food and just took a nice walk for about 7 blocks and enjoyed the weather and sights.

Shawnee State Park

Reviewed By Nicole0223 - Hamilton, United States

We stay at the Shawnee State Park campground and it was amazing! They have running water in the restroom, shower houses with hot water, and a laundry facility. We had campsite 11 and it was spacious with shade and plenty of room for our two cars (a truck and car) and two tents. They had a fire ring and picnic table and electric so we were able to charge phones (no cell service) and run fans. There was multiple hiking trails located at the camp ground and access to the lake for finishing, swimming, and kayaking. The campground is dog friendly. With COVID happening right now all sites must be reserved prior to showing up (plan ahead) and the camp store was not stocked (no ice, very little firewood) so come prepared with everything you need. I highly recommend staying here and hiking!
