Lakeshore RV Resort & Campground

Debbie Scroggy

Stopped at this park for 3 nights on our way through Iowa before heading down into MO. Decided to spend 3 nights since we knew Amish country was close by. Two nights would have been adequate. On the plus side, this is a beautifully maintained park and provides a park-like setting for staying. It is quiet, purposefully, which is perfectly fine with us. We had adequate AT&T service for our Pep-wave and data plan so we had our own wifi for streaming and everything else. The weather was unseasonable delightful - temps in low 80s. Bathhouse was clean with good water pressure (water pressure at our site was quite low). Beware that some back-in sites have power hookups in the very back of the site. This might have been a problem for us since our electric cord is attached at the front of our 41 ft 5th wheel and we have a 50 ft cord. The host moved us to a back in site with the utility pole more in the middle of the site, so we had no problem. This park has gotten dinged on reviews from people who do not want to follow the rules - the biggest of which surround extra guests and partiers. Read the rules and if you can live with them (or even agree with them) then book. You will not be disappointed. If you plan on having lots of people, or playing music and expecting others to have to listen to your choices, you will be disappointed. We found the owner/host to be cordial and helpful. Roads in: we came in I90 heading east most of the way. I90 is a bit rough! Farm roads that brought us the last miles were fine. Would we stay again? If in the area, absolutely, but we would not go out of our way. Note this park is open May 1 - Oct 15. It gets very cold in this area in the winter time. Things to do in the area: Amish area can be driven through in an hour or so. There are a few restaurants in Oelwein. We got reacquainted with DQ blizzards while here - not a great thing, but definitely a very good thing!

This was 100% the nicest campground I have ever been to. The owners Joyce and Craig were very helpful and welcoming, making us feel at home. The grounds were extremely well maintained and free of trash and clutter. It was very obvious they take pride in what the have to offer and they absolutely should. It was a beautiful place to stay and I will be staying there when I am in the area again.

This is one of the nicest campgrounds that I have ever been to. The staff were very friendly and helpful from day one. Lots of things to do for the kiddo's and adults alike. Very clean facilities to boot!!!! We will definitely plan future trips here. (BTW The grounds are exactly as pictured online)

We booked thinking this would be a fun spot for the kids and that was proved wrong real quick. The campground appears nice and well kept but that’s easy to do when no one is outside of their campers. They even yelled at one of our kids for walking in the grass and not the road. Beach is well kept but small and does have some leaches. The hours for goofy golf are short and no one under 6 is allowed to play. We were on egg shells are whole trip trying to avoid the camp hosts. Will not be back.
