Shady Acres Campground

We needed a safe place to park with facilities. The bathroom was clean and private. The laundry was pristine. The cute little library made it more homey. The lady at the office was so helpful and nice. No noise or traffic all night.. was a great place to pick.

We stayed here for a couple of months in the summer for my husband’s job. It’s definitely not an ideal place to set up but it’s relatively inexpensive and easy access to the interstate. A lot of “shady” people coming and going at all hours. There’s a lot of long term/full-time people here. It’s not managed well by any means. If you find someone is in the office you better take advantage of that rare moment. Upkeep leaves a lot to be desired. The laundry on the back of the property is usually filthy. We won’t stay again. It’s probably okay for a stopover but definitely not good for long term.

Stayed overnight on our trip from Texas in January. This campground is derelict, the "nature trail" is completely overgrown. We were given site 19, which is not on the map. It took us a while in the dark to find that our spot was a muddy patch at the entrance. For $50/night, this place was a joke. I wouldn't attempt to use the common restroom unless I wore a biohazard suit.

Yin and Yang. Light and dark. Chocolate and vanilla. Shady* Acres Campground and where we stayed last night. (*Shady everywhere except Slip 20, where we are unless we put out our awning, open an umbrella or throw ourselves under our bus) Nope, no shade here, except what I’m about to throw out on this place! Actually, as you can see in the pix, there’s lots of shade in the back 40 however these all appear to being term slips with the front couple of slips for one night stands. Fairly level and long gravel slips (easily accommodated our 55+ foot parade with room to spare). Full hookups including a rusty CATV wire that provided static on every channel found. 3-4 bars and the ubiquitous AT&T “5G” label which has provided steady steaming of TV (too lazy to deploy Dishy for one night stands) a

Nice small campground close to mobile. Several full time RVs that could use a bit of TLC. Truck across the street from us had flat tires and looks like it had been there for awhile. Staff super friendly and helpful staff = they want to “tidy” up however staffing is hard to find like everywhere these days. They have a small area for laundry and mail- we did not do laundry here so I can’t comment on that. We have a 41’ tow hauler and had lots of room to park with no tree issues. We walked our dog around the neighborhood and felt very safe - you do need to watch out for other animals though.
