Lake Aire RV Park & Campground

Staff screwed up 3 reservations we made back 5 months ago. This after one resident called day before to confirm. Couldn't add a night to stay with assigned site due to incompetent software, park rep told me software was meant for hotels, so no sites can be assigned before actual check in. Low hanging tree limbs, told park maintenance guy twice but in 6 days they never took care of issue. Roads were riddled with pot holes, and I mean many ans some 3-4 inches deep, great to drive rig through. I, as a Good Sam club wagon master would never make another reservation here again. Ir doesn't take a lot to trim trees ans keep roads maintained, especially gravel type.

We stayed here in a 45-foot motorhome while visiting Charleston. We were here three nights, arriving right after a heavy rainstorm. There were puddles in the roads but park staff was busy on a grader, smoothing and leveling the roads out and putting gravel in the puddles. Park is beautiful with a lake, complete with several pairs of ducks, in the center. There is a large pavilion for shade and benches and even hammocks by the lake! We weren't traveling with children but there is a big playground and a game field with corn hole and other games. No dog park, but lots of walking trails around the lake and through the woods. Bathrooms were very clean and nice. Didn't use the pool. We would definitely stay again. Pull-thru sites are very long.

This campground is a swamp. I was placed in a site which was a lake with an area of gravel just large enough for my 22' travel trailer but had to get my feet wet getting in and out. There were other sites available, not as bad as mine but the office staff would not allow me to move to a better location because "other campers were coming in". However, those sites remained vacant during my stay. There are RV owners living permanently in this park who get up at five AM to go to work with loud trucks and gravel road noise. The roads are dirt or gravel in poor repair with mud holes and standing water. Muscovy ducks roam the park with accompanying scattered feces: made for me having wet stinking soiled dogs when they had to go out(and back in). This campground is convenient to Charleston, but next time I will gladly trade a longer commute to avoid this facility.

Sorry to say but I had a bad stay at this campground. First let me say that this is a very nice campground. That's about it though. Many issues, both customer service and facilities itself. First I made reservations 2 months prior for a 50a full hookup pull thru site. Checked in, got all my paperwork, instructions on how to get to the site, and away we went. When we got to the site, I had a 30a full hookup site. Called the office and they did nothing. Girl said there are no other sites open. I said that there were 3 sites on my row empty with 50a service. She said that they were taken. So after an hour of them promising to help, I set up camp and worked off 1 AC at a time to make it work. Never heard another word. I asked if the manager could do something and never received a call back or stop by. Nothing. Second. There are no paved roads coming in, throughout, or going out. Potholes and holes filled with mud that you have to drive thru to get in. Now multiply the issue when towing your Harley behind the coach. Unbelievable. Third. Rained the second night for 2 hours. Hard rain. Completely swamped out all the site near me. I had two inches of water on my patio pad on a pad that was half covered with stones and the other hard mud. Forth. They never, and I mean never, respond to messages after them never answering a phone. Call them for an issue, the fax line picks up. Terrible customer service Fifth. Stayed 4 days, pool out of order 3 of the 4 days. Mind you, after walking around Charleston in 95 degree heat with 90% humidity, you could really use a pool. When walking all the way to the front office, because they don't answer a phone, the explanation is they're doing maintenance. My coach was directly across the street from the pool. Never seen anyone working on the pool in 3 days. Sixth. The dryer in the laundry room (the only one working out of 3) took 5 times to somewhat dry the closthes. Jeans were still damp. Although the office did say that they would refund some of the money. Such a shame. Beautiful campground if it was run right!

An older park, but seems to have some money sunk into it recently. Quiet except for the occasional train, which isn't often and is quickly gone. It's a natural type of park, with gravel roads and gravel/grass sites. Everything was in working order and all the sites are pull-through. There's a lot of permanent campers and there is also tent camping.

Nice park with level sites. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay.

This campground is located about 12 miles southwest of downtown Charleston. It is in a generally quiet area away from highways but you may hear a passing train at night. Most sites are pull throughs. There are some "seasonal" sites some of which are not too attractive. There is a pool that we didn't use. The free WiFi was spotty but generally worked for us. The bathrooms were not kept particularly clean. You walk across a grass and dirt area before walking into the bathroom so the floor seemed to be dirty from the foot traffic. We had a full hook up site with 50 amp electric and paid about $34 per night with Passport America.

We arrived late in the afternoon, which made the park a haven for weary travelers. The staff were very nice, the park is secluded, quiet, and felt very safe and comforting. We were able to get a good nights rest and continue our journey the next morning. If we are in the area and need to stop for a peaceful rest, we will return with no hesitation.

This could be a very nice campground. The sites are level. The people are nice. They have a nice pool and a fish pond (catch & release - no license required) with a park bench and several picnic tables so you can watch the ducks, frogs and turtles. BUT...the roads are narrow and not maintained. There are huge potholes that fill up with muddy water when it rains, and there are a lot of permanent and seasonal residents who don't keep their RVs or their sites clean. Not worth the price, even with Passport America. We won't be coming back.

Not a bad place for an overnight stay.
