I am very happy I chose this family run resort for my weekend fishing jaunt. Rich (a Vietnam era…read morenavy vet) and his wife Mary run this resort with help from their 4 young adult children. The rooms are a nice size, clean, and the beds are comfortable. There is plenty of space for your car and boat/trailer. There is a connivence/bait store on site with everything from fresh donuts and coffee, to fishing gear, to breakfast cereal, to feisty minnows. Rich is very knowledgable about fishing and boating on Lake Shelbyville. Rich and Mary are also quick with recommendations on local restaurants. Although I recommend the biscuits and gravy or omelettes prepared by Rich every morning. The resort is just a couple hundred yards from the lake. I had a great stay here and will definitely be back.

Was sure hoping the sheets were recently changed. Not sure if we'll stay there on our next visit.

I apologize ahead of time for the lengthy review. Im from…read moreShelbyville so I'm very familiar with the spillway hotel. I've never really had a problem with the hotel itself; you can't beat the price for the quality of the hotel i guess you could say. I've stayed in a lot worse. About a month ago; the owners wife decided that she was going to get about an inch away from my face and scream at the top of her lungs at me. Because her niece and i got into a heated altercation at MY apartment. She came out from behind the front office counter screaming about how she fights back and blah blah blah. Telling me exactly how everything happened and how i did this and that, when in all reality the situation that she's freaking out about i was more than happy to tell her what happened and who did what and it be the gods honest truth.. i don't lie. I have no reason to. The girl that this was all over is a 20 year old girl who is so strung out on drugs and steals from everyone she knows to support her habit and lies about any and every thing she can. I have always taken the big girl road with this girl because I feel bad for her, she's not a bad person just on the wrong path. Everyone else slaps her around, I tried getting to her with words.But this woman decided it was necessary to call me every name humanly possible but my own birth given name. From a nasty "c" and beyond.. excuse my language but there's really no other good description for the names she called me. The hotel was BOOKED the day she did this. Fourth of July weekend. Everyone was outside grilling, playing games .. literally EVERYONE was outside. This woman was threatening me up one side and down another. Screaming in my face and calling me names. To paint a better picture, while she's in my face screaming at me she screams "get out of my face b*****!" I'm not one to back down from anyone, especially if I'm not in the wrong. I will most definitely stand up for what I believe in and stay true to what I say or do because I will definitely hold myself accountable for my actions. But no one is going to lie on me or about me, and someone who wasn't there when the argument happened isn't going to tell me what happened. Haha! The whole time she's doing this everyone stops what they're doing and stands there and watches her make a fool of herself. (That same night she attacked a girl the same age as her niece and beat her up while someone else held the girl down.) The whole time this woman is yelling profanities and threats at me, I'm calmly asking if she wanted to know the truth of what happened. Saying "no, you're wrong. That didn't happen. Are you done screaming yet? Get out of my face. How old are you? You're twice my age and I'm acting more mature than you are." Never once did I yell back, or curse at her. I let her make herself look like a fool. Out of respect for her husband; who i think is a great man. He helps anyone he can. Always kind. Just a good person thru and thru. Now to yesterday; my boyfriends car overheats due to a blown head gasket. When it overheats, it needs jumped to start. He parked in the back of the hotel, walked up and visited with his 19 yo son who is staying in a room there at the moment. We go to leave and the car is in the red overheating. Our only option besides to run it hot in the red and take a chance on making it blow up and ruin every new part we just fixed (literally all new cooling system) or pull up to my friends room which is two rooms down from the front office and get some water from her and a jump from her boyfriends car sitting right there as well. So we took the obvious choice. This woman sticks her head out of the side door, sees me and instantly loses her cool. Screaming at the top of her lungs. Starts calling me names; calling me a disgusting skank.. among others that are not quite publicly acceptable. I sat silently in the passenger seat, not wanting to add to her nonsense because she does a pretty good job of embarrassing herself and her business on her own. I didn't even look her direction. Once again, numerous people are outside and listening to her call me names and threaten to call the cops. Mind you... this is over a personal issue with someone else (yes, someone she's related to.. but not her) that she is bringing up and making a scene over at her place of business. I've NEVER been disrespectful or done anything wrong at this hotel. Highly unprofessional and extremely unnecessary. Maybe if the hotel were to get different owners and management, Itd be worth a stay. I hope for the future of the Spillway Hotel that this woman has an epiphany of sorts and changes her ways. Otherwise it'll be another has been, rotting building like the Lidster Hotel that people tell stories about from "back in the day".

Tent area with water and electric hook up is pretty tight you are tent to tent with your neighbor and there is many trees in that area so not much grass and a whole lot of roots. Also when it rains it becomes a muddy mess. Still I can't say enough about the staff they are absolutely amazing and accommodating. The regular campers are really friendly too and quick to have a convo with you. I highly recommend this campground. Only drawback is hopefully they can add more tent spots with water electric hookup with more room and more grass.
