I recently had the pleasure of staying at Shady Lake RV Park, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it! This park is a true gem, perfectly situated for anyone needing access to Leesville, the stunning Lake Toledo Bend, or the JRTC. Its central location makes it incredibly convenient, no matter what your plans are in the area. Beyond the great location, the park itself is a wonderful place to relax. It is quiet, clean, and truly picturesque. The entire property is exceptionally well-maintained, which makes a huge difference in the overall experience. What really sets Shady Lake RV Park apart, however, is the management. They are both attentive and genuinely friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. If you're looking for a top-notch RV park in the area that offers a great location, beautiful surroundings, and excellent service, look no further than Shady Lake!

While working in the area for 10 months on a project, we stayed at shady lake rv. It was very quiet and close to town and amenities, while staying through the winter months the maintenance guy was very quick to take care of any problems that came up due to weather conditions. There are a few things that could be done to make the appearance more appealing but over all it’s a great place to stay and would stay here again

[second stay] This is now our second stay….yes we liked it so much we came back! The hostess was so accommodating in helping us move to a site with no deck…decks are great if they fit your rig, but it does not fit ours. We have extended our stay and are enjoying our new grandchild. [first stay] Easy in easy out, dirt,rock sites. HUGE shower/restrooms really clean. Definitely would stay again even with having to level our camper. Hostess was very nice and accommodating. Mostly 30amps so call early to get a 50amp

Enjoyed our stay here! Mostly military families live here. You get a wood patio and table at each site. There are quite a few trains daily. We didn't mind much.
