My sister stayed at the Shady Dell a year ago, so after hearing of her unique and enjoyable experience, she recently booked my husband and I a night in the Tiki Bus and while she stayed in the Yacht. We had so much fun scouring through all of the vintage items in both of these vehicles. We played period music... More

this place is a one of a kind find. We stayed a total of 8 days. For the 1st 2 nights, we stayed in the Mansion.(my favorite one) It was so cute inside! My favorite part was the kitchen booth. Bed was super comfortable. Loved that everthing was so original to the trailer . There is only a tiny bathroom... More

As true "groupies" of all vintage trailers, my partner and I anticipated our stay would be a thrill. Enter the 1957 "Airfloat Las Vegas Edition". We chose this trailer as it has a full bath and plenty of space. Not because we expected a lavish Las Vegas gigantic casino resort hotel, but because I personally wanted to experience what these...

My overall rating is "3" (as opposed to 4) because there were a few major "downers" that need to be accounted for. First, I will list what is GREAT about The Shady Dell: The 1947 yacht that we stayed in is immaculate. Gorgeously maintained, great set-up and wonderful interior. We played period records all night and WHERE ELSE can one... More

The Shady Dell is a very unique RV Park. They have vintage trailers from the 40's and 50's. The sleek collection of vintage trailers are decorated with items and decor from the year the trailer was built. My wife and I enjoyed a night's stay in a 1947 Chris Craft Yacht that was beautifully restored. We listened to music from... More

Jen made us feel very welcome. We stayed in "The Mansion" trailer. Felt like we were in an old episode of "I Love Lucy". Nicely restored 1951 trailer. Had much fun learning about the history of this place and the town of Bisbee, AZ. It was so neat to be thrown back in time with all of the period pieces... More

Stayed in the Tiki bus for one fun night, which was probably just the right amount of time. The Shady Dell (and the Tiki bus) is super cute. I appreciate the effort put in to create this special little place, with period furnishings, vintage cars and retro accoutrements making the Shady Dell as close to the 1950's as possible. The...

Everything about our visit to the Shady Dell in Bisbee, AZ was great. We stayed in #9, the 1957 Airfloat trailer, a premium trailer of the times and still is. When we stepped into the Airfloat, great old music was playing on the vintage radio, to set the mood for the whole weekend. The Back-to-the-50's feeling is so relaxing and... More

I adored this tiny RV motel park more than any other Ive ever visited. The Spartan and Aero-Bowles vintage trailers have all been, painstakingly restored and fixed up with 50s accessories, records and phonographs. They all have 50s dishes, curtians and have more kitch factor than an antique shop. There is a 30s Chris Craft Yacht fixed up in a... More
