Lakeside (OK)

I have stayed at Lakeside numerous times over the years and have always enjoyed this campground. This year it was unkept, the trash dumpster running over and the trash cans at the boat ramp running over and trash all around it. Also we couldn't even put our boat in and pull up to the fishing dock to pick up the driver of our truck and boat trailer because every side of the courtesy dock and the fish cleaning dock were taken by fishing guides waiting on clients. Sometimes they were tied together two deep all the way around. Their are at least 8-10 guides using the docks for their personal commercial business. Also you couldn't even pull in to clean your fish because they had it completely taken over. Then when it comes to parking your truck and boat trailer good luck as their clients in their cars and pickups take up the places that are for trailer parking. I wish I could have included a picture of the fish that the guides dumped on the fish cleaning dock decking. there was literally over 100 fish dumped in a pile so wide and long you couldn't get around the dock on that side. The main gates to the campground were not closed the entire time we were there which made us uneasy about leaving anything out at night.

The campgrounds was mowed and generally clean the fire pits hadn’t been cleaned out in quite awhile, the bathrooms weren’t cleaned we were there for 11 days and wasn’t cleaned during that period of time the bathrooms toilet paper had run out and was changed one time in 11 days we always stay here and have always had better experience with the bathrooms/ showers

Nice, clean, peaceful!

The lake is great and the water and electric service are without flaws. The sites need maintenance though as many of them have steep drops from the pad to the ground because the ground has slowly eroded. Fortunately for us, someone left a 4 x 8 foot landing they had built to ease the transition. Hopefully these sites will be fixed soon. We love it here.

My family and I absolutely love lakeside it's our most famous spot to go we love fishing and camping there

Site B3 has a big drop off where your RV steps let down. The asphalt has worn away and needs to be repaired. Several other sites in the B loop also have a big drop off so be sure to take boards to build a set of temporary steps for your stay. Other than that, the park itself is very nice and quiet.

Pads in B loop in major need of renovations. Steep drop offs at the edges of camping pads. I always pack my own weedeater when I camp here to clear a path to my boat. Mowing is infrequent. I’ve come here for 20+ years and will continue to do so.. but there are room for improvements. Hopefully the improvements being made to DEF loops will be brought to B loop as well.

Really like this campground!!

The firepits and concrete around the tables are not cleaned up. Grease all over our patio and firepit full of grease and garbage, nails, etc that was never cleaned up and geese were messing in all the tables and pavilions in our site and all the ones around us that were unoccupied and were never cleaned before people came and occupied them. A lady did come every day and pick up trash laying around and they kept it very well mowed.

The night lights at the boat ramp are not working. loading and unloading the boat in the dark isn’t good.
