What Guests Are Saying
Shouse Ford campground offers a beautiful and peaceful setting, with clean bathrooms and friendly staff, making it a favorite for many campers. While some campers noted issues with campsite maintenance, uneven surfaces, and litter, most appreciated the spacious sites and stunning views. Suggestions for improvement include adding water hookups at each site and enhancing facility upkeep, but overall, many enjoyed their experiences and plan to return.

The campground grounds do not appear to be maintained very well. There were several dead pine limbs that fell out of trees close to our camp, if they were to land on a camper trailer, tent, or vehicle would do some damage or seriously hurt someone. Dead tree limbs are on the ground throughout the campground, and lots of poison ivy.
From what we were told by a couple of other folks that have stayed at Shouse Ford over the years not as many people camp here like they use to.
The facilities are maintained, but the grounds are lacking.

We had a great time camping at Shouse Ford. However, there have not been any upgrades or preventative maintenance preformed to the campground in years and it shows... Please upgrade the campground... a lot of the campsites have erosion issues around the camper pads, some of the tent pads are in disrepair, etc... Also, adding water/sewer to the campsites would be a great help to campers!

Site would be okay if it is not raining. There are 3 sites that drain into this one and becomes a swamp. Tent pad stayed dry but eating area and activity area was ankle deep of water. Other than that no issues.

Oh my!!! Wonderful!! Beautiful lake with peaceful ambiance. Facilities were clean and supplied with hot showers. Sites are large and well laid out for privacy. I will plan my travels to return in spring.

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 let’s address the shower situation. The showers don’t 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.
