THE SHADY DELL RV FOR ONE by PRISCILLA BURGERS
When it opened in 1927, the Shady Dell was a destination for adventurers along U.S. Route 80, which ran from the Georgia coast to San Diego. The tree-lined property was a campground, really just a wide spot on the road where people could pull in, spend the night and move on.
Over the years, the park has evolved into a major draw, both for trailer enthusiasts and for tourists looking for a hot take on travel lodging. Although the trailers are vintage, they’re full of unexpected amenities.
“Staying at the Shady Dell is like sleeping in a living museum,” owner Justin Luria says. “That’s the appeal. You can touch and feel all of the antiques. You can really experience them. It’s like spending the night in a vintage store.”
Luria, who purchased the property 10 years ago, has made minor changes over the years, including renovations to the men’s and women’s restrooms — not all of the trailers have private baths — and a few paint touch-ups.
Sadly, Dot’s Diner, the beloved trailer that dished up breakfast, lunch and dinner, closed three years ago. But it will soon become a concession stand for the outdoor movie viewings the Shady Dell hosts.
