Excellent park. Staff very helpful. Staff leads you to site. All concrete sites, long pull throughs. Ample space between sites. One of our top 5 parks. if you get a chance stay here. convenient to I-10 will stay here again if in area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Have used this park for overnight stops for a couple of years on trips between FL and TX. Used Passport America on available days per their agreement with no problems. Be advised that the park has changed the Passport America(PA)rules but neglected to advise me of this when I made this reservation, nor have they changed the PA Directory. PA discount is now valid only for back-in sites, no pull-thrus, and payment is cash only. Still a nice park, but not nearly the deal for overnight stop that is has been. And lack of new PA info when making reservation, since I was already in their computer, and not updating PA Directory is not good business practice. Back-in site for an overnight forces me to look elsewhere on future trips. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean park with small private lake with easy access from I-12. The $28.00 daily rate is for off-lake ($150 weekly). Lakeside rate is $32.00 ($170 weekly). Their website does not advertise rates. The off-lake sites, which are close to the highway, are noisy. Friendly, efficient staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is all they say in previous post. Very nice and spacious sites. Clean, sparkling, modern bathroom. Workcampers go above and beyond to make you happy. No cable TV but is wired for it. Expect it sometime this year. Big rally room. Pretty swans and birds on the lake with a nice sidewalk that goes around lake. Some permanents in park and they leave early to work (main road workers), a little noisy, but not real bad. We will recommend and return. Take Passport for 1 night only Sun-Thurs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We really like this park. Nice large sites - concrete. Wide roads and very clean. The only complaint is that while the rules for dog owners - including the leash rule - are in bold print, the managers allow their own dogs to run free, unsupervised. It seems that the manager would want to set an example. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I don't give 10's, no one, including me is perfect. This place is great. Two gathering areas, a 20+ acre lake, small pool. It is not a park to spend a vacation because of the small sites. Cement pads eliminate mud and mess. If you want to hold a barbeque at your site, or have a beer party, and make a lot of noise then this is not the place for you. The rules are normal and it does make a great base from which to go to all the local events and attractions. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are full time RV'ers and 'wintering' at Lakeside, before 'summering' in the mountains. This is the cleanest park we've ever stayed at. Yes, the park has concrete streets and wide concrete sites. It sure beats stepping into a pool of water or worse yet - mud. The Manager and staff are very friendly, and go out of the way to assist in all phases of our stay. If previous reviewers had a problem with the Manager and staff it had to be something the reviewer was doing - you only get a highlighted note on your door if you break the rules more than once. All parks have rules - it's the rules that result in a clean and safe park, rather than allowing trashy people to come in and trash the park. No cable, but if you have satellite it's no problem. Our rate is based on a monthly rate for a lakeside site. We will winter here every year! We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you are looking for a concrete slab, here it is. The park is very clean. The staff is horrible. The manager is the worst witch ever. The list of rules is very long. They don't like you being outside of your camper. They will not allow a trailer in the park, nor a boat. The golf carts fly by all hours of the day or night. The golf carts are actually a 4 wheeler type thing with a gas motor. Noise. No trees, no shrubs, nothing to do. They ride the park looking for something to complain about. No cable. If you are caught breaking the rules, and not there, they will duct tape the rule sheet to your door. The offense will be hi lighted in yellow. Do yourself a favor, drive on by!
The note I mentioned was a picnic table violation. The lawn crew moved the table leg from the slab on to the grass. I had a note taped to the door to put it back on the slab. The lawn crew also mowed my patio mat. The mat was torn beyond repair. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Excellent overnighter for the I-10 traffic bypassing New Orleans on I-12. Just off I-12, Exit 22, it is just a few minutes east of Baton Rouge which has plenty of sights, activities, malls and some really great restaurants. We have stayed here several times. We use it as one of our regular stopovers on our way from Florida to Texas. Outstanding people, outstanding sites and hoop-ups. We've considered going there just to sit and relax for a few days and see the sights. The only thing we find lacking is the lack of cable. A park this good really needs good cable. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have never stayed at a TEN rated RV park before and we full time. This one has to be the best, cleanest, people orientated, friendly park we have ever stayed in. Its just fantastic. Don't hesitate to stay long term or short term here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Couldn't find a nicer place! Friendly, clean, all paved pads, and quiet. I can not understand the previous review, 1st class place, nice friendly people, a great place; although I wouldn't come here in the summer, then I wouldn't be in La. in the summer! We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you need a campground that is basically just slots, this is for you! They is maybe 2 feet of grass between each sites and when we pulled in we were told the few spots we were able to choose as the rest are for long term campers; better known as "residents". There is nothing to do except fish in a small lake or swim in a very small pool. No shade at all. Although staff was friendly they make it known that they cater to their long term guests! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Brand new, wide paved streets, wide concrete sites, picnic tables, spotless facilities and nice pool. Bathrooms/laundry are made of concrete blocks (we were here in tornado season). Passport American Sun-Thurs so we paid $13.88. Friendly, helpful staff. We will definitely return when in this area. No mosquitoes when we were here! We camped here in a Motorhome.
