Camp Edison

This is a very large campground that is well maintained and run. There are about 7 different loops to choose from and a full marina. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the loops but if you want to be close to the water book far in advance. They have organized nature walks, science education, a museum and even a band on the weekend so there is no shortage of things to do. Lastly the lake is an easy walk and beautiful to swim in.

We stayed here toward the end of August and the campground was full on Saturday and Sunday but cleared out on Monday and Tuesday and most sites were empty.

They do charge a $6/night fee if you have a dog.

We tent camped at Camp Edison in October 2016. (Warm days but cool nights). Senior discount is available. Our campsite was spacious and secluded considering we were next to the bathrooms and showers which was just a short walk away. Our camp host was gracious and welcoming. Our only complaint was about campers who, luckily, stayed only one night across the road. They had about 20 adults/kids on two sites and they strung a huge street light type light between them that they refused to turn off at 10 pm even when told by host and rangers. We thought the rules of the campground should've been strongly enforced, in this situation. They also trashed the lavs which had to be cleaned a bit more often. Other than that, all the other campers followed the rules and were courteous of others. We had a great time. My sister and her family camped in site 5 next to us and it was very nice as well. I've also include a photo of their site. The small town of Shaver Lake has some good eating spots if you want a break from cooking.
