Lakeside, near Lake Texoma, is a solid spot for campers looking to enjoy some time by the water. With a mix of RV and tent sites, it caters to different camping styles, though you’ll want to keep in mind that some areas can get a bit overgrown, so a weed eater might come in handy.
The campground offers essential amenities like drinking water and electric hookups, making it convenient for those who prefer a little comfort while roughing it. Visitors have noted that the sites are generally well-spaced, allowing for a bit of privacy, which is always a plus when you’re trying to unwind. One camper mentioned, “Sites are asphalt and generally spaced apart so you are not right on top of each other.”
If you’re up for some exploration, there’s plenty to see around Lake Texoma. The area is great for hiking and enjoying the outdoors, and you can even take a stroll along the shoreline. Just be prepared for the occasional ant or two, as some campers have pointed out.
While the campground doesn’t allow fires, it does have picnic tables and restrooms, so you can still enjoy meals outdoors. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer stay, Lakeside offers a laid-back atmosphere perfect for family fun or a peaceful retreat.

Overview
Lakeside Campground is located on Lake Texoma in Oklahoma's Cross Timbers Region. The lake is said to be the "Playground of the Southwest," where outdoor activities like fishing, boating, hiking and hunting abound.
Recreation
Lake Texoma is a large reservoir with an excellent fishery and many access points. Boating, swimming, water skiing, hunting, birding and relaxing on the sandy beaches are the typical pursuits of most visitors. The lake is known as the "Striper Capital of the World," one of the few reservoirs in the nation where striped bass reproduce naturally. Other popular species include largemouth and smallmouth bass, white bass, hybrid striped bass, white crappie, black crappie, channel catfish and blue catfish. Also available is the scenic Cross Timbers hiking trail, a very popular trail that winds for 14 miles above the lake on rocky ledges and through blackjack woodland. Forty miles of equestrian trails surround the lake as well.
Natural Features
The campground is situated on the eastern side of Lake Texoma. Post and blackjack oaks forest the rolling hills of the region. Deer, turkey, bobcats, hawks, waterfowl and songbirds are abundant around the lake.
Nearby Attractions
The lake features two wildlife refuges, two state parks, and 23 commercial concession areas dedicated to the enjoyment of over six million visitors annually.
