Shady Creek RV Park & Storage

This is basically an RV park for long term folks. It's got everything you need for a long term stay, the staff is super nice and its clean. It doesnt have many trees at all, so its really hot in the summer. When it rains hard, it also floods. Its very pet friendly with an off-leash dog area, and it has a swimming pool. The farm next door has a lot of horses as well -- so the smell and the flies can be rough in the summer. If I needed a place in the area long term, its the best one you'll find (we've tried them all).

We stayed for a month so my daily rate reflects the monthly rate before electric. The park is well-managed and clean, but sites are pretty close to each other. There seems to be a lot of long-term campers.

There wasn't really anything for our kiddos, which fortunately was ok with us since we were there to visit family and spent most of our day time at their house. This kept our electricity low ($21 total) in February. Speaking of electricity, we did have problems with it. Our surge protector was pretty constantly cutting off due to high frequency voltage. I spoke to management about it and they were very nice but they said that is just how it is there. We never had any damage or problems other than it cutting off and back on annoyingly.

The propane was expensive. It is $30/bottle to fill. And they do not care if it is empty or not. It is just $30 flat to fill a bottle up. We spent a lot on propane, not knowing that. I should have asked more about the pricing. So, that's my fault.

Overall, a good stay, quiet for the most part except during the day. There was construction going on just behind the park and that was a little annoying during the day but at night it was quiet.

We had good cell coverage on both Verizon and AT&T so we could stream tv, movies etc on our cell service. They did offer wifi but I rarely use campground wifi so I couldn't say much about that.

We stayed here north of Dallas for the month of January 2019 (nightly rate reflects the discount) so that I could do some training in downtown Dallas. Nice park, great access to area. Managed to even get some medical procedures done in the area. Park hosts are great and helpful.

This is a bougie park for long termers but cheap for them, more expensive for those just stopping through. But! It is EXTREMELY CLEAN and nice, heated pool, laundry, Rec center, LP on site, wonderful! I was greeted by an envelope at front desk when I arrived late and everything was perfect during my stay. Would stay here again but too expensive for me.

Camp in a 35” motorhome. We are self-contained so cannot comment on restrooms/shower facilities. It’s clear that the owners/managers take pride in this campground. It’s very clean, well maintained and professionally run. We camp here for a month each year.

Pros –
- The office staff is very professional and accommodating even though are very very busy.
- They allow packages to be delivered to the office.
- Well maintained and very clean campground including the laundry room
- A very nice and large dog park area.

Cons –
- They may want to consider adding another laundry area. The current one, though very clean is extremely busy, even early morning.

We stayed here for two and a half months, this park is pretty much exclusively long term. In the time we were there only two RVs changed in the twenty immediately around us.

They have just about everything you need on site. All the park staff were friendly and helpful. The laundry was good, can pay for it with an app which was a convenient first for us. They had the largest fenced in dog park we've seen at a park yet. Propane fill is onsite but they do charge a premium for it and it's flat rate so only drop off empty tanks. It hadn't warmed up enough for us to try out the pool but it did look nice. Not much for kids to do though, only a small playground. The wifi was pretty good but it costs $49 a month for up to 6 devices. The cell signal is excellent but the bandwidth is terrible both verizon and at&t were under 3-4m download.

Our site was on a corner so we had a wide open side yard on our door side. Some of the sites are pretty close to each other. The spots are gravel and pretty close to level. We stayed February to the end April. The winter/spring storms are no joke we had ice, hail, tornadoes, and flooding rain. Beware there is no storm shelter on site. There are very few trees in the park, I'd imagine it'll get very hot in the summer. Try to avoid the sites in the 800s near fish trap road if you can. It's all gravel or paved and gets a lot of road noise.

Overall it was a great place and we made some new friends. We'll definitely stay there again.

Some sites are quite large, this being one of them. Right behind the sites in this row is a large field leading to the playground then dog park and more field down to a bridge. Our only complaints for this site are that if there happens to be a flood that took out the bridge, you'd be stranded on an island cut off by the creek and (not under the park's control at all) the person who lives in one of the houses behind the park that puts their dog outside to barks for hours at night. Overall, this site and park are pretty great. The prices are high but, on the fairer side for what they offer. They do upcharge quite a bit for electric as well, 14 cent per kilowatt vs around 6 cents for residential in the area.
There isn't a ton of things to do close by but, this is the area we need to go to visit friends and maintain our domicile. The traffic is horrific with all the road construction, again not something the park has any control over but, should be noted for planning a trip to the area until it is under control.
The park is very clean, they just remodeled the laundry with new machines (app or change accepted), built a small gym, they have a beautiful gathering hall, outside grill/fireplace, small pool, walking around the park is quiet and beautiful, and there are always people walking their dogs. The people who work and live here are wonderful and friendly and the long term sites are kept clean. You can send and get mail and packages delivered here as well.
They mow the lawn every Thursday and they do their best to keep the fireants at bay. The grass is immaculate, like a golf course, and 99% of people do pick up after their pets.
They just built a whole new section across the street which I believe had another pool and laundry. The cell phone service is decent and we only had issues when a tower would go out of service. We have T-mobile, ATT and Verizon. We will be back as this really is a nice park.

There are actually 2 parks Shady Creek RV Park and Storage and its sister park The Retreat at Shady Creek. We stayed at The Retreat at Shady Creek.

This is a nice park with a lot of what appeared to be full time residents. We choose this park based on proximity to visiting a family member. We did not enjoy all the amenities offered - pool, fitness center,  … It is gated but a rocket science degree is not necessary to figure out the code! ;) The park is a jewel in the rough. There is a lot of development nearby. It's a nice park and we would return again if in the area.
