Lake Ladonna Family Campground

I grew up going here. It was some of the best time of my life. I had a crazy life when I came here. I felt safe. Lamont was a friend of my family and he was so down to earth. I remember going there for the Vietnow annual camping trip. I always loved the flurry ice creams. I know the train was loud and it was easy to look at it as inconvenient but those that camped there then did not care. I went there in the 90s. We were seasonal campers and this place will always have a place in my heart.

We recently visited on a week day and had the absolute best day! The life guards were amazing and a very nice young man named Mason was such a delight inside the concession stand! If you want an enjoyable day at the beach I would highly recommend making the trip

- bad wifi/data service in area - fun, but some activities were not available - pay for showers (25¢ for 10 min) - pretty area - nice staff - reasonable price for cabins

The camp sites are TINY! 🤏 There was no access to our "campsite". The "road" on the map was just grass. We had to awkwardly walkthrough other people's sites to get to the bathrooms, and other people had to walk through ours as well. "Please excuse us as we walk right past your circle of chairs around your campfire." Absolutely zippy-ZERo privacy. My camper was 5 feet from 3 other campers. When we got ready to leave, we had to ask other people to move their trucks, lawn games, and chairs just to clear a path for us to be able to exit our "site"! Ridiculous who designs camp sites with campersites stacked 2 deep? It felt like how the cars are double and triple parked for a Cubs game down by Wrigley!!! Also, from a safety standpoint - If one of our children had gotten burned or hurt somehow, I literally have no idea how we would have even gotten out of the place in an emergency. 🚑. They must make tons of money by packing everyone in on top of each other like this. I will never go here again. And I didn't even mention the trains! The trains were less than 300 feet from the sites and were so loud throughout the night. They flew by at high speeds and blasted their air horn as they approached. The trains would go by about every 45 minutes - all through the day and night! 😭 Restrooms were very clean, although one flooded while we were there. The kids loved the playground and played on it nearly constantly.

I will never go back! The information on website does not warn you but there is a freight train that rolls through if not one but two freight trains at roll through every 2 to 3 hours shakes your tent you're being to the core. Not to mention the loud air horns that blaze through. The train tracks are less than 50 ft away from all tent camping sites. The Resort stated that they are not responsible for the freight trains and noise! But by LAW they are responsible for being transparent on the details on their website. So I'm forewarning everyone if you don't want to hear rumbling freight trains or air horns every 2 to 3 hours do not go to this resort! When water is at endless use at every campsite you will be paying for a shower!

My Husband and I drove from Kansas City to this location for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Camp ground kept up and the facilities are very clean. Although, the Freight trains that blows their horns every 2-3 hours and the rubbling of trains with all Tent campsites less then 50 feet away from Very Busy train tracks! It loud and shakes your belongings including yourself. I bought a two night stay. We left the next morning! I was told they don't refund although, I could get a free night! I will never come back to this Resort! If it was stated on their information website that there was a freight train that goes through every 2 to 3 hours my husband and I would not have wasted the miles gas nor the trip to come up to that resort. I'm still asking for a one night refund although, it is very unsuccessful due to them wanting to take the money it has been very unsuccessful. A lot of excuses made! Now you receive electricity in endless use of water at every site although, if you shower you will pay ! This place is unsafe for families due to the trains that come through. We had a horrible time and will never go back! They got one star because I couldn't give them a less. One star is not worth this Resort! Stay away if you want R&R you won't get it here! They nickel and dime everything and tent camping is $65.00 a night minimum. No fire pits offered. You can't cook with a camping cook stove . Although, a Cafe is on site with a general store.

This place is one of the most beautiful campgrounds I have ever seen. It is VERY apparent that they take excellent care of the grounds and show an abundance of pride in the appearance if their park. The staff was very friendly and the campers all seemed to be happy. If you are retired military or even an ex boy-scout you will absolutely love it. Tell Virgil I said "Hi"!

Nice campground with fun sandy beach with swing, slide, and trampoline. Good sized sites. The main comaint is the freight train 20-50 yards away that blows its horn for the nearby intersection about 6-9 times per day (including overnight) based on our recent weekend there.
