Guest Reviews

gordonrJ7638SF (8/5): Comfortable Beachfront - A large, well-equipped suite with a full kitchen and a large balcony. There is a large sandy beach and an outdoor hot tub.
VanessaK1866 (10/5): Family Camping - Very nice well maintained campground with a beautiful private beach area. The campsites are close together, but the campground is very quiet at night. This is a great family vacation campground with various activities for the family. This is a Non Smoking campground but there is a designated smoking area in the campground. No fire pits and propane fires are to be put out at 11 pm. Nice washrooms and laundry area. The staff is friendly and helpful. Refrigerators are also available for rent at the campsites.
760kseniap (2/5): Don’t stay there ! - Good luck getting your deposit back ! Don’t stay there for the winter , these people will snoop and spy on you until they have enough evidence to kick you out so they can have your deposit , they kept 2 weeks of rent and my deposit ! They knocked on my door early in the morning while I was still in bed recovering from a flu , claiming that I haven’t been to work lately ( like it’s any of their business ) I pay the rent , claiming that I was a fire hazard meanwhile it’s nearly impossible to cook in those tiny kitchens without the fire alarm going off , they blamed me for a bunch of stuff , created the story how I am a fire hazard and without any notice and in the middle of winter they kicked me out on the street without giving me my deposit ., this is against the law and completely ridiculous! Don’t stay there ! The place may look beautiful but people that run it are snoopers ( small place , not much else to do , the only form entertainment is spying on single women and kicking them out ! What I don’t get is they are a bunch of women too yet they had no problem with My grandfather kicking me out , taking my money I could have used for future rent and stealing 2 more weeks of rent from me without any whatsoever warning kicked me out on the street in the middle of winter . They went inside my room without me being there and took what they thought were criminal photos and I still to this day have no clue what it was , Shawna said something about drugs but even if it was drugs ! At this present moment half the people that live there use meth and crack ! But it’s ok for them to stay as long as they pay the rent ?!!?? Really , no sense what so ever ! Don’t stay there , it’s so noisy , you can hear your neighbours farting ! It’s also very eerie , reminds me of a horror movie plot . Beautiful place ruined by greed ! Good people would have fixed the fire hazard problem instead of blaming it on me and let me stay or at least give me the money so I can afford to go someplace else but no , they just figured to rob me completely and throw me out ! Fancy?
michaeldZ7543TM (10/5): Summer camping - Great improvements with the adding of pws sites. Electric has been upgraded. Sites for camping are more level. Always great staff on hand. The place is wonderful to stay at, quiet and the lake is great for activities. Laundry and washroom facilities are fantastic and well kept. Wifi works well when we needed to access it for business as well.
A5322KPkathyk (6/5): Nice, but loud - The resort is nice, but loud late into the night. They say it’s a relaxing and quiet time but they allow late music into the night. They also have an 11 o’clock quiet time but after telling people to quiet down, they don’t follow up and the parties just start up again. If partying is your scene, it’s a great time, but if you have little ones, skip it.
E101ZUstephanieh (4/5): Entitled long time users and poor management - We have stayed at Lakeside Resort for 5 years. The location is excellent, there is so much to do in the area. But the resort itself is terrible. You are packed into very small spaces. The staff are great and try to do their best, but during our last stay, the men's washroom was plugged for several days. My husband finally went and unclogged it himself. We had disrespectful neighbors that used part of our campsite, their pull out went onto our site, making the space even smaller, and their wash water flooded our site every time they had an outdoor shower, on our site. Their excuse " we have been here for 20 years,...". We had to move our tent to avoid flooding. Management did nothing to remedy the situation, and actually told us to "live with it". After Management came to us and berated us for "not getting along", we will not be back.
747georginas (10/5): Wonderful Family Reunion - Had the most wonderful time at Lakeside with a family reunion in early October. Sally and her staff couldn't have been more accommodating. We all were more than comfortable in our lake view rooms and the setting couldn't have been more ideal. THANKS AGAIN, as alway, Lakeside you're the best.
SunnyOkan (10/5): Great get away - Our family got together for a reunion and holiday at Lakeside Resort. Our unit was fully equipped , perfect size and very clean. Family enjoyed time on the lake in their kayaks, golfing nearby and biking through the quiet neighbourhood. Lake Tuc-el-unit makes for an idyllic setting and the Lakeside Resort made our family getaway a perfect vacation. We are already making plans for next year !
snagel7 (10/5): Beautiful Spot for Everyone - I have been camping at the Lakeside resort every summer since I was a young child. It is my favourite holiday and the one I most look forward to every year. This year I stayed in a motel with my young son and it was also a great experience as we had more amenities and comfort while travelling with a baby. The staff are always friendly, it is very clean and the beach is sandy and welcoming. What more could you ask for?
jallesia (10/5): Never missed a year! - If the fact that I haven't missed a year since I was born isn't a review, I don't know what is. I came here as a kid with my family, and I continue to come back as an adult because this place manages to feel like a home away from home. Families are not only welcome, but taken care of. Gorgeous lake, and beach, comfort-style amenities like showers, flush toilets, and a store, but enough of that "nature feel" surrounded by trees, warm breeze and time spent barefoot on grass and sand to feel like you're getting that re-charge that mother nature intended. Close proximity to neighbours and quiet time at 11 gives that community feel and the rest you probably need! I look forward to coming back each year!
