We needed to save some money on our desert roadtrip. So instead of getting a hotel for two nights in Bisbee, Arizona...we opted to spend a night at the Shady Dell RV Park. Shady Dell rents out several vintage trailers for one night, or mutlipe night stays. Since we knew we'd be arriving late night, we were more concerned about... more

We stayed in the yacht at the Shady Dell for my birthay, and had a pretty good time. It was fun since the person i was with was extremely into retro and vintage. We made plenty of use of the record player and records. Breakfast at the place on-site was fun, but not excellent food. We were mostly excited to... more

There are too many glitzy magazine articles proclaiming how great and wonderful the Shady Dell is to stay. I was very excited to finally get to go after reading all of the positive things and seeing the cute photos of the trailers. My partner and I are both in hospitality and travel frequently. We have never been treated so rudely... more

My boyfriend and I just got back from our trip to Bisbee and the Shady Dell! It was such a wonderful place and the charm is in its quirky and nostalgic setting! Please disregard the terrible review----it is everything it proclaims to be on its website (and more) and if you are looking for a different experience with great little... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at The Shady Dell last weekend and had a blast. We stayed in the 1951 Mansion which was 33' long and my 6' 3'' boyfriend was able to stand upright almost all the way through. The full sized bed was a little short for him, but it was only one night. The Mansion also had... more

Hands down the most unique and interesting place you could possibly stay! I spent a night there almost 4 years ago, and still tell the stories to this day. The attention to detail in the trailers is truly a thing of awe. It really is like stepping back in time. Even the black and white tvs play classic movies (from... more

Happy Days meets Trailer Park! This is one retro experience from the 50's that you need to experience. We stayed in a 1950, 21 foot Spartan trailer (think Airstream) that was filled with authentic 50's artifacts...even a yearbook from 1950 Bisbee, along with a (working) percolator coffee pot, an old cookie jar, a black & white TV with old videos... more

After seeing the Shady Dell on a television special, my husband and I knew that we had to make the trip out to visit. (Imagine the strange looks we got from all of our friends and family when we told them we were going to Bisbee during our Christmas vacation!) We spent one night in the Manor and one night... more

It is not in a pretty location. It's down the hill from Bisbee which is a fantastic hippee town. Management is very relaxed and consists of one nice guy. Dot's restaurant wasn't open so we went up to Bisbee. However, the trailers are really fun and romantic. It's an experience worth having. We couldn't find the guy when we were... more
