Ellie Ray's River RV Resort

Jay Goodman

Not what it use to be . Last year I went and the bar no longer served food so that was a change. Well this visit last weekend I learned the bar nor grill is open anymore, so definitely not was I was expecting. Between that and the pool and hot tub getting locked up at dark time nothing much left to do for adults when the sun goes down anymore.

We rented a cabin that was definitely not inexpensive, and the cabin certainly was not worth the price we paid. There were absolutely no amenities in the cabin except tissue paper and a quarter bottle of dish detergent. There were no dishes, paper towels, pots, bed linen, soap , nothing. The mattresses were thin foam mattresses on wood platforms, which made for very uncomfortable sleeping. The cabin was very very tiny and poorly maintained inside and out. Even the shower curtain had holes in it where cats had been climbing up the shower curtain. There was caked on dust on the ceiling fans it was not a pleasant place to stay at all. The one Blessing about the cabin was that the air conditioner worked very well even though it was very dirty. We were lucky that we ended up being able to leave a day earlier than expected, however when we tried to get a refund for the last night or a credit for another time we were told no refund nor credit if you check out a day early. The clubhouse where you pick up your key for late check-in was also pretty dirty and not very well equipped with amenities. Don't count on the restaurant or bar or band. The worst part about this experience is that when you call to book they tell you how beautiful it is, how many things there are to do, and how much you're going to love the place. Absolutely none of it was true. I wish that I had looked at reviews before I booked. The pool area did seem nice.

This location on the Santa Fe River is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Marty was excellent with getting our Pontoon rental and the boat ran great with no issues at all. I believe the lounge and music venue is reopening on 11/8/25 but dont quote me on that. We had a blast and wished we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back soon!

Made a reservation for Labor Day weekend and was told there was additional costs because this was an event weekend. There was supposed to be a Beatles tribute band and a Jimmy Buffet tribute band. The staff says both bands canceled. I call BS. There was no event at all!! There was no inclimate weather at all the entire weekend. I'm sure the bands were asked not to come because of such low attendance, there were hardly any sites rented, most were work campers or full time residents. We arrived about 8:30 on Friday night to a site that was so overgrown with weeds I could hardly find the water and sewer connections. There was also a bunch of debris, wood planks and trash mixed up with the weeds. First thing Saturday morning I took my dog to the dog park where she found a bag of rotten shrimp on the ground!!! DISGUSTING!!! Later that morning went to launch the boat which was not very nice, huge deep ruts in the approach to the ramp, enough to damage my trailer. No charge to launch but they require you to park way back at the campground storage lot. The transient boat ramp users pay $10 and park right next to the bar. It seems like I was punished for renting a site!! We decided to make Sunday a pool day and talked to several people at the pool and everyone was saying the same thing. WAY OVER PRICED!!! and NO ENTERTAINMENT!!! I have been coming to Ellie Ray's since 2001 and to see this place so abandoned on a major holiday weekend is really a shame!!!! The new owners obviously don't care at all about this place and are just letting it decay. The boat docks are hazardous, the grounds are not kept up with, barely mowed. This place has huge potential to be an outstanding RV destination but no one should spend the money they are asking and get not much bang for the buck. Apparently the thinking is to go 55+ with this place which will really make it go downhill faster than the Jamaican bobsled team. Save some money and go somewhere else. To say my wife and I are disappointed is a huge understatement!!!! $630 dollars for 3 nights!!! I was robbed.

My husband and I visited Ellie Ray's during vacation to launch our boat. It is a good location. My husband did one of the jet ski tours and had a blast. The pool and hot tub are amazing. Ms. Anna and Mr. Marty are very kind and helpful. Oh, and let me not forget the 2 fur babies that greet you upon arrival. Jet - Jet is so super lovable. It was a great time. Thank you for the memories!!
