We love camping at Lakeside Fire! Every time we stay you can tell that the owners and staff love what they do! The care is above and beyond. The owners are out working and involved in all activities. The checkout crew is phenomenal in ensuring the line is moving at the dump station. What really stands out is ALL staff are friendly and have a smile on their face. The grounds are well kept! We highly recommend everyone to stay at Lakeside Fire!

We traveled as a group with three sites and loved the campground. The kids had a great time with plenty to do, especially the lake inflatables. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the grounds were well cared for and clean. We did not run into anything negative over our three day stay. Thanks and I’m sure we’ll be back.

I stayed at this Campground about 10 years ago and we enjoyed ourselves. Now we just stayed again this past weekend and couldn't believe how many improvements were done at the campground. We were there for the state water ski competition. We will definitely be back again. My son absolutely loved the floating water park and the swim pool. It was so nice to be able to get anything we needed right on site if we had forgotten something.

This campground was so nice and fun to stay at! My kids had such a great time. We will definitely be booking here more frequently. Attentive & friendly staff, lots of weekend activities and clean water to swim in. Mosquitoes were also not bad here either even with it being near the lake. Even the chicken coop was very well maintained!

This is our second year staying at Lakeside Fire Campground and we will be back! We stayed Sunday-Wednesday and it was great! Campsite is big, lots of room for the kids to play between sites. We did have a lot of ants and flies in our site; but hey, that’s camping and being outside. We felt very secured and safe while there, we liked the speed limit is enforced, especially with 3 little ones riding their bikes all over. Definitely will be back!
