Shady Oaks in Cross City boasts stunning beauty with the abundance of giant oak trees and wide open green spaces. For 3 months it was more like home than anywhere we've ever called home and the people there were more like family to us than family, to be honest! So much kindness in the entire community.

Many things worth noting:

-You can expect the utmost in professionalism and courtesy from the office from Kari and Savannah and also from Dave and Kyle constantly working on park maintenance

-Sites are level and spacious

-The pub serves up very cold beer, yummy pizza at fair prices. I think the cold draft was $2.50. Pool nights on Tuesdays.

-Pool has a shaded cabana and an order window where you can order food and drinks without leaving the pool

-Laundry has 6 commercial size hot dryers, one commercial size washer, and about 6 or more regular washers. A load cost about $3, which I found very good.

-The park is very well and constantly maintained. The roads are smooth and wide. The oak tree branches are watched and maintained to minimize possible damage of an old one loosing a limb.

-Propane available on site

-Affordable on-site storage we may revisit

-Cable was decent

-Electricity included

-Wifi included but neither the wifi or the internet signals are strong due to the lack of proximity to a cell tower. Check RV Life for reviews that recap cell service per provider for every park. Some neighbors that had Sprint and T-Mobile faired okay. We had prepaid Ultra plans (T-Mobile) and lost service often.

We were in Shady Oaks during Hurricane Ian. Not a drop a rain and barely a gust of wind worth mentioning. This was a place of countless blessings for us in the 3 months we were there.

I truly look forward to landing back at Shady Oaks someday.
