"This is a great place to fish and view the birds and scenery. The restaurants there it's quite good mostly home-cooked dishes and Ruby runs the place and she's the nicest Southern woman you could ever meet. There are many campers and boat slips available that's really reasonable rates and also rent thier small cabin. On Friday and Saturdays they have live music and outside Cantina which is a great time if you're not going out from your water adventures"

"Small, family operated restaurant on the lake with no hassle and a smile. Yes, you can go somewhere fancier, but sometimes it's good to be in an environment that is low stress and low speed with real people and just breathe. This is why I love this place."

"Shady Cove Resort and Marina should be 5 stars from everyone that has stayed or stays at the campground. The staff at Shady Cove go over and beyond to assist and help everyone. The friends I have met at the campground are amazing! Immediately as I pulled in, several people welcomed us and helped us get backed in a very tight spot. The Tiki Bar is wonderful with karaoke and live music, very nice pool, and a wonderful restaurant and staff that are amazing. I would give 10 stars but only five are available. I recommend Shady Cove Resort. Marina to anyone looking for a long term stay or just a weekend! Great place and even better people!"
