Shouse Ford Campground sits on the banks of DeGray Lake in the foothills of the Quachita Mountains. Large sandy beaches, world-class fishing and endless water sports make the campground a popular recreation area.
Boating, water skiing, kayaking and other water sports are the biggest draw to the lake, and a boat ramp and large sandy beaches are provided.
The lake is also stocked with a variety of game fish, including plenty of hybrid striped bass, making it an ideal area for both boat and bank fishing.
Shouse Ford provides reservable modern campsites with electric hookups. The campground come with flush toilets, hot showers, water, two swimming beaches, an amphitheater and a boat ramp.

Degray Lake is one of the region's five Diamond Lakes, known for their crystal clear waters. The lake flows from the Caddo River in western Arkansas and spans 13,500 surface acres.
The DeGray Lake Resort State Park offers golf courses, tennis courts, horseback riding trails and more along the 207 miles of lake shoreline.
The Ouachita National Forest and Hot Springs National Park are both located nearby.
From Interstate 30, take exit 78 and merge onto State Highway 7 north to Bismarck. Turn left on State Highway 84 and go 9 miles west to Point Cedar. Turn left onto Shouse Ford road and continue 4 miles to the campground.
It was a nice old look like an old army. I caught some real big breams there.
Great area to camp with family. If you have a boat, this is certainly a perfect area. Most camp sites are large and more level than the Southern side of the lake. Electric only. Dump station and fresh water at front entrance. Bath houses were pretty clean.
It’s not a resort area and doesn’t claim to be.
We did camping two nights and was awesome staying in the woods. We also enjoyed in the degray lake. You can bring your own boats and spend time in the lake. Overall we had a great time there.
Completely amazing.. Clean park, bathrooms, and showers.. Great views. One of our favorite places now!
