Lakeside Casino & RV Park sits right on the water in a part of the country that doesn't get nearly enough attention for its gaming and hospitality scene. What started as a modest riverboat operation has grown into this really welcoming destination where you'll see everythng from serious poker players to families just looking for a weekend getaway with their RVs parked right on the grounds. The casino has this genuine small-town charm that the bigger Vegas-style places just can't replicate—your neighbors here are regulars who actually know the staff by name. The lakeside location means you're getting natural beauty along with your slots and tables, which is honestly pretty unique for this region. The whole community rallied behind this place when it first opened, and that local support really shaped what it's become over the decades.
From its founding in 1993 to today, Lakeside Casino & RV Park has grown into one of the region's most trusted gaming and entertainment destinations.
Grand Opening
The casino launched on a crisp autumn morning when Don Hartley and his business partner cut the ribbon in front of what was honestly a pretty modest building—nothing fancy, just 2,400 square feet of pure gaming potential. The local paper ran a big story about how this would bring jobs to the area, and people showed up in droves that first weekend, some driving hours just to be part of opening day. They started with maybe 150 slot machines, six blackjack tables, and a small poker room that became an instant hub for regulars. The building itself was this converted lakefront warehouse with exposed beams and big windows overlooking the water—it had character from day one. That original crowd included fishermen, retirees, and anyone in the surrounding counties who wanted gaming without the hassle of traveling to bigger destinations.
RV Park Expansion & New Gaming Floor
By the early 2000s, the casino realized that people wanted to stay longer, so they built out a dedicated RV park with 85 full-hookup sites—spaces were huge compared to other parks in the region, and they actually maintained them better than places three times the size. The gaming floor got a major expansion too, doubling in size with new slot machines and adtional poker tables that brought in the serious tournament players. The restaurant they added that year became a real gathering spot for locals; it's still got that same menu of comfort food that people drove back for years later. Revenue jumped significantly after this expansion, and you could feel the shift in the community—people started seeing Lakeside as a legit destination, not just a quick drive-by stop. The RV park especially changed the dynamic, because folks would stay four or five days instead of four or five hours.
Renovation & Modernization Initiative
The economic downturn hit hard, but instead of cutting back, management made this bold choice to renovate the entire facility with new carpeting, fresh paint, and upgraded gaming technology—they clearly believed in the future even when things looked uncertain. They brought in 120 new slot machines with the latest software, completely remodeled the poker room with better lighting and profesional-grade tables, and honestly, it felt like stepping into a different place. The renovation took about six months and was handled really thoughtfully—they kept the casino open during most of it, which annoyed some people but earned loyalty from others who appreciated the commitment. The bar area got a real upgrade too, with new video poker stations and a bigger selection of drinks that attracted a younger crowd without alienating the folks who'd been coming since day one. By 2010, even with the recession in full swing, Lakeside was reporting their strongest year in terms of repeat visitors.
Major Renovation & Community Programs
Last couple years, they've invested seriusly into bringing the place into 2020s standards—new LED lighting throughout, completely modernized HVAC systems that actually keep the place comfortable year-round, and a fresh coat of exterior paint that makes the building look sharp from the road again. They also expanded the RV park to 125 sites with upgraded amenities and honestly, that's become their biggest draw for extended stays; some people literally winter there now. The casino added sports betting terminals and updated their poker room with new seating and streaming capability for tournaments, which has brought in folks who probably wouldn't have shown up five years ago. What really impressed me was their commitment to local hiring—they ran job training programs through the county and made a point of employing people from the surrounding communities rather than importing staff from elsewhere. The restaurant expanded too, and they started doing community events like charity poker nights that actually donate proceeds to local schools and the volunteer fire department.

Progressive Slot

I was just killing time on my lunch break from work, figured I'd throw fifty bucks at the machine while I waited for my friend to show up. I wasn't even paying close attention—just kind of zoned out, you know? Then suddenly the whole thing went crazy with lights and bells. My hands started shaking so bad I could barely read the screen. I just kept saynig 'No way, no way' over and over. I'm using half to finally fix up the house and the other half goes straight to my kid's college fund.

I came up to the casino with my brother for his birthday weekend. We were at the blackjack table maybe two hours when I got on this increaible run—couldn't lose. The dealer kept busting and I kept doubling down at the right times. I remember my brother yelling 'That's it!' after my fifth win in a row. The pit boss came over to watch, which made me nervous, but I just stayed calm and kept playing. I'm paying off my truck and taking the family on a real vacation for once.

Poker Tournament
$215,000
I'd been playing poker seriously for about two years, entered the tournament almost on a whim. I was down to the final three and running on pure adrenaline and coffee. Got pocket aces in the semifinal hand and my opponent went all in—I felt like my heart stopped for three seconds. When I won that hand, I actually stood up and took a lap around the room because I couldn't sit still. I used some to start my own business and invested the rest for retirement.

Roulette

My mom and I were having a girls' weekend at the casino, just wanted to relax and have some fun. I wasn't being strategic or anything—just playing numbers that meant something to me. I hit my daughter's birthday number and I started crying right there at the table. The people around us were cheering and high-fiving me, which was weird but also kind of amazing. I'm taking my mom on the trip to Europe she's always talked about.

Buffalo Gold Slot
$63,750
I played that same machine every time I came to the casino for like six months with nothing major. One Saturday night I decided it was my last hundred bucks for the year. Hit the bonus feature and the symbols just lined up perfectly. I remember grabbing my wife's arm so hard she asked if I was okay. We're doing our kitchen renovation we've been putting off and taking a nice honeymoon.

Three Card Poker
$38,400
I'm not usually a table game person, but I was watching some guys play and the dealer invited me to sit down. Within three hands I hit the straight flush bonus—my first time ever seeing one in person. I was so shocked I didn't even celebrate at first, just kind of stared at my cards. The table erupted and I'm pretty sure I turned red. I'm using it to finally get my dental work done and buying a new truck.
