Lakeside Campground is wonderful and the owners are fantastic. It is very family friendly with a pond and an outdoor heated swimming pool. They have made tremendous improvements to the campground and sincerely care about all of the people who chose to stay here. I was made aware of a recent post that described them as being racist and denying people their free right to speech. As I was involved in this incident, I would like to shine some light on it. Unfortunately, at the time, I was fearful of addressing my concerns with the people camping next to us. The times we are living in caused me to fear retaliation if I complained directly to the party involved. I was offended by the raucous behavior, extreme foul language and mistreatment of the standing trees. I was wrong for not speaking to them directly as I discovered a few days later. The campers were simply letting off steam and having a good time. When the owners spoke to them, their behavior changed. I am grateful that the owners of this establishment were willing to address the campers and explain the rules that are in place to protect all those who stay here. It takes courage to have rules and confront people when those rules are not being followed. I regret that they were put in the position of having to intervene as it resulted in a bad review that may affect their business. I however, praise them for having rules, enforcing them and offering a place that is safe for all campers. They are not racist and do not deny people their free speech.

We had a wonderful stay at Lakeside Campground over Labor Day weekend. It is a busy campground, but the staff were all very friendly. Our kids LOVED the big pool, and of course the lake is a big hit. We were impressed with the ice cream social the staff offered on Sunday as well. We plan to come back next summer.

Went here on a much needed weekend getaway, good views, lots of activities ( pool, swim in lake, kayaks, paddleboats and fishing posts). They have a little store for most necessities. Provided safety gear for the water activities. And no charge for using them which was refreshing. It is not a secluded area, so if youre looking for complete privacy, at least along the lake front it isnt. Very dog friendly place as well for those who have little critters. Overall a nice refreshing place to get away, relax by the lake and do some activities while there.

We love our stay July 25 2025. We were on route and only sleeping one night, but we fell in love with this campground. Fantastic owners, friendly campers and such a beautiful place. Too bad we live so far away, otherwise we'd be seasonal. Go! You won't be disapointed.
