Wakeside Lake RV Park

Called to make same day reservation which was pleasant experience. I was scheduled to arrive around 6pm and host told me she would not be there at that time, but would leave an envelope with registration info on a telephone booth. Arrived at expected time and envelope was waiting as promised, but when i drive to my site there's someone already parked on the site. Unfortunately, the person parked on site and park management were not there to correct this issue. From the looks, the sites were fairly level with gravel. The men's restroom was not secured (The lock had been disabled). Overall this park has potential, but the owner needs to manage the operations properly. Only recommend as a must-stop unplanned visit. The office posted office hours are 12-2pm, so couldn't give feedback in person.

If you ever find yourself on HWY 20 and need a spot to rest your head, this is a good spot to stay. The sites are big enough for my 37 ft Thor and my 20 foot pull behind without a disconnect. Has plenty of power to run everything and the water pressure creates a nice shower flow in the RV. The noise of the highway wasn't noticed during the weekend stay, but as we were packing to leave on a Monday you could tell the traffic had picked up. Either way it was not so much noise that you didn't get any shut eye. The whole campground is gravel, so have your carpet out to keep the dirt out of the RV, but roads are wide and driving through has an easy flow. The people there are the most kind people I have ever met, they were willing to rewire an outlet for me just to ensure I had my 50 amp, but thanks to a late canx they didn't have to. They shut off the sprinkler system for another group so the kids could tent camp, as I said, never seen anyone as accommodating as these folks were. Good Sam discounts all around. If you enjoy a small lake there is plenty to do, fishing (catch release only) and kayaking, along with paddle boards and a wake board system to pull you around (overhead cables) all for a minor fee. A walking path around the lake keeps our four legged friend with lots of smells to discover. Up keep is lacking as things seem a little run down, but when we were there, improvements were in progress. There are security combos on the doors but they didn't seem to function. They laundry area was nice and clean with full size washers. The honor system is all around with the deep freezer holding bags of ice ($2.00 place it in a can) and the sale of wood ($5.00 placed in a box). There are not any fire rings so the use of a fire wood has to be done in a portable fire pit, (they have one you can borrow ) For the two day stay when all others were full up it was worth it. If I needed a quick stop just to put my feet up and cook a steak I would do this again. I wouldn't make it my final destination. Happy RVing!
