Taking the price into consideration, this was a pretty decent little place to stay. Don't expect much in the way of amenities, but if you're looking for simply a place to plop your trailer for the night or two on a level gravel pad, hookup to full services and explore the area, it's a solid choice. It's quiet if you have a enclosed trailer, but it would be a little noisy for a tent with highway 20. Be aware, there is nobody on the property; at least not full-time . All communications are through text and email. For us, it worked just fine, but we're pretty self-sufficient. There were no problems to speak of any way.

This is a decent spot by a nice little lake. With Beautiful trees. It is NOT a great spot for tent camping. The hwy 20 traffic was loud and nonstop all night long and around midnight the sprinklers went off and soaked the inside and outside of my tent since the sprinkler head popped up under my rain fly. It would've been extremely helpful to know about the sprinklers!!! The bathroom area is decent but not overly clean in shower area.

Nice lakeside park. We stopped off last night at this RV park on the way to Yellowstone. We liked the mature trees that provided shade on a warm summer day. All the spots are drive-through so easy to get in and out. We had access to water, power and sewer hookup. The site is clean and well maintained. There is a laundry facility with plenty of units for those who need it. The shower/toilet facilities were clean and there was plenty of hot water and pressure. The price was very reasonable for the location just outside Rexburg. Not a deal breaker, but we weren’t able to connect to the WiFi.

The park is fine if nothing goes wrong, but if you have an issue, good luck getting help. We had sewage coming out of their sewer hookup at our spot. Didn’t know until we got back from our exploring. Whole area reeked and was blocking our hookups. We have tried calling and texting the number the park provided. Multiple calls and no answer. Eventually someone calls back, but is one of the rudest people I have to encounter. She went on implying we are the blame and how this isn’t her job to deal with these situations and there is nobody who does. She has shown no concern, no apologies, no offers to help, just attitude. One of her top phrases happened to be “I have a life outside of this you know” She eventually just told us to move spots. Which we did. We had to walk through sewage to get our camper unhooked and moved. Unfortunately for us, we still had a few nights there. I have reached out at least five times to speak with someone on this matter. I’ve called, texted and emailed and zero response. With the backing up of their sewer, rude employees, site surrounded with dog poop and trash, I would not recommend this place at all. There is a much nicer newer park right next door. Really regretting giving this place a shot. I have added some pictures I have taken. The sewage pictures show the puddles. If you zoom in enough you can see human feces and other things floating about. You can see some of sewage dried up around it. We didn’t realize it was sewage the first day with all the rain we had. Thus, the half dried up sewage. Also adding pictures of the laundry/ restrooms/ showers. Everything was just cleaned right before I took these image's. It was not clean for a majority of our stay.

The staff's dedication to accommodating guests is truly exceptional. We encountered a transmission issue while traveling to Wakeside, which unfortunately resulted in our truck being in the shop for a few days beyond our expected arrival. As one might imagine, the stress of a breakdown was considerable, especially with our destination being on that list of stess. Upon contacting Wakeside, their kindness and willingness to accommodate our late arrival by keeping our site available were greatly appreciated. The phone conversation was remarkably pleasant and reassuring, leaving me feeling completely stress-free after our call. I had no concerns about where we would be staying once our truck was back on the road. In our opinion, Wakeside stands out as the best RV park in the area. This was not our first visit, and given that we have family in Rexburg, we anticipate it will not be our last. Wakeside possesses a charming, somewhat rustic ambiance, with lovely trees providing shade in the RV sites. The sites themselves offer plenty of space for parking and maneuvering. All of this is complemented by a nice lake to enjoy and view. Furthermore, the restrooms are well-maintained and clean. We would suggest some additional maintenance on the lakeside crossing bridges and a bit more weed control on the charming little beach area to truly elevate this park to its full potential. Once again, we firmly believe that this is the nicest RV park in this area.

Beautiful small park on a small lake. Sites were all graveled, large, good hookups and had beautiful shade trees, a small picnic table. Grass areas to walk the dog. Laundry room was clean as were the restroom& showers. Complaints: couldn’t find any trash cans to put garbage and doggy poop bags in. Asked staff and they said no there weren’t any!!! Also we were given a code to get into bathroom but the door was propped open with a faded sign attached that said not to close door or you would be locked in, cleaning staff verified this when asked. People walking by could see right in to the showers. Women’s and men’s signs were not visible and I had to tell a young man he should not be in the women’s.

Great staff, friendly, and large sites for parking RVs. No grass at parking spots, just rocks. Sometimes visitors don't follow rules but that's any public place where others don't care. I would highly recommend this place if you can get a reservation. Stayed for a month-long and had a good time.

This park is great! Laundry is very clean and is on the honor system to pay. Lake is gorgeous! We were there in September so didn't use/rent the equipment. Park is clean with old growth trees. Spaces are big, most are pull through. We will be back!

My sister and I stayed in the cabin at Wakeside Lake for the weekend. We weren’t sure what to except but we were very impressed and surprised! It’s a very beautiful property with mature trees and a lake! The bathrooms are very clean and have key pad door locks which made us feel very safe for showering. We never once felt unsafe staying here, anywhere on or near the property. We went fishing and paddle boarding (we did bring our own gear)! No luck on catching fish but had a good time. Everything in Rexburg was only a 10 min drive away. We met the host on arrival (Brett) and he was very kind. He also had great communication and responded to our texts very fast. Great value for your money overall! We will definitely be staying here again.

Unfortunately, our experience was different than some of these other reviews. When we arrived, we did not receive our site number by email so we went to the office which was closed. There was a note on the door of the office to go to the camp host, so we did. When my husband knocked on the door of the camp host, he was greeted by a very confrontational man who was not happy we were there. He belittled and demeaned my husband, and then me. If we hadn’t already paid online we would have left immediately. The man was incredibly aggressive. At one point, I thought he was going to start a physical fight with my husband, who was being incredibly calm. I have never in all my years of RVing come across such a hostile camp host. We would definitely not recommend this campground, and will not be returning.

Great RV park. Stayed for the weekend recently and used the full hookups, which was nice for the end of October. Though we had our trailer, I did use the showers provided by RV park, and they were clean and roomy. My husband fished in the lake and we got to see a couple of beautiful sunsets. We will definitely be coming back!

Just came from spending a week at the lodge for a sewing retreat. Such a lovely spot, the windows looked over the lake. Great walking area too! Hope we have another retreat here next year.

Roomy spots. Nice lake. Lots of conveniences nearby. Would give it a 5 if the lots received some grading and additional gravel. Some spots can hold water if it rains alot. Nice laundry room and bath house. Camp host did a great job of looking after things and checking in with guest. Would definitely return there if in the area.

This was our first RV park experience. Over all, everything was positive and it was a good learning opportunity. The location was good and the small lake was pretty. The price was reasonable. However, there was a glitch with our reservation in that we had requested a 30amp spot, but were given a 50amp hookup. The water source leaked, so we had to deal with that as well. The park is right next to the freeway, so we had traffic noise all night. We managed to adapt to it all and made it work. We would stay here again, but would be more careful in our reservation.

Not much to see or do here. Low key but almost nothing by way of amenities
