I have been coming to this campground since I was 14. I love this campground BUT it has fallen into disrepair from neglect. Several of the concrete tables are cracked and broken. My table on site 53 was so cracked that the rebar was showing. The grounds themselves need attention..mowing, weed eating around the bank, a controlled burn during off season to get rid of years of pine straw on the ground.Also lets address the shower situation. The showers dont drain properly. They need ventilation especially in the summer. There used to be fans in the ceiling but they were replaced by skylights. The showers are suffocatingly hot in the summer. Also we used to see the rangers and camp host ensuring rules were followed and even just talking to campers but not anymore.

I still cannot believe they still have not put sand down at the swimming area. I spent all my childhood summers on Lake DeGray, really starting to rethink where I want my grandbabies summer memories to be. The swimming area has just went way down at Shouse Ford / Point Cedar. It has been over 15 years since they have put down sand. It is just sad. Little ones can't even build sand castles. Just rocks and sticks and lose dogs running around.

the 30 amp service kept tripping and turning off power in rv. I had a 50 amp adapter, swithced to the 50 amp breaker and no more problems. And no, the problem in not in the rv. I have a 30 amp service at home specificially for my rv and never has had that breaker to trip.

Had a good stay. The weather was a little dicy a few days but enjoyed our time there.

@VictoriaB13870 · Camped on Apr 7, 2024 at Campsite #18

Very outdated as in the shower and toilet facilities. One shower was missing a bench the other was missing a shower head so only one shower was properly useful. But other than that nice spot.

@PalmPAA9A2AE5D · Camped on Apr 7, 2024 at Campsite #10

Easy to find, easy to check in. Sites and restrooms are clean and stocked with paper. Be sure to bring your own hand soap as there isn't any stocked in restrooms. Tent pads are nice and smooth.We had a great experience. Lake is great for swimming and fishing.

@ManleyWDEE15FD · Camped on Apr 7, 2024 at Campsite #45

Beautiful site and we got to see the eclipse with no problems. The weather got quite nasty that evening but not before we were able to view the total eclipse. Nice campgrounds!

@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Apr 6, 2024 at Campsite #33

Your camp host was a great person. Very helpful and friendly!

@JeremyP7103793 · Camped on Apr 3, 2024 at Campsite #71

Super quiet campground surrounded by a peaceful lake. The sites were very large, particularly those sites not directly adjacent to water. Lots of fish carcasses strewn about, so if that's an issue for you or any pets be aware. Very little cell service.

@BrendaP8892898 · Camped on Mar 30, 2024 at Campsite #51

Rangers are always helpful

@MartinLC1C18BE · Camped on Mar 18, 2024 at Campsite #73

Great for boat fishing. The site was very large but the pad was rough and hard to level. There were lots of tree roots. Great place for kids. Easy to see the loops for bike riding and fun playground. Several bathhouses although they definitely need updating.

@CarolW5738546 · Camped on Mar 1, 2024 at Campsite #23

The only thing they could improve is to fix the tent pads. Our children and grandchildren would come more if the pads were not so bad. I have contacted Bruce Westerman our Congressman to see what can be done. We glamp now but when we were younger tents were all we could afford. I think more young people could camp if the pads were redone. Really a cheap fix!!!!! I plan to work with Bruce to try to get this accomplished.

Camping this time of year is fantastic!!! 4th year in a row camping at Shouse Ford camp ground is always in good shape and it sure is nice to be able to take a shower when your tent camping

@RushS754B0A02F · Camped on Oct 6, 2023 at Campsite #39

Several of the sites around our site 39 were very dangerous where our steps extended out of RV to step up or down. Other than that it was nice quite time.

@CarnahanL29DB5 · Camped on Aug 30, 2023 at Campsite #78

The campgrounds were wonderful. Easy access to other campsites where family was staying. Water access is a bit limited.

@LindaK3043012 · Camped on Aug 29, 2023 at Campsite #34

It was very pleasant. I had a nice shady spot. The scenery is beautiful!! I will be back.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