216barbr (10/5): Our Longtime Family Favorite - My extended family and I have stayed at The Lakeside Resort many, many times since 1986 - in tents, cabanas, full hook-up sites and the motel. One of my sons, now grown with his own children, referred to it as his 'happiest place on earth' when he was little. Things have not changed. Four generations of our family have enjoyed all that this amazing, family-oriented resort has to offer. Most recently, we visited in June 2021 with an extended family group of 28 and were not disappointed. The grounds were green and groomed, the washroom facilities clean and in working order, and pandemic requirements were addressed with a level of care and attention that left us feeling comfortable and welcome. Whether touring local wineries, playing a round of golf at Fairview, organizing a bocce tournament, planning a camping potluck dinner, or spending a lazy afternoon at the beach....we look forward to our same-time-next-year visit.
138patsyt (10/5): Great place for Family Vacation - My family had a recent reunion vacation at the Lakeside Resort where some of us stayed in the motel, some in the campground, and in the cabanas. During these unprecedented times of COVID, Lakeside resort staff's top priority was to ensure our safety and well-being with extra cleaning and safety protocols put into place. I was not concerned at any time for my family or myself. As in the previous stays, the staff are helpful and professional and they go above and beyond. A great place for a family vacation. "Never Disappointed".
Lisajeannem (10/5): Excellent experience - Stayed in one of the kitchenette suites. It was immaculately clean and very comfortable. We loved having our room looking over the beach and green grass. Everything was well maintained and we found the staff friendly and approachable. Can’t wait to come back
StephSielmann (10/5): Little slice of heaven - My husband and I have visited the resort many times. Each time we do we are blown away by the beauty of the property. We have stayed in the hotel, cabanas and camped and loved all three. If you're looking for a great getaway for you and your family, this is it!
GG-GraySni (10/5): Wonderful Place to Stay - Perect in every way! - Have stayed at Lakeside for numerous years. Cozy, clean and welcoming rooms and extremely well run camp sites. Generations of families have kept Lakeside as part of their family traditions and we can see why. The care of the owners and staff is always on point. Very disappointed with bad reviews, obviously some people just want to cause trouble, not sure why, but totally disagree with poor reviews.
KimB214 (6/5): Staff not very accommodating or friendly! - We booked for 2 nights sites are really close but ok we get there and i have a small chev spark there are white lines to mark the sites width so my car being small fit in with the truck that we are hauling our trailer with. Staff informs me that i cannot park on the site i asked why as i am in the white lines doesnt matter its policy normally ok but we are traveling and i have a cargo bag on the top of my car so its easy access to get in it they informed me that i have to park on the street. The staff is very unfriendly and condescending when i inquired if there was additional parking somewhere the response i got was that is the rule and everyone follows it. I guess customer service means nothing the fact that the car fit and we paid for the site is ridiculous was thinking about a week here but nope 2nights and we are moving onto somewhere a little more friendly and based on customer service!!
tollman62 (4/5): RV trailer - Very disappointed that the site was not cleaned for us, took a few buckets of soapy water to clean tables. The site says “No pets” and the sign on the way in says “No pets”, guess the owners don’t know about that rule. There were at least 5 dogs beside us and the barked most the day and early evening, one was a hound!
Verified traveler (8/5): - Your view of the lake is beautiful! A great place to go for a walk.
michellesX8010WJ (10/5): highly recommend - beautiful scerene setting, pleasant staff and clean room. Close to all ameneties and the view is just spectacular. If you want a quiet getaway with a view this is the place to come to and the price is very reasonable
Verified traveler (4/5): - The check in left much to be desired as I had to stand in the cold wind for an exceptional length of time, as I have COPD, this is not pleasurable. Having to climb a rather long flight of stairs in the cold with a north wind blowing was extremely difficult, it took me almost 10 minutes to get from my car to the room. Considering that almost every ground floor was empty, not happy. THe walls are paper thin, so privacy is not there.
mrq_12 (4/5): Rules don't mean a thing... - As you enter this campsite/park, the first thing you see is a sign that says NO PETS. "Great" I thought. We aren't dog haters, but we don't travel 4 hours so that we can listen to someone's dog bark. There are a few camping spots in the OKanagan that don't allow dogs, so we thought this might be another one of them. As we are signing in...there are more posted rules: "No Dogs on beach"...OK, we thought that pets weren't allowed but whatever. "Absolutely no mats on grass, let's keep it green"...Makes sense. ...and a few other typical rules that you'd find at any campsite. When we are escorted to our site, we find that we are packed in like sardines, with your neighbour literally within spitting distance...and there are dogs on the beach....and mats all over the grass, as well as a dozen or so trailers...all over the "green". So why post rules if NONE of them are enforced? The campground borders a public park and there are people walking past your site all day long. Our site only had 15 Amp power, so we couldn't run the AC. My complaint is with the CAMPING/RV section, I don't know what the hotel is like...
