5 Reviews

Shores Lake, near Mulberry, Arkansas, is a peaceful spot tucked away in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forests. This campground is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle, offering a serene environment with shaded sites and a lovely lake right next door.

The campground features sites with electricity, making it convenient for both tent campers and RV travelers. Visitors have noted the beauty and tranquility of the area, with one camper describing it as a “perfect little hideaway.” Just remember to bring your own firewood, as campfires aren’t allowed here.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Shores Lake is a great base for fishing and hiking. The area is less crowded than some nearby spots, giving you a chance to enjoy nature without the noise. While some campers mentioned that the facilities could use a little sprucing up, the overall vibe is clean and quiet, making it a solid choice for a short getaway.

If you’re looking to disconnect, be aware that cell service can be spotty, which some find refreshing. Whether you’re planning a weekend retreat or just a day trip, Shores Lake offers a laid-back atmosphere that’s hard to beat.

Quiet stay in a hardwood forest

Camped in site #10 in mid-November 2024. Site 10 is non-electric; paid $7.50/night with senior pass. Overall clean campground, well maintained and managed, in pretty hardwood forest. Not busy during my stay. Sites have picnic tables, tent pads and clean metal fire rings. Site 10 was level. The campground includes a clean restroom/shower house, one clean vault toilet at the far end of the campground, trash dumpsters and drinking water; all of these facilities and services were available during my stay in November. Campground can accommodate tents, camper vans, car camping and RVs. Some sites are electric. There are no water and sewer hookups. Campground road is paved as well as Highway 215 from I-40 accessing the campground. Sites are mostly shaded, but there is no privacy between sites. Shores Lake trailhead is located in a parking area in the campground. Day use area nearby with good fishing in Shores Lake. Campground hosts Donna and Eddie were wonderful. I really liked this campground.

Quiet

This is a simple campground in Ozark National Forest. It’s about 20 minutes from I-40 up a windy road. The bugs are pretty bad in the hot weather, especially around the lake. The dumpsters were over flowing and the bathrooms could have been cleaner. There is no Verizon service. It is a good place if you want to get away for a day or two.

You need to bring your own firewood. It’s beautiful and very quiet and peaceful. Off season you may just have the whole place to yourself!

No cell service at Shores Lake

If you are a US Cellular customer there is no cell service at Shores Lake. This is a positive if you are escaping from civilization and a negative if you have a family member who gets worried when they don't hear from you. You decide which camp you fall into.

It is hard to score a campground with a decent lake right next to it below three stars. Shores lake is pretty and a lot less traveled than the Beaver Lake campgrounds. The camp sites are shaded and well maintained. The shower and bathroom facilities need some upgrades

There are a bunch of hiking trails. Dirt bikes, horses and ATVs are prohibited. The maximum size motor you can have on your boat is 10 horse power. Shores Lake is really for fishing, not motor boating.

This is a clean and quiet campground.
