yeah...for sure call them...cause we didn't pay anywhere near $560....but we had the plain jane....no electricity....brought our own tent n ****.....

the tents they supply have electricity and an air matress etc etc....so of course this option would be more expensive....but no where near as expensive as some places and much nicer than alot of places too.

except for the odd *** clown who revvs the **** out of their bike at 4am cause they have a small *****....I'd be hard pressed to stay anywhere else.

Hey Freebirdrunner, are you sold yet? I think no place is perfect, but this one sounds as good as any. Feel freee to PM me and maybe start a Shade Valley Sturgis 2011 thread. Might be cool to meet up with other hdf members staying there. BTW, 30 amp RV sites are listed at $350, but when we talked to Trudy last weekend she said something about early bird pricing by April 1st. Might want to reserve by then. Got a couple of days, and they are open of Sunday for reservations.

We stayed there this year, and it was a nice place, with good ammenities. If you go to town at night they have a nice bus with ac, and even sell beer on the bus. Would reccomend it to anyone.

Stayed there this past rally. They have everything onsite. We were going to the Chip every night so we picked Shade for its proximity to the concerts. If you hop on Da Bus you go straight to the Chip and dont have to transfer at the Hub. We found a good spot right near the exit of the campground. Lots of trees....close to showers...and didnt have to drive thru the whole grounds to get home...they let us enter the exit. I would stay again.
