With extensive trails and picturesque views, campers can enjoy the great outdoors in a peaceful environment away from bustling city life. The site is especially favored for its quiet, rustic appeal and proximity to fascinating hiking routes.

Key Tips for Your Stay

  • Site Selection: Review the online maps carefully and choose a campsite located at the ends of the branches for increased space and privacy.
  • Access to Nature: The Mountain to Sea trail offers a scenic journey through the campsite area, culminating at Falls Lake. It's a total of 2.8 miles of easy hiking for nature lovers.
  • Amenity Considerations: Be aware there's no direct vehicular access to the campsites, which means you'll need to walk a bit with your camping gear. Bringing a dolly can help manage the transportation of heavier items.

This is one of the best campgrounds I've ever had. I selected site 39 and it's about 1 mile to get in and out. The sites are extremely quiet, compared to those campsites with vehicles. I can't hear any sound of engines in the morning nor in the night, and the only source of noise is the boats in the lake. There is no electricity in the site so I brought my own inverter. I carried it for half a mile and realized that I need a dolly, but my battery is not very heavy so I'm just okay. Two problems: 1. There is no laundry room around the site 2. burning fallen woods is not permitted.

Great camp area. Be sure to look at their online maps and pick a camp spot at the ends of the "branches" where you will likely have more space and privacy. Hike on the Mountain to Sea trail that cuts through Shinleaf (just before the loop parking lot) or hike down to the end of the Shinleaf campsite area. It is a total of 2.8 miles to do the entire, wide path trail down the middle of the Shinleaf campsites to a narrow point of Falls Lake. This path is super easy.

Day 1: Shinleaf Lot37. Closer to other campers than I wanted to be. Not as close to the lake as expected. Also didnt know that it was all walking and not like where you have your car by your camp site. Was not a fan walking half a mile for blowing up my air mattress and the bathroom was closed by our site Shower pressure was trash same with the temp. The last shower at the end didn't lock.

Shinleaf is one of our favorited trail we like to come. We like to take our kids for hiking here. My kids enjoy it so much!! We walk abt half a mile to the camp site and abt a quarter of mile to the lake. This place is beatiful!! The restrooms are cleaned!! We are thinking abt camping here someday!

Really nice camping facility with good amenities and easy trail access. Showers included and very nice to have after a day out hiking. Only put four stars because being decently close to the airport you get a good amount airplane noise into the night. Other then that exceedingly nice tent sites and great staff.
