Site 12 - Tent Camping at Shady Brook
Bad camp spot
We got there and we had to change tent sites 3 times before we liked where we were. The freeway was so loud we had to yell at each other to hear what we were saying. The bathroom was over crowded with how many people were there. Only one bathroom for 50 people. It really tucked. We had a tent site for 2 days but we were out of there the next morning. I will never go back to this camp spot

Site 1 - Tent Camping at Shady Brook
Lovely night in Earlham
Beautiful place to pitch a tent in a thunderstorm. I was greeted by the host on arrival. The shower room was clean and modern. Small town just down the road with a grocery store.

Floating Bed
Loved the floating bed in the tree. Threw a sheet on the 'floor' & slept great all night. Plus the nearby bathroom facility was about the cleanest/best at any campground I've ever been to.

Beautiful spot! Well maintained and clean as can be. A nice hot shower after a long road day!

The Guest Cottage
Great stay!!
The cottage was cozy and was as described! We definitely appreciated the fans and ac unit, since it's summertime.
It's a little trek up and down a small elevation for a bathroom. That would have been a little harder with our kids, but was ok with the two of us. Overall, I'd recommend checking it out!

Site 3 - Tent Camping at Shady Brook
Peaceful, restoring tent site
Believe it or not, Shady Brook actually has a shady brook and Tent Site 3 is wrapped by it. The sound of that brook at night was such a pleasant backdrop. The site itself is well back from the rest of the RV park so there is a good measure of privacy and seclusion and quiet in general.
Shady Brook in general is an absolute gem of a facility. Extremely clean. Extremely well kept. The layout is basically a large circle with short drives directed outward for RV parking. The tent sites are placed at the far end of the circle from the entry so any traffic from RVs is limited. The circle itself is on a bit of a slope but all the sites are level themselves. There are ample potable water sources and a bathhouse that looks highly accessible for those with physical disabilities.
One thing I truly admired about this site was just how family-friendly it is. The center of that circle is one very well kept lawn and there are some playground sets there for kids, as well as a big tree swing. This area also has a communal fire pit as well as a covered picnic area.
Dave and company run a great campground and the office facility itself is quite helpful. You can buy some basic supplies, firewood, fire starters, and even order pizza and some other food. There is a washer and dryer as well.
Overall, well, I arrived here in the middle of a cross-country trip, planning to move on the next day. It was so peaceful I decided within the first 20 minutes to stay an extra day. I'm glad I did.
