Shelby Country Inn and RV Park, Shelby IA

Stay Date:  June 2010
Our Rating:  REALLY UGLY – 2
Yikes, what a dump!  Located behind a truck stop, you check in at the motel office, then drive through the tractor-trailer ruts to an open field with drive thru sites so narrow that our motorhome wheels hung over into the grass.  Our first attempt at a site resulted in it not having power, our second attempt, in another rutted, uneven site, finally worked.  No trees, not amenities, and the restrooms from the outside looked like Forest Service pit toilets.  No Cable TV, no WiFi, but Verizon cell and Aircard worked well.  Noisy at night with trucks entering and leaving the truck stop, with lots of bright lights to add insult to injury.  At $32/night, this dump is a rip off and we wouldn’t have stayed but there was no option in the area.  Would have been a “0” rating but the hookups worked well.
