Shades State Park Campground
Reviewed Mar. 3, 2021

Very quiet non-electric campground

This is our favorite state park to camp at.  We started here in tents, and moved up to a travel trailer.  We have stayed here at various times over the past 5 years.  Camp sites are all non-electric.  The park is typically pretty quiet except for the sounds of children playing during the day.  The park roads are easy to walk, and trails abound!  Trails range in difficulty, so read the park pamphlet before setting out.  Views are amazing from the trails!  Turkey Run SP and Raccoon Lake Rec Area are close by, and the campground pass from Shades gets you into both.  Camp sites vary in size and shape, and most can get really muddy after a rain, so check the weather and plan accordingly.  There is only one shower house that can get crowded on a busy weekend.  Overall an amazing park and a great campground.  Pictures attached are from site 102.
