Nice campsite, very friendly campsite host that provided wood and water. The main issue was no water, but we managed fine. Our camp spot was away from the crowd, felt private. Great little mountain bike trails, even goos for a novice. Close to town. Will come back!

A great campground the camp hosts Kim and John are fantastic and worked tirelessly to keep the campgrounds and restrooms very clean. A mellow place to unwind

My favorite campground. We go 1-2 times a year and always enjoy it! My only complaint is they haven’t had water for 3 years now. I really wish that would get fixed

We really enjoyed our time at Lakeside. We have been coming here for over 30 years and it’s nice to see that it hasn’t changed much. The facilities are always kept clean and the campgrounds are free of debris making it easy to pull in and set up camp quickly.

Our campsite was flooded, but the really nice hosts accommodated us elsewhere. Prior notice would have been nice. Still no water at the campground and the main road hasn’t seen any maintenance in years. But still a great place to camp!
