What Guests Are Saying
Lakeside Park is highly praised for its beautiful, spacious campsites shaded by large oak trees and abundant wildlife, including deer. Visitors appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and the peaceful atmosphere, making it a preferred destination for camping. However, some reviewers noted issues with tall grass, dated bathrooms, and occasional maintenance concerns, but these did not significantly detract from their overall positive experiences.

Great staff, very friendly. Clean facilities. Lake is low right now and many trees are still showing effects of the severe cold we experienced earlier in the year. One of our favorite places to get away!

Good out of the way lake and campground. If you avoid holiday's and weekends the place is mostly empty. Good level campsites and clean bathrooms. Lake is usually down a lot, but still some good bass and crappie to be found. Campsites are reasonably spaced as well.

This is probably the saddest park I've seen in TX. I wish Texas Parks and Wildlife would take it over and fix it up. It has incredible potential, but is SO poorly designed. Bath houses are so limited and very inconsistent in their locations. SO many of the camping loops require a HIKE to get to the bathrooms/showers if you want to use them. The main dump station was out of commission and it required us trying to find an empty full hook up site that was empty on a Saturday to dump before we left. All the other dump stations were to hard to get to and would be "backwards" to the direction we would be coming from and there were no places to turn around. CRAZY!!! Some sites had smoker type grills, others were just a metal plate on a stand. Some had nothing. Some picnic tables were metal, some were concrete and need replacing. It was nice that all picnic tables had a cover over them. If I lived near it, I would still use it, but would fight for the full hook ups close to bathrooms. But who designs a bathroom with NO SINKS to wash your hands???? Again - CRAZY!!

We love this park; we have camped here in travel trailers for many years. Park is clean and well maintained. We were there for 9 days this time. Please keep up the good work and ensure we always have Hords Creek Lake.
