Your Camp Questions Answered!
FAQ

How do I book a Group Camping Site?

To book a group campsite, your group must meet the minimum requirements for each site. You can book these group sites quickly through the booking engine or email us for more information at groups@shawspointresort.com. Be mindful of the minimums. If the minimums are not met, you will be charged for those missing units for most of the reservation to compensate for wasted services. The primary camper reserving the campsite will be required to pay for the whole duration of the reservation for their unit and the total for the building on-site for the entire duration.
There are no exceptions for cancellations. Cancellation fee could be applicable, case by case.
Each RV pays for their camping duration upon the time of arrival.
Where do I book a boat rental?

Boat rentals are to be booked at the store NOT over the phone. We ask you do this to ensure waivers are signed and forms are completed. If you are not camping within the resort please call the morning of the day you would like to book, as the preference of the rentals will be first given to those residing within the resort.
What time is checkout?

Checkout for Rv's is 1pm. Checkout for Cabins is 11am. Checkout for Day Use is 10pm. Please keep in mind we do have regular security monitoring.
How do I get a seasonal site?

You can go into the Seasonal tab here under Information on the website, and at the bottom is the application. Print it out, fill it out and email it to seasonals@shawspointresort.com
How do I get a camping spot?

We offer a hybrid system between online reservations and a first-come-first-serve basis. Follow the steps online to choose your ideal site and pay when booking to receive your confirmation number for a quick and seamless check-in. Or pull up to the window with your RV in tow and inform us of what you're looking for, and we will accommodate you to the best of our ability.

What happens if there are no serviced campsites available?

This 2024 season, we will continue to offer overflow, but to a limited extent. The 2025 season overflow will not be permitted, and all reservations are required.
