Great campground. The sites are spacious and level. Most are well shaded. You only get electricity at the site, but there are multiple water taps available. For 2020, the bathrooms are closed. So, you need to be self-contained. The lake is wonderful! 2022 Update: we have continued to come here every year! We love spending a few days in the campground and on the lake. This year, we even enjoyed live music at the pavilion by the museum!

We stayed for three nights in July 2022 in Site 219. We also reserved 236 which has a partial lake view. Check in was super easy. The campground was super clean and bathrooms were well taken care of. I never noticed a cleaning person, but the bathrooms were always clean. At night the loop was very quiet. The camp loop was rather hilly which wasn’t ideal for riding bikes around the loop. The lake access was great. We were able to park at the water. The lake was a great temperature and the kids had a blast swimming. (We rented a pontoon boat at the Marina which I was disappointed with because the boat was super old and not well taken care of… torn up seats, broken ladder etc. If renting from the marina, I would recommend calling about reserving a boat and in what condition. For $480 I expected a boat that was clean and without torn up upholstery.) We have AT&T and had great service throughout the campground and at the lake. Overall: We had a lovely time and plan to return.

Super clean. Nice security to make sure no one breaks the rules. If I have anything to contribute, I wish the hiking trails or bike trails were better labeled. However, someone can argue the opposite. Either way I am coming back for more.

This campground is a nightmare. You pay for everything too much and get no service at all. Way too far from the lake, questions how to get there are unanswered. No flexibility at all, not even for a family with a baby. Canceling a night is impossible, making it a prison. Don t recommend to anyone, never again.

Are the campgrounds open yet?

john worley | Feb 8, 2021
Chris Raderchak | Feb 9, 2021

Camped there July 8th to 12th. No tent camping as there are no bathrooms available, trailers and RVs were welcome. I believe they are operating at half capacity.

Do you allow Tiny Homes to park in your campground long term?

Dave Kellum | Feb 9, 2020
Randy Delaney | Feb 10, 2020

I don't work there but I will tell you that during the summer it is very hard to get a campsite. Camp Edison is a very well maintained and gorgeous campground and is very popular. During the winter months they only open a partial area. I doubt that they allow tiny homes but on my next trip in I will ask.

Is there any areas for just day use near water? Perhaps where i can take my bbq grill also?

Luis M. | Feb 9, 2020
Susan Chappell | Feb 10, 2020

Yes, but you still have to pay. A better bet would be the area around Bikini Cove (near the Point), it's free, next to the water, and bbq's are okay. Another option is Road 2, or 3 on the other side of the lake. It's $5 per carload, and there are bbq's, picnic tables, and the swimming is terrific!, even for toddlers.

I see on the map that there are Hose Bibs around the campsites, is a RV allowed to be hooked up the whole stay or only allowed to be used to fill water tank if needed?

Wendy Sabala | Feb 9, 2019
John Treg | Feb 10, 2019

Only if you have a hose bib in front of you that you can attach and fill up your tank and disconnect the hose and fill up when needed. Unless you are in full hookups you can leave hose attached

Are there bears there?

Trena Norwood | Feb 9, 2018
ronleboeuf89 | Feb 10, 2018

Bear sightings in the Shaver area, and at Camp Edison, are extremely rare being so extremely populated by people. Also bear proof trash cans keep them from having something to come around for, and Fish and Game relocate the scrawny ones that may get desperate to try. There's mabey one sighting every 5yrs or so. Further up at Dinkey Creek or Huntington Lake there are active bear around.

Of my 50+ years of going to and swimming in Shaver Lake in the Spring, Summer and Fall, I have never seen any water snakes of any kind! So . . . I would say no! Believe me IF there was I would not be swimming in it! Best bet is to contact the Camp Edison Office or local Ranger Station to confirm my statement. Love the Shaver Lake area, one of my favorite places on earth! Rp
