Shady River RV Resort

This Rv Park is very dishonest and I would not recommend staying there or leaving a deposit over the phone as they requested with us. They had deducted our deposit from our account and said they would have a spot for us. I called a few days before to see if the spot would be shaded or not, they did not have any record of our deposit and they said they were full. I told the person of the deposit issue, she said she would look into it and send us a check. As you have probably guessed, no call and no check. Use at your own risk.

Stopped by to clean up the RV after Rot Rally, called ahead to reserve a spot for one night, and they had plenty of space for us in a shaded pull-​through spot. It didn’t cost much, had both 35 and 50 hookups, water, plumbing, very level.
I believe it was $ 25, and when I asked about a check-​out time, the gentleman who runs the place basically shrugged and said not to worry about it.
The playground was just fine, lots of trees, very quiet. The few people I saw smiled at my kids (for once, they were being quiet and walking nicely, that must have fooled them) and waved. There’s a garden close to the river, we left that alone, and a cleared path along the river if you feel like going for a walk.
I had intended to go wading, as this particular river is wide and shallow. This is maybe half, to one mile east of Mankin’s Crossing at highway 29, and one and a half to two miles west of Jonah. Although their website lists «River access,» and I’m sure you could manage it if you were bound and determined, I didn’t feel like jumping down a sharp 3 foot bank, and the river wasn’t high enough just then, so there was pond scum… Not the fault of the RV park, but still not as great as I was hoping.
Dogs are ok, as long as they aren’t barkers, not that we had one to bring.
I wouldn’t stay for a long time, though, as in the 13 years I’ve lived nearby, I’ve seen this place flood drastically, twice.
