We enjoyed a week here in late August . The cabin was clean and well equipped, but furniture is in need of replacing. Beds were comfy.

Great campground with a family atmosphere. RV sites are good and near the lake. There are a lot of annuals, but the sites are well-kept and everyone is friendly. No pets are allowed, so no worries about roaming cats or dogs.

Once again we choose Shady Rest. This time we came up on Labor Day Weekend to get in a quick break with the kids before school starts. Very nice cabins, very clean, the kitchens had most of what we needed to prepare meals for our stay. Not a lot of counter space but good storage. The pots and pans were in good shape. The beds were comfortable and clean. The cabin overlooked the lake and we enjoyed a great sunset each night. We also had our own fire pit which was nice. The staff was very friendly and we heard plenty of fish stories. We didn't fish but we saw some pretty nice catches come in. The beach was sandy and the lake very clean. The swim raft was the favorite hang out. My wife and I love tennis and it was nice to have that available. The game room was nice but a bit old. It had a poo

We arrived in the area without a campsite reservation. Luckily Shady Rest Resort was able to accommodate! We had a tent ( that's why i didn't rate the rooms)with a cargo trailer hauling motorcycles. The gentleman at the front desk was super helpful giving us a site with water and electricity which was pretty much a must! We really enjoyed the resort. After a day of riding we cooked steak dinner and were happy to hear they were having a DJ with some fun music that evening! The only reason I gave a 4 for location was because there was a 1/2 mile long dirt road to get there. The resort was very quiet even though it seemed pretty full. We would definitely return when in the area!

Campgrounds permanent and weekend spots. We have a permanent one and we love it. Fishing is good. Sand bar for those hot days to park the boat and relax in the water. The bar is small town comfort to it.
