Site 4 has great views but not level side to side for our 35 5th wheel (can only park parallel to the road) but we managed. It also sits close to the road but otherwise a great stay for a few days.

We love the lake access at this campground and the campground hosts were warm, friendly and very helpful! We love spending our family camp trips at the Prosser Lakeside campground!!!

The scenery was beautiful but the campers there the weekend we visited were too noisy riding their dirt bikes, moving their vehicles around and late night partying. The camp sites were close to one another, offering little privacy. The only great thing was the camp hosts, John and Kim. They were awesome in every way. I would not want to camp there again unless it's off season as the location is very nice.

Well site #37 is very dusty. There is no gravel as stated. Also, there was no camp host or firewood signage that I could see driving in. Looks like other campers brought their own wood. Otherwise, nice place to stay. The sites are very large and campsite was very quiet at 10 pm

Lovely camp host Kim was welcoming and attentive to our needs.

Most of the campsites are on the side of a hill with no level spot for your trailer takes lotta blocks to get a level and then a big jump to get in and out of the trailer It was very clean the Campos did everything she could to make it a happy stay

What a great campsite! Right on the water. Super close to Truckee, CA.
@ToddT6939164 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #24
Great spot and nice campground
@JenniferK63850 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #35
Nice campsite, very friendly campsite host that provided wood and water. The main issue was no water, but we managed fine. Our camp spot was away from the crowd, felt private. Great little mountain bike trails, even goos for a novice. Close to town. Will come back!
@TomO6022779 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #13
A great campground the camp hosts Kim and John are fantastic and worked tirelessly to keep the campgrounds and restrooms very clean. A mellow place to unwind
@ROBINF6756651 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #26
Lakeside at Prosser Reservoir is our favorite local camping spot. Our camp hosts were absolutely phenomenal.
@KevinC5577695 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #22

@SusanE1418075 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #28
Our site was nice and close to the water! We enjoyed our stay.
@DonnaPB070BFAC · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #37
We really enjoyed our time at Lakeside. We have been coming here for over 30 years and its nice to see that it hasnt changed much. The facilities are always kept clean and the campgrounds are free of debris making it easy to pull in and set up camp quickly.
@MikeR7257230 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #18
Our campsite was flooded, but the really nice hosts accommodated us elsewhere. Prior notice would have been nice. Still no water at the campground and the main road hasnt seen any maintenance in years. But still a great place to camp!
@NonaP8487287 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #20
I have stayed there every summer for several years. I was glad my campsite wast one of the ones under water- The reservoir can get pretty high. I loved that tho- as many campsites were not accessible, I could walk my dogs along the waters edge, let the swim on extended leashes, & not bother anyone. I just Iive within 40 miles of this campground & its one of my very favorites!
@AmandaW2167129 · Camped on Jun 4, 2025 at Campsite #28
We arrived to find someone else in our spot. Camp host was VERY friendly, HOWEVER she stated "I can't make them move". Okay so that means I can just book any site then once I get there decide to pick a better site even though it's reserved? What a terrible policy. We specifically booked a waterfront site weeks in advance but the rude campers who were supposed to be at site 26 on 6/4 took our spot (according to the host) and they refused to move when confronted by me. The camp host should have made them move, but instead we were offered an alternative site with tons of bushes and no waterfront access. Ended up leaving at 7am the next day and going somewhere else. I have reached out for a refund, waiting to hear back...

Had a great time. Camp hosts were great, very friendly and accommodating. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Cell reception was great-Verizon. Experienced a fantastic lightning storm in the evening and saw a variety of animal species, bald eagles, pelicans, geese, ducks and herons. Great Lake for Kayaking and fishing.
@PatsyI567A467B · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #19
Large sites and many waterfront sites in May/June. Water will be receding soon. Nice friendly Hosts. Sites were flooded but they managed to get everyone in good alternative spots. Beautiful and quiet campground. Clean. Kim is really nice!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
