This location has quiet, spacious lots, deer, full hookups, spectacular sunsets, dark skies (three satellites and two meteors in 15 minutes.) What more could you ask for at the COE's low price? The gate attendant was very friendly and courteous. The is one of our favorite places!

We have stayed at many COE parks and this is our favorite by far. Very well cared for, the site was level, roomy and easy pull-through. Would highly recommend.

The staff is always friendly and accommodating! We camped at site 077 L2 this time (below the dam). It's nice. Huge shade tree. And it was 50 amp w/sewer hookup. Lakeside is well maintained and we haven't experienced goatheads (stickers or whatever you want to call them). About 3 or so years ago while camping in L1, a retired woman from up north spoke with us. She said she had traveled all over the country, especially the south, and she said Lakeside Park was one of the nicest she'd ever been to. We camped at Airport Park in Waco and Yegua Creek at Lake Somerville, and the goatheads are so bad we can't hardly walk our dogs for having to constantly pulling the stickers out there feet. But Lakeside is fantastic! Now our phone data there is very bad or nearly nothing. We're on AT&T.
