Shady Ridge Campground is one of three car-camping areas within Charleston Lake Provincial Park, situated on Charleston Lake near Athens, Ontario, in the Frontenac Axis region of the Canadian Shield.

The campground sits adjacent to the lake in a mature, wooded setting — shady, as its name suggests — with sites numbered in the 300s and easy access to the water for canoeing and kayaking.

In addition to standard electric and non-electric sites, Shady Ridge is the only campground in the park to offer four yurts (unheated, no electricity). A short path from the campground leads to a rock terrace overlooking the lake.

The park overall features hiking trails, sandy beaches, and canoe and kayak rentals.
