What Guests Are Saying
Lakeshore East offers a beautiful lakefront park with clean campgrounds and friendly hosts, making it an excellent base for outdoor activities like camping, swimming, and boating. The convenience of nearby amenities, such as a small store, adds to the appeal. However, some guests experienced issues with the reservation system and access to the water, and there were occasional concerns about noise and bathroom cleanliness.

the online map of the camp sites is the worst I have ever seen. It turns out the site #26 is the very last site in the park, It is water front with very little view & a steep trail to get to lake. Drinking water was very close & the flush tolet was only 3 sites away. Hope this helps someone in the future.

Beautiful area, although this section of the lake has mostly dried up. The yurt was very lovely, however there were mysterious stains on the sheets on the bed (mouse droppings maybe?).

Nice small campground. We just stayed overnight so didn’t do any activities. Site was flat. Next to a road. July it was very hot. One bar service with Verizon. Host was friendly.

Cute spot, water was too low to enjoy, but it was a good spot to set up for sleep and just hang out!

Well maintained campground and clean bathrooms. The camp host was so nice and helpful. We could hear the train passing by at night but no horn blown and we went right back to sleep. Nice campground, Will definitely come again.

I thought it would be nearer the water. Also no TP in bathroom and no showers.

Great little spot, shaded, quiet, met great people, the train does come through about 4-5 times a day and a couple times at night but it’s really not that bad the sound is relaxing
