Nettles Island

My family and I stayed in a waterfront RV spot from 12/26/15−½/16. Total cost close to $ 800for a concrete pad with full hookups surrounded by irregularly shaped houses and extremely rude old people. From the front office to the guard house to your neighbors and even the hot tub, the permanent residents and staff at this place are grumpy, inconsiderate, & overpriced. If this is what retirement looks like and if these are the people I can look forward to seeing in heaven, I’d rather go to the hot place. They took a $ 200 pet fee from us on 3 visits total we have been here (we had been returning for location and in hopes that our previous experience was not typical– never again). Yes, you read that correctly– a $ 200 pet fee for a concrete pad!!! They did return $ 400 when we asked why the fee. Also, if you like lots of rules dictating everything you can’t do, this place is for you! I would give it ½ star review for the view from the RV, but Unilocal doesn’t allow less than 1.

This will be my last visit to Nettles Island. We have rented an RV spot with a water view for a few visits. Our spot didn’t have a dock so there was no way for us to access the water with our SUPs. The pool, hot tub and amenities are nice but you do not ever feel welcomed. The check in requires multiple documents (registration, insurance and proof of dog vaccination) They copy all documents which took about ½ hour at check-​in. This place is not made for RV visitors. No laundry and the residents are beyond rude. We were told several times to read the policies– exactly what everyone wants to spend their time doing on vacation.
