"Shirley's is one of the prettiest campgrounds you will find. This campground sits along the shores of Clear Lake and is nestled under Magestic oak trees. The swimming beach and grounds are kept meticulous and clean. There is a nice lodge with comfortable seating and gaming for your use. The owner, Brian, is very friendly and helpful ."
"Weekend visit to a good friend’s camper community with all you could want in a park set up…Beautiful well kept lakefront, lawns and landscape. A gracious host Brian sets the tone. Honest, yesteryear friendly people sharing a slice of the good life!"
"Stopped by to check this place out. Absolutely lovely pop up farm store with fresh eggs and produce as well as some wonderful gift items. The chickens out and about were fun to see! It seemed like a well groomed nice quiet RV park that would be perfect! The beach looked beautiful and we saw a lot of available kayaks. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"Very mom and pop operation. Everything is basic, plentiful, and nice. There is not a lot of people. The campground had a nice beach. They have many large oak trees. Paddle boats, kayaks, docks, tree swings free for use. Very nice and pleasant people. Many wild birds being fed for sight seeing."
"I was there from the 30th to the 3rd, definitely would recommend. we were put in a site that was just finished, unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there but it was nice, Brian was great. dog friendly so that was even more of a plus. Only reason I gave 4 starts is because of the mud but again I was at a site that was just finished earlier in the day so not anyone's fault."
"The hosts of the Campground are wonderful to work with when needing any type of assistance to our seasonal site. Very accommodating. The Campground is growing and they are gradually adding more sites and accommodations. The view of the lake, beach, is gorgeous. We enjoy it here!"
"Was 1st time camping there. We stayed in the newest part. Big lots, fairly level. Downside is no view of lake and no trees in this part. Though owner did say was going to be transplanting some trees. There is no shower house as of yet. Overall great service and a nice place to stay."
