LAKESIDE STATE PARK

Important information

Please note that during your stay the campground may look different this season. As a direct result of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) and its negative impacts to the growth and health of Ash trees within the park, staff have had to cut down a large quantity of trees leaving a more open canopy. We have done this in an effort to keep all of our campers safe while reducing potential future damage to camper property and campsites themselves. We have also taken this opportunity to do site work, drainage work on sites, site pad maintenance and more. We understand that trees are a major component of the parks experience and are working diligently on restoration plans for new trees for future generations. Park Rules: Quiet hours are from 10PM to 7AM. NO swimming in lake allowed. NO permanent hook-ups to water spigots. Fires in fireplaces only. Do not cut trees or branches. Alcohol in kegs or beer balls, firearms, air rifles, bows and arrows or slingshots are prohibited. NO loud speakers or stereo equipment. NO fish cleaning. Must be 18 to register for a site. ATTENTION PET OWNERS: Current proof of rabies inoculation is required at check-in (metal tags will not be accepted). At any time during your stay, pet owners may be required to provide proof of rabies inoculation upon request. Be sure to have this information available to present to park staff. Pets must be on a leash no longer than 6ft and under control at all times. Do not leave pets unattended and always clean up after them. Pet owners/permit holders are liable for any damage, personal injury, or nuisance caused by the pet. Where pets are permitted, there is a maximum limit of 2 pets per site. NO PETS in A, B, or C loops. Pet Loops are D, E, F and G. Only 2 pets per site are permitted. It is preferred that sites within designated pet loops are chosen when using Service animals. They will be allowed elsewhere when these sites are not available or practical. Looking to reserve for just 1 night?
