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.

Very nice campground. Lots of oak trees for shade. Water is not bad but it could use some rain. Playgrounds are nice for kids and plenty of group shelters for larger parties. Quiet and relaxing.

Best camping spot ever! We love this place. Park host are great. Fun to shop in Coleman and they have the best pizza place downtown. Always clean restrooms and the deer are so fun to watch.

Gateway attendants were very friendly and helpful. Sight was clean and neat. Grass was a bit tall but not really that bad. Had a problem with the electric breaker but got it to working and they put in a work order for a new one. Was a nice, peaceful getaway. Booked again for August & September!

I expected more amenities. The stove burned several items. The second sink leaked a lot. I was not told about the zebra muscles and the kids couldn't go swimming. I was not at all pleased.
