We lost $50 because we paid before looking. They do not give refunds at all. We should have looked before paying. I felt very uncomfortable so, we drove around and found another campground that was a 1000% nicer.. I feel much safer and cleaner . Shady Oaks is very shady a lot of permanent dwellers that are very run down... More

This place was horrible looking everything was run down. There were campers that looked like they had been there forever. Owner was rude and I now know why he has a sign up that says no refunds ... It's because once they have your deposit they think you will stay if they don't give it back. We let them know... More

July 20, 2012. We booked this place because everything else looked full for accommodations for 6. Well, let me tell you I will certainly read the reviews from now on. I honestly didn't know places this bad would be allowed to stay in business. We pulled in front of the office. I thought maybe they had tried to make it... More

When we arrived (late in the afternoon) we noticed that it was very run down but it was a holiday weekend and nothing else was available and we were camping only for... More

It was also a LOG cabin with a front sitting porch with rocking chairs. It wasn't the best place we've stayed in, but the beds were nicely made with clean sheets. The cabin was a... More
