Reviews about Camp Lakewood Campground

  Pretty lake and clean bathrooms. Tight navigation between the trees for a wide body camper. Little lounge is clean and had nice bathrooms, but there was a drunk guy right outside peeing on the propane tanks. He said hello to us shortly thereafter and told us he worked here! We have a toddler with us, very inappropriate for kids. Beautiful grounds but very Tight spaces and wonky alternating parking. Neighbors complaining about the same issue. We either have to share a picnic table with the neighbor our door faces or use the picnic table over the sewer on the other side where our other neighbor and us are hooked up to sewer. Icky. Good city water and sewer hook ups. These pictures I took are after the campers cleared out in the morning. Would be 4-5 stars if this place had 30% less sites and no drunks peeing outdoors. Older permanent campers sitting around giving it a run down feel in places. Decent playground. Bright bright orange traffic lights on all night long all over the grounds. Good if you like bright light, bad for stargazers and relaxation. Not happy with their reservations issues. We made a reservation at noon for that night with the condition we may have to push it back a day or two because our rig was in the shop. They said not a problem, BUT When we called two hours later (rig still in shop) they threatened to make us pay for changing our reservation, on the same exact day we had originally made the reservation and told them we may have to change it, which we were originally told would be no problem! Frustrating. Inconsistent, rude treatment. Made us feel unwelcome yet forced to come save getting charged. Would not have given my CC if that was their stance when I initially called. Good enough place for a night but wouldn’t plan to come back. The spaces are very very tight. If you have a large/tall pull behind rig or lots of slides don’t come here unless you are cool with lots of trees on your rig, acorns and nuts falling all night, and tight spaces where you can reach out and touch the neighbors RV.
