5/5 Stars for Bartlett Shores! 🌟

​My parents stayed in one of the tiny homes during their visit, and it exceeded every expectation. It was super quiet, serene, and so charming. They had the best time, and I couldn't be happier with how relaxing their stay was!

Nice pad and full hook ups

This was a great place to stop over, easy on and off the highway. The pad was flat and there is FHU available. The neighbors are very friendly and helpful. The downside is that the fire-pit was full of garbage and unusable. Note to get there: Pass the first ‘campground’ and go up the hill past the levy and then turn right.
