This campground needs help. The "pull-through" we were in was nothing more than, a shoulder of the road. There were thistles and burrs everywhere because the grounds are neglected. Money for upkeep has not been spent there for a very long time. Nothing to do around the area either. Will not go back.

The higher numbered sites are spaced well apart. The lower numbered sites are closer but still acceptable. Level and paved, various lengths. Due to the railings and boulders around the sites and trees shading them, care is needed backing in. ATT and Verizon are very poor here. There is a day use area adjacent to the park, several boat ramps and a couple of fishing piers. Wonderfully quiet, lots of wildlife. Coleman is a great small town - stop in at the Owl Drug and Soda Shop for good sandwiches and a root beer float.

Lakeside is not a campground for those roughing it in a tent. The water and electric hookups were nice, the site was large, and the concrete picnic tables had a sturdy metal roof, but these amenities mean very little when the wind is blowing all your stuff away. This campground is usually windy and burn bans are more common than not in Coleman county (according to the ranger and some locals we talked to). if you have an RV and you stay in it, this campground would be ok, but that just isn't our style. The restrooms reminded me of something from a goofy comedy where the sink splashes your crotch and you have to get 1/2 inch from the shower's wall mounted motion sensor to get some water to flow (a spitting dribble). Once again, stay in your RV and use the bathroom in it. There are no trails for hiking or biking, which we were very disappointed about. Our last camping trip was at Daingerfield State Park in northeast Texas and we had a fantastic time there. The rangers were great, and the site was cheap, but we won't be returning.

We stay at Lakeside several times each year. It is almost always very pleasant; quiet, great views, good neighbors (even on busy weekends,) great biking roads. We will come back again and again.
