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.

My sister and stay a week at (Lakeside Park) Hords Creek, Coleman,Tx. every year for the past 20 + years. It's so peaceful, not to overcrowded. The Deer are very friendly and plentiful around the campsites. Bird watching is great. The water has gone down tremendously which is sad to see every year, but overall, it is a wonderful place to camp and only a short distance to town to get anything we might need. The staff are helpful and friendly. We like to ride around inside the park to see any changes. When you enter the main gate you have excess to all 3 camping parks. ( Friendship, Lakeside and Flatrock)

This is a beautiful and well maintained campground! It has large and fairly level sites. There are several group sites where large gatherings could have nice celebrations!

All in all, this park looks like an awesome park to visit. Will be Happy to see, if the water level will ever get back to normal. I like that lots of sites have Sewer, water & electric. We will be back at another time, if we travel this way again.
We came in late 8 p,m and were happy that Nick was still there.
When I made reservations , we were still 3.5 hours away and it was right after 4 pm so we drove as fast as we could. According to the GPS and the sign by the road , the road showing was closed off and NO SIGN showed us to move forward to the next road, which would have been the Main Entrace to Lakeside and Flatrock. You can only imaging how I felt, there in the dark at 7:55 pm and the road was closed.
I would advise better signs to the camp site area throughout the park. Nick gave us a map, but in the dark everything was hard to make out, so we missed the road by the bathroom to turn right towards the boat ramp, we drove straight and came to our site #8 from the wrong direction. Total lenght of our motorhome with tow vehicle is 53 ft and we had to unhook our tow to turn the motorhome around.
When we drove into our pull-through the hook ups were on the wrong side and at the end. Had to bring the towed vehicle in from the other side.
It would be nice to have dedicated parking for the waterfront bathrooms and that they get cleaned . 1000's of dead flies & nats all over the florr, walls and toilet paper, are not very appealing.