EXCELLENT new park with wide paved roads, wide spacious sites. Friendly management providing a clean facility. Livingston is close to any of the major Louisiana cities - Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Hammond. While staying at Lakeside be sure to visit Wayne's BBQ up Hwy 63 - some of the best brisket, ribs and pork you'll ever find. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed one night on our way to FL. Nice CG with excellent paved roads and nice wide sites. Unfortunately no trees and unless you were in a back-in, no fire rings. Friendly owners and we were escorted to our site. Would definitely stay again and for longer period. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Easy access from I-12 & SR 63 (South Frost Rd) - good signage & directions. Escort & assist with parking on long, level cement pads with adjacent patio and vehicle parking. Although the pads were slightly narrow, there was plenty of room for our 37’ 5th wheel and 1-ton dually. With slides deployed there was very little cement remaining on the street side and back of the unit. Aside from cement roadways and site pads, all else is surrounded by well-cared for lawn, which becomes quite muddy when it rains – which is often. The park is close to a fairly busy local roadway, intermittent traffic noise somewhat disturbing - not the worst we’ve ever heard but certainly there. Daily garbage pick-up at the site. Very friendly & helpful staff. The campground will accept guests’ incoming mail. Two great common buildings, both with AC. Nice pool, adequate laundry & showers and propane is available on site. Most of the 143 sites are back-in with one row of 13 pull-throughs and there are four good-sized rental cabins (park models). There are young trees, a fire ring and a picnic table at each site. WiFi is provided by Tengo – a pay service with a slightly hefty price tag ($34.95/mo) but an excellent signal where we were. We stayed in site # 121 on the west side of the 18 acre lake and closest to the water’s edge – fishing is free and no state license is required. The south side of the park (the longest side of the slightly rectangular lake) is surrounded by thick woods and swamp area. Fun to watch & feed the water birds including a swan, mallards, coots & even an unusual black swan. A bald eagle occasionally swoops in for a little fishing. This is laid out like a commercial, cookie-cutter type park, but the friendly staff and the natural ambiance of the area, raise it above many that we’ve seen. We enjoyed our 2-week stay - the only reason we gave this park a “9” is that the sites are slightly close to each other. We would return if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Other reviews about staff being rude, and high-handed rules are true. If you like mosquitos, you'll love this place! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The $14.50 (+ tax) Passport America rate for full 50 amp sites made this a real bargain. The park is mostly cement, with grass between the sites and around the small lake. We had a level pull-through that must be 80 feet long. The grounds and facilities look new. They are perfectly maintained. Most of the sites are taken with long-term residents, but they are almost all newer, well-maintained motor homes and 5ers. It is only about 1.5 miles from I-12. A terrific overnight stop at this price. They don't allow Pit Bulls, Dobermans, or Rottweillers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It was a blessing to find a nice, well-maintained park that was not right on I-10! The short distance south of the interstate allowed us to enjoy the surroundings without all the interstate noise. We camped on the lake and appreciated the concrete pad and patio area. For people who are looking for a nice park without all the planned activities, this is a definite place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent park, very clean and the staff is very friendly. Not a lot of shade but there are young trees planted so eventually there will be. Sites are level and the concrete pads are large. It is amazing how well kept up this campground is. Would recommend this campground to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground has become a permanent trailer park. There is no activities for the campers that is allowed to use limited sights. The campground has changed since they first opened and needed campers to come in now they don't need them weekend campers they only cater to the permanent residence of the Lakeside Trailer Park. I will not go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If you are planning on camping here, make sure you check all of their rules. This was the worst camping trip I ever experienced and I will not return, nor will any of our friends. First of all they made us move our golf cart trailer twice. They do not allow trailers in the grass, so the day attendant moved it for us to the concrete next to our vehicle, then the evening attendant told us we had to move it to the front. We didn't bring our locks for the trailer, so we refused to move it unless they would take responsibility for the trailer if it was stolen. They refused to take responsibility, so they let us keep it on the concrete. But they do let the buses keep their car trailers on the grass. Another reason I will not return is that the children cannot ride their battery operated four wheelers and cars. It is against their rules. I was told by the manager that they could ride their bikes, and when I told her my 7 year old nephew was handicap and he could not ride a bike that is why his parents brought his four wheeler, she told me and my husband that "you just have to understand that some kids will be left out of things no matter where you go". Talk about a low blow. How can you feel that way against a child that is handicap? What a heartless person. The final reason I will not return is that when I told the manager this was my first and last visit there, she told me it didn't matter because they are booked every weekend with waiting list, so I guess they don't need people like us there. I doubt they are booked up every weekend, because this weekend (4th of July weekend) they had 20 sites open on Sunday night. We were told by the manager that it was for the child's safety not to let them ride their battery operated four wheelers. In that case it is not safe for them to ride their bikes either, because they can ride out in front of a car with a bike just like a battery operated toy. I can understand that if you are not watching your children it is a hazard. But my nephew was riding behind his camper on the grass with four adults supervising him. They had many upset children that couldn't ride their battery operated vehicles. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We only spent the night here while traveling cross country. The pads are all concrete with cable tv. The campground looks very new. Clean, secure and close to interstate (but far enough to not hear it) makes this campground a place to stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park has the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. We experienced a mechanical problem with our MotorCoach and the Staff went above and beyond to try and help. They constantly checked to see if we needed anything and oftened stopped by just to visit. A very clean pool, clean and well maintained park. We're looking forward to a return trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean park nice people running the camp ground very clean campground site, the camp sites are a little close together but a nice lake and pool play ground for kids and some activities planed. Stayed there in August in a travel trailer and will plan another trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground is very well managed. I would have to give management a 10. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Although the sites were very level and clean, they were too close together. The pool was too small for the number of sites. There is absolutely no shade. It's a nice commercial campground. I thought the nightly rate was a little too expensive considering there is no cable hookup. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very clean place. There isn't much shade. The sites were paved and leveled. The owners were nice. We camped Easter weekend, loved the planned activies all weekend. Nice large pond to fish. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very, very clean campground, friendly staff, phone & cable not yet available. Has WiFi. Not much shade but beautiful place overall with stocked 17 acre lake. All concrete streets and pads. Lots of activities for children and adults. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Allows Passport America Sun-Thurs; concrete interior roads and pads, grass between sites, level sites, bordering small lake which is clean. Daily garbage pickup at site and dumpster available. Pleasant/friendly employees and park appears to be well managed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