Kelly (8/5): Happy - Late, late mid-winter arrival. Proper arrangements were made for my arrival. Clean and quiet room.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, quiet neighbourhood. Friendly staff. Modern enough.
MarjorieRoseH (10/5): Great hotel - Room, food, service ALL great.. Hope to visit again when we go for our 2019 winery tour. Looking forward to our next visit. Recommend it highly. Worth every penny!!! Well worth a return trip. Lots of lovely places to enjoy.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Always a nice place to stay. Good location, clean rooms.
thewixter (8/5): Lakeside at Lake Okenagen - We have stayed at this resort several times over the past many years, including an extremely memorable stay on 9/11/2001. It has always been one of our favorite places to stay when traveling north up Hwy 97 from Oregon into BC. We had not been to Penticton for a few years and I was a little concerned on this particular trip after reading a few of the comments on TripAdvisor that suggested it had lost some of it's allure. However, after our recent stay I am pleased to recommend the Lakeside to anyone who is planning a trip to the Okenagen and Penticton. While the rooms are slightly worn, they have been upgraded and well furnished. The view of the lake from the lake side rooms is amazing. The only negative we found was that the lip on the glider leading out to the lanai is at such a height and angle that it could be a real tripping hazard and could present a real danger to elderly or physically challenged guests.
altun13 (6/5): Good summer spot - We stayed for a couple of nights and did wine tours in the area in Sep. and it is perfectly located for that. However the place does camping, RV's and a motel so I can only comment on the Motel part. To me it was well worn and had that old motel odor to it. I know this is a lakeside place and that you must expect that but this was just OK, and not better than that. It is a beautiful setting on the lake and as an RV stay it would be very good I am sure.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Stay was OK but difficult to find location. No lighted sign at entrance
Verified traveler (6/5): Nice,older hotel right on the beach. - More attention has to be paid to room bookings. Larger glasses in rooms for mixing drinks would be appreciated.
Del (8/5): - We arrived in the middle of a snow storm. Thank goodness we were not there to use the beach which is right on your doorstep or enjoy the wonderful view across the lake. We were in town for a family function during the 'off season' and were pleased with our experience at Lakeside.
Dan (10/5): PEACEFUL GETAWAY NESTLED ON A SERENE LAKE!.. - You’re greeted at the Lakeside Resort office by the delightful Dawn. Once booked in...make your way to a room with a gorgeous view of a serene lake nestled amongst towering mountains. Rarely, have I been more relaxed at any accommodation. Book early for 2018 as I can see this place being quite popular in every season.
Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed in the quiet season, it was lovely. Right on the lake, with a hot tub on the grounds. Clean and comfortable, close to great wineries!
Wendy (8/5): best motel location in Oliver, friendly staff - We enjoyed two restful nights, watching the sunset on the lake before the short drive to restaurants for dinner
Verified traveler (8/5): Great value - Great spot. Pretty, quiet and convenient.
Verified traveler (2/5): The lady that works or owns has a bad attitude. - I tried to let them know that I was checking out. Wanted to give her the key but since I woke her up early. She was unpleasant. If they didnt want to be bother, they should have a drop box. No, i would not stay at this place again nor recommend anyone. Place is ok, nothing great. To me, attitude is everything.
Wendy (8/5): Best location in Oliver!! - Excellent customer service and great location, right on the lake and only minutes to town.
Verified traveler (6/5): disappointing - no amenities no night staff on duty difficult to locate room basic but clean
Arlene (8/5): Very quiet and relaxing. - Nice location. Staff very friendly. Beds were comfortable and room was clean. Would recommend this resort to friends and family.
Lorna (4/5): Aged and tired! - The room we had was quite large but in need of some updating in the bathroom. It looked very used.
Verified traveler (6/5): Quiet - Hotel was fine for a night. Clean and very quiet. Nothing special..nothing awful either!
wendy (8/5): good view - Good view! Convient to cook by myself. Has a play ground for kids. Fit for all family to live.
Albert (8/5): Great Motel - Our stay was really good. Place was a bit old but clean. The location was backing onto a lake. Would be a vey good place in the summer.
