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.

We love this park. It was the second time weve stayed here and in the same spot. The lake was right out our door and our dog had a blast. No trails in the park, but there was the lake and lots of roads for our dog and me to walk. Very quiet and the stargazing was great. There is very limited AT&T service and no Verizon service. We could not do a speed test from the site for either carrier, but we could check email and Facebook with AT&T.

Was just what we needed, a quite getaway.
Bath and showers were very clean.
Wifi not good, Had to find a spot to talk on phone.
Would like to have a playground near Lakeside camp sites. As it is now you have to drive towards the back of park for kids to play.

We reserved group shelter 6 and we noticed the same problems that we encountered last year. The men's bathroom toilet does not shut off. You have to wiggle the handle to get the water to stop running. The kitchen faucets water can't be completely turned off. The entry door will not open or shut properly. It has been worked on several times. There was problems with both doors to the men's and women's bathrooms. You would think that the rental price charged that the shelter would be fully functional. Our family thoroughly enjoys going to Hordes Creek Campground.

We love the park. Spacious, quiet. Only issue is people cant seem to understand to turn their lights off. One of our most favorite parks. Close to Coleman and Ballinger, great towns

This is my favorite ACE campground. What I love are the wide open spaces with wildflowers, beautiful oak trees, and wildlife. Campsites are close together but that does not bother us. We has descent internet with my AT&T hotspot. It was good enough to stream YouTube TV and handle a laptop and a couple of iPads. Lake was only 29% full so all fishing docks except 1 were closed. Most boat ramps were closed but there may have been 1 open somewhere. Call the facility to confirm your needs before booking is my recommendation. Shower and toilets were ok at best. Owl Pharmacy is a must see for lunch counter and old fashioned soda drinks.
