Be the first to Driving through the Ouachitas one summer in 1984 my new wife and I came upon this site, and we have camped there many times since.
Campground Review
I think that Shady Lake is one of the cleanest and best maintained parks to camp at. It is off the main travel routes, so it is secluded. The stars are so bright at night because you are so far away from city lights. Just a great place to camp and enjoy nature.
