Lake Waldena Resort

 We weren't expecting a lot when we pulled in. You pass the lots with the seasonal campers & mobile homes- some were nicely kept & others not so much.

 We found the office & lake area & it's great! The boats & kayaks are free for campers. You just have to sign one out at the office. 

  They have a large pavilion & 2 wooden docks- one with a covered seating area. Swimming is in the lake & there were some people doing that during our stay.

 Fishing was fair according to my fisherman. The grounds are very nice & so is Lake Waldena!  

People that are seasonal are very friendly. Aside from karaoke night at the pavilion Saturday night(I think it was a party for a seasonal who was leaving the next day) it was very quiet. 

   We had site 3, which is labeled as a prime site. We had a concrete pad, but the other sites did not. There were 4 sites with water & electric only. Site 1 looked like a nice tent site. 18 sites which I think are for temporary campers. The rest are permanent camper sites. Site 1-13 had a view of a marshy area with the lake beyond. 

  We had sandhill cranes roaming around the campground who visited once in a while. The site itself was wonderful! We enjoyed the view & sunset every night. The sites aren't too close, but side by side with no foliage between. Traffic noise from Hwy 40 wasn't noticeable.

The reason only 4 stars? The bathrooms were awful! They need an update, a paint job, something. A deep clean would be good too. I would rank the cleanliness as state park clean, which is sketchy clean. Put in a new bathhouse & this campground would be stellar!

This is a quiet little park that sits around a lake with some woods.

Let’s see, the Wifi is poor, but we still were able to stream our favorite show at night. Our dog enjoyed all they left behind toys at the park.

Everyone is really friendly. If you decide to stay here, check out Harry’s Seafood bar and grille.

We camped here many times in the 80-90’s when our girls were young, we always enjoyed it there. This was our first time back since then, our oldest wanted a birthday camping weekend there, she’s in her 30’s now. We still enjoyed our time there and feel the sites while a little closer together than our memories, were improved from our visits before.

This was an amazing experience! The staff was extremely helpful and the sites were clean and well maintained.

Amazing staff and owners, free to use kayaks and water sports, my son learned how to ride a bicycle for the first time today with one of their bicycles! The lake was really a joy to swim on, the kids were in it all day. Paved roads and small store for all your needs. Definitely a great place to go with your RV.

I personally do not like camping in slots like a deck of cards. Most of this place is permanent residents. They have a nice private beach and a small game room. We had a camper next to us who.was living there for a month and was nasty because he had his antenna on our site
