Nice clean place for camping and picnics and kinda nice having the spillway there to fish

Bob Shetler Campground is a peaceful and well-kept spot near the Saylorville Dam. The sites are clean, spacious, and easy to access. I love that it’s right by the dam where I used to catch some giant fish — perfect for anyone who enjoys fishing and relaxing by the water. A great place to unwind close to the city

It's a nice place but a lot of people just throw their trash all over instead of in the receptacles. There's a picnic place, campground, you can fish here. The one thing that I wish that they would do is have like a little walkway path for accessibility for people like in wheelchairs and whatnot as we went the ground was a little soft for somebody in a wheelchair to get to the picnic table .
