Lake Aire RV Park

Stayed at Lake Aire for 2 days in January 26. On the positive side, the staff in the office was very friendly. Check in was very easy. They can't help the weather, which was rainy. However, their roads are not gravel, they are mostly dirt with a little gravel on top. Rain + dirt = mud. The roads in and out of the campground was simply pothole strewn mud.

They can't help the weather, which was rainy. However, their roads are not gravel, they are mostly dirt with a little gravel on top. Rain + dirt = mud. The roads in and out of the campground was simply pothole strewn mud. We registered for two days with our small Class C. We don't tow, so we take our coach to go sightseeing but leave our outside equipment at the campsite so it's clear someone is staying there. When we returned at 4:45 after our day out, all of our equipment was gone.....no note, and the office was not aware it was missing. The Attendant knew we were registered for 2 days and suggested that "maybe" an employee picked it all up to insure no one took our stuff. He had already gone home but when called said he had picked it up and would bring it back. So I was left with the question....is theft in their campground so bad they have to take these measures to protect campers stuff? If so, why don't they put that in their check in packet or on their website....."lock up your stuff". If theft is not a problem, then why did their employee take our equipment without leaving a note or advising the office Attendant who knew we were still there??? He may have been well intentioned, but the manner in which this was handled made me suspicious. It's in a great location to visit Charleston but I left with a less than positive vibes about the campground.

This campground could be really great but there is a big issue with maintenance. If you use one of the new, paved pull thru sites it’s probably fine but the older RV sites are in need of gravel and grading to address soggy ground. The main bathhouse was ok.

This campground could be really great but there is a big issue with maintenance. If you use one of the new, paved pull thru sites it’s probably fine but the older RV sites are in need of gravel and grading to address soggy ground. The main bathhouse was ok. It’s dated but felt pretty clean. The other bathroom building had a broken toilet. The new pavilion and playground are very nice but the old playground is completely dilapidated and super dangerous. It needs to be removed. Our stay was fine but there were always little issues like the trash not being collected for several days, the ice machine was out of order as was the propane refill station and the change machine and soap dispenser in the laundry room. The hose at the dump station had a big hole in it and there isn’t any WiFi unless you’re near the bathhouse. I recognize running a campground is a lot of work but surely the owners can check and empty the thrash each day and deal with small repairs like the hose as they arise and not wait for a guests to complain. There are also a good number of ratty RVs and some long term guest sites that are pretty trashy. I feel that’s pretty common amongst RV campgrounds. Most are tucked away on one row. On the plus side, the older sites are scenic (but very close to water) and the campground located near stores and restaurants but feels tucked away. The heaters on the bathrooms were nice during cold nights. There is some recurring noise from planes and trains but it didn’t bother us much. Guests seemed nice and most followed the 4.7mph speed limit. All in all I’d say the place is adequate. It has lots of potential and could be really nice with proper maintenance. If you go, manage your expectations.
