Lehman's Lakeside RV Resort

Roy Shipman

This place only take cash or checks. It is not a resort as the name implies. There is not a single trash can on the premises and for $60.00 you get water and electricity that's it. I did not see any lake there is a pond of sorts. The showers are ok but lacks any hooks or anyplace to hang anything. It appears that they had hooks but in the repair process they didn't reinstall any. One stall had 1 hook and in that stall someone hung a small rack to place your soap and shampoo. The water pressure was good and hot water was good. The wifi they claim had bad signal strength and would not allow my laptop or TV to stream. It appears that most people here are permanently set up The place has potential but is not properly maintained or staffed. The management is more concerned with the 5 mph rule then anything here. I was scolded for my approximate 7 to 8 mph speed I will not be back The office has coolers but they are completely empty. The store shelves are mostly empty. Unless you need a hand made refrigerator magnet you are out of luck

Oh.. I don’t even know where to begin on this one.. I read the reviews and found that the office woman, Robin, could flip her switch in an instant. We gave her the benefit of the doubt and was nice and accepting to all the workers there. Had no issues until my husband was asked to help move another campers rv because their truck was in the shop. Mind you my husband just worked and the other camper got all this approved by the staff. Robin decided to play with fire that day. It was 7 pm to about 9pm that evening and it was a total disaster. As my husband pulled said camper to the new spot, Robin drove through camp sites and stopped in front of my husband causing him to slam on his breaks, she gets out and starts going off on him, to which he politely told her to lower her voice and take a breath. She then proceeds to stand directly in the path of travel as he is trying to pull into the site, after hearing her yell for about 20 min so the whole camp ground could hear. My husband finally told her to stand back and shut up. Being quite a few sites away from her I could hear her screaming. When confronted the next day I asked if I could get the Owners contact information and was told “ you will never get that”. Im sure to protect herself. A few days go by and my husband and I go in again and he apologized if he upset her in any way. She looked at him and didn’t say a single word. No apology no acknowledgment towards him at all. Finally she left us alone for a few weeks. We were out of the camper and received a voicemail stating that a delivery driver dropped something off at our camper and if we don’t get him to stop speeding we will no longer be able to receive packages and if the delivery driver continues we will be kicked out of the park. We didn’t order anything. When we got home the pack wasn’t ours so we went up to the office and gave it to Robin. Stating that it wasn’t our fault and that we would like to make sure this doesn’t go against us. She said “ doesn’t matter if it was yours or not it is your problem and if it continues then they will proceed with what the voicemail stated.” When I brought up that the UPS or fedex driver always speeds she said “no they don’t. They know the rules”. We left and didn’t continue the conversation. The water there will ruin your pipes and stain your showers and toilets. We don’t know where they get it from but I will be calling the city to see if they can get an inspection. The police have been in and out of the rv park like crazy. One day the SWAT team was there with ARs walking around. When confronted, Robin point blank lied and said “ they weren’t here” when I pulled up the report and article she then said “ that wasn’t anything big” The cops had ARs and walking around the rv park! Police and ambulances came multiple times in the middle of the night. Roads are an absolute disaster. Potholes everywhere. Told not to drive on the grass but can’t drive on the road without damaging your vehicle. The only person there that we like is the maintenance man. He was the sweetest and even checked on my daughter after a choking incident.

Lehman’s RV Park – 2 Stars Lehman’s RV Park has potential, but it needs serious improvements before it could be considered an actual “RV Resort.” 1. Water Quality The water here is rough—high in metals, yellow-tinted, and carries a strong odor. Definitely not something you want to drink or shower in without a heavy-duty filtration system. If you’re planning a stay, make sure you bring a quality water filter. 2. The Mini Cooper Speed Patrol There’s a woman in a small blue Mini Cooper who seems to have unofficially taken on the role of speed enforcer. I was doing about 8 mph (pretty reasonable), and halfway down the drive, she stuck her hand out the window, signaling me to stop and “keep it under 5.” The kicker? Later that night, her husband blew past my RV doing at least 10–15 mph. Classic. 3. Razor Rocket Man There’s also a guy on a black Razor scooter (looks like staff) who absolutely tears through the park. If the speed limit is really 5 mph, he’s breaking it by a factor of six. Honestly surprised he hasn’t launched into orbit yet. 4. Propane Woes Tried to get my RV’s propane tank filled around 3 PM on a Friday—no one was around. Called the office and was told no one would be available until Monday. Ended up having to disconnect and drive to the nearby Love’s. Not exactly convenient when you’re running low. 5. Laundry Facilities If you value your clothes, steer clear of the laundry room. Between the bad water and the worn-out machines, your wardrobe doesn’t stand a chance. 6. Roads are absolutely horrendous. It’s a pothole maze that makes driving an event trying to weave back and forth to miss them.

In all transparency, I asked if I could change my monthly due date because of where my paychecks fall and they refused. I have stayed here all summer and winter and have continuously paid between 4 and 14 days late with all late fees. I paid for a 2 (100 lb) gas tank set up, where they didn't hook it up right and the gas leaked out twice. I thought it was on my end, but it wasn't, and wasn't reimbursed when I finally noticed the smell when the direction of the wind changed. Sometimes they say I owe one thing and write me a bill and sign it and then call later saying I have a higher bill and they made a mistake. I paid up every time. The showers they only clean supposedly once a week during the winter because they are less busy per management. Dirt rings in the toilets, mold under floor shower mats, and hair hanging from a bolt for over a month in the shower. I had my sewage drain pipe slashed in the summer, people walk through my site and their tracks in the snow led to their trailer and management said they couldn't do anything, someone left a peed on snowball on my picnic table, and management said they couldn't do anything. Now, like almost always, I can't pay rent because I opened a new, local checking account and put a transfer of money to pay. I showed them the amount transferred and it was supposed to be available in 3 days, but it now is available per the bank in 7 days. The campground owner (Robin) said they don't care. Not to mention they were very prejudice against Latino campers and charge visitors (even if it is only for a partial day to say hi to me). Oh, yes....water smells and their small lake/pond is full of algae in the summer. I put up with it because I need to sell my house first, but took employment near their campground. I am not totally in the right, but with what I put up with, it is insane. Not to mention I only sleep there at night and go home on the weekends. One more thing, police were at the campground one month about twice a week. Someone naked, a trailer fire, and domestic disputes.

Live here full time couple of months. I really enjoyed it. Few lakes to fish, big playground for the kids, a lake to swim ( more on natural side) but I enjoyed it as well. Good people living in. Nothing wrong. I seen in few reviews about bad road , bumpy. True. But nothing to complain when the speed limit in the campground is 5 MPH. And you better drive slow because of the kids. The office was courteous if I ever had a question. I strongly recommend this place. FYI about 45-50 min away from O’hare. For some people this information might help

Called for a reservation and they had one available for two nights and change to a new site after two nights was there for a week great place good service

We only stayed one night, arriving late and leaving early. The roads are very bumpy and hard to drive a motor home on. The pull through water and electric only spaces are basically mud. The lady who took my reservation was very friendly. I think they might cater more to the long term campers, as they are the only ones with access to the lake. One of the staircases on the playground was broken. It was harmless for a one night stay but you might want to look elsewhere for a vacation stay.

Very nice place with trails throughout. There is noise from I 90 but it wasn't noticeable from our site. There are cows located on site but I think they might be part of another farmer's property. LOL. Nice staff also.
