Ellie Ray's River RV Resort

Akasha Smith

Ellie Rays has gone completely downhill. Not only can they not keep a Cook or serve food anymore, they no longer have good customer service. They no longer allow people to hang out on the beach area at the picnic table and chairs, even if you’re a paying customer for the boat ramp. Why would you have a picnic table and chairs down at the beach area if people who pay to be there can’t sit there and hang out? Been coming here for years to get jet ski gas, food and drinks, but I’ll make sure to go to Sandy Point right up the river from now on where they have customer service and want my business! Update: Owner wants to claim we were in an altercation. Yes our family watched a man scream and cuss out a group of jet skis that purchased fuel and left. We weren’t part of this group at all and were there long before that group that had the altercation. This is the first we heard of us being rude and disruptive. And not only that…. What restaurant? You haven’t served food in months.

The staff is super friendly and helpful. The locals a re friendly and fun and the lounge is mostly locals. The lounge has good indoor and outdoor areas including an outdoor stage for bands. Pool tables and events like Karaoke. Beer and liquor selection is limited. I’m not sure if that’s sales driven or due to financial struggles. The campground is decent but needs some updating. I did have a maintenance issue and the super nice maintenance guy took care of it quickly. Again the staff is great. Even though they continue to advertise it. The restaurant is closed which left me hungry after my arrival and setup. The resort is evidently in financial struggles. There are 100 sites and only 8 campers here. A few cabins. There’s a nice pool and the location is great. Especially if you are bringing a boat or visiting the state parks and springs. The prices are too high for the current condition but would be about average if there were modern amenities/upkeep.

Worst stay of my life. I rented a cabin for 3 nights. Unfortunately cut short. When I got there 2 dead roaches greeted me as soon as I opened the door. The floor was filthy & the AC didn't work so the room was a humid oven all thru out. They did absolutely nothing for me but bring me a fan & say sorry. Be careful going down the ramp. Huge hole that swallows your trailer so u have to go down the side. The restaurant was closed because (from his employees) no one wants to work for him due to his attitude. When I returned the key early again all I got was a sorry. No return for my day cut short & no accomodations to another spot with AC

Such a cool place to visit! We went out for a music festival and loved it! The bar is a good size with pool tables and more. The outside bar is perfect with the music stage right there. The campgrounds are set up nice for primitive camping, RVs, cabins and more. There is a nice pool with waterfalls and a hot tub that's pretty large. If you want to hit the river, they have a boat launch right across from the bar. The food they serve up is great too. Hamburgers and fries were on point. The drinks were inexpensive and made nice and strong. Along with the bands playing were venders selling all sorts of goodies just down from the pool. Such a great place a chill and hangout!!!

We booked a 6 hour pontoon boat rental from Ellie's and had a GREAT time! It fit 4 adults and 2 children comfortably and was spacious enough to still walk around, fish and hang out. We saw lots of turtles and fish, different birds. You can boat right into the springs which was beautiful. I cant recall his name but the gentleman that helped us get onto the boat and showed us how it worked was really friendly and was just overall a cool guy. The woman who helped us at the counter was extremely personable and was very kind. Their prices are more than affordable for what you get and we plan to book another rental from here in the future on our next vacation! Thanks for the great time!
