Lakeside Chautauqua - A Most Unique Camping Experience!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2019
- Come with us to the Lake Erie shoreline in Ohio and experience Chautauqua Lakeside, a 143-year-old gated summer community that began as a campground and still is one today - along with hundreds of charming cottages, recreational, spiritual, educational and entertainment activities.
Our experience was very positive but it got us thinking and wondering what other RVers think of such a place, with lots of organized activities but plenty of space and time for relaxation.
They have a 7 year wait for a seasonal spot there and that got us wondering about how many RVers would like a seasonal spot in an RV park or development. They also have overnight spots available. but reservations are needed.

Lakeside is my all time favorite place. It is just so peaceful and I’m always grateful for any amount of time I can be there.❤
This is great to watch. We go to Lakeside Ohio every year.
Good job on the video. I've been vacationing at Lakeside for almost 50 years staying in the cottages until my wife and I bought a motorhome and since the summer of 2015 we've been staying in the campground sometimes 3 times a year. One of our favorite things to do is going to the Hoover Auditorium and seeing Mike Albert perform as Elvis. Thanks for another great video. 👍
Oh my goodness, two of the great Fifth Dinensions!! Billy Davis and Marilyn McCoo 🥰
We met them earlier in the day as they were walking the streets exploring Lakeside. Such warm, friendly folks. They've been married over 50 years and in show business, that's amazing. Both are well into their 70's now and perform on stage with energy and voices so strong and clear they shook the rafters. We so enjoyed them.
We've gone to Lakeside annually for nearly 17 years now. We compare it to Mayberry. It's something you have to experience to understand...and why you might cry when you have to leave. it's the most relaxing vacation that at the same time has activities from early morning to bedtime. You park and don't get back in your car for a week. It's a kids' dream vacation come true. If you go don't miss: Patio donuts (beat Duck donuts hands-down), climb on the rocks, Sloopy's pizza, a walk down the lakefront, bike and bike and bike, play shuffleboard as much as you can, try the new pickleball courts, stop or two or three at Marilyns (kids dream candy shop etc), and don't miss the shows at Hoover Auditorium.
We visited in my childhood. It has changed quite a bit, but the cottages look the same. Glad to see there is still a symphony in August. And the peaches!!! Mmmm.
I wish life could be like that everywhere.
You guys are the best at showing us these wonderful and beautiful, relaxing places to visit. So many awesome places to visit right here in the United States.
I am familar with the program ... community at Lake Chautauqua in western NY (the original Chautauqua, I believe) but not Lakeside Chautauqua in Ohio. The appearance .... and 'the feel' seem similar. They seem to take you back you to a simpler, more enlightening time. I always.felt I was in a.different time and place when at Lake Chautauqua. Beautiful. I'm going to look into Lakeside for next year. Nice to go to someplace new ☺
Excellent video. 👍
Thanks, Christine! We visited the New York Chautauqua many years ago and were impressed. But Lakeside feels a little more intimate and accessible.
@@RVLifestyle Yes, I like the acessibility. Better then Chautauqua Lake in NY.
I'm having knee surgery next month (water aerobics is part of my rehab plan) but hope to visit Lakeside in 2020 👍
Absolutely love this video! You two are really taking these trips and producing award winning documentaries for us all to learn about. I watched late last night and fell fast asleep dreaming about being there. :)
Thanks for visiting and producing the video.
Three days is not long enough for Lakeside 😊.
Awesome video! Next time you are in the area...you may want to visit the Marblehead Lighthouse. It's the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes-since 1822! It is right up the road from Lakeside.
Now I have another place to visit on my list! thanks for taking the time to create this Mike and Jennifer -- much appreciated
Thanks Phyllis!!!!! It's time for you to get that RV!
It relaxed me just watching it,......very nice video!
Great overview of a very special place.
We love Lakeside! We took our son and daughter in law there for a long weekend when they came from Oregon for a visit. Being architects they loved seeing the cottages and enjoyed the Lakeside tranquility. Celebrated our anniversary there this year with dinner at the Hotel and program at Hoover! Do hope Jennifer recovered from the reflexology massage, forgive me but I chuckled! Glad you enjoyed your visit.
She says she's ready for another session :-)
Wow that place was beautiful and so much to do and look at. Thanks for the Virtual trip looks like fun.
It reminded me of a trip I took to 1000 Islands NY. Stayed in the Alexandria Bay area check it out if you are ever up there!
Oh! Great video, you covered it all I think, beautiful, thank you!
it is amazing how clear the great lakes are.
unfortunately this area of lake erie is kind of the armpit :( it gets gross
Wow, what a beautiful place! A little oasis from the real world. All that food and produce looked amazing. And 2/5 of the 5th Dimension, too. Awesome!
Awesome , thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing watching from Las Vegas Nevada
I absolutely, absurdly love you two!! Keep doing these videos!
Great Video. Thank You very much.
Quite a place!
Great video!
Amazing episode, very professional like everything you do!
I’m ashamed to say that I live about an hour and a half away from there and I’ve never been there. But I plan on making a weekend trip up there now. Thank you for a great video.
david stallard It's amazing what's right in our own back yard and we have never gone there. We have so many beautiful places close to us that I've met so many people that had no clue that they are there. I hope you go and enjoy this place.
Nice
Just subscribed to your nice channel. I couldn't RV full time for myself so I enjoy seeing the lifestyle and places other's provide.
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful and unique place . Thanks for the tour . How did you find it ?
💯👍👍
Love your videos! How do you like your Leisure Van? Pros & cons? Expensive repairs? We are looking at the Unity twin model.
We love it. We answer that question a lot in our Ask Us Anything live videos here.. Watch the most recent and we go into details...
Oh! My! I love it. Thank you so much for sharing your visit to this wonderful place. I have just lengthened my bucket list. One question, is it animal friendly? We have 2 mini Schnauzers that travel with us everywhere.
Yes we are pet friendly!!
Yes, they are very animal friendly!
I’m curious about the effort involved with your videos, and I will ask you a couple questions based on this 17 minute...and good looking...video.
How long does it take you to edit and process for uploading to your channel?
How much video do you need to sort through to reach your final version?
With all the other tasks you perform, what has made video editing quicker for you?
Thank you so much. We met in Glacier last summer and if I’d known anything about your efforts I’d have asked you in person!
If I owned an ebime I would want to know how far I needed to go to see downtown. I’ve been inToledo in Feb and it’s not fun.
Love this area - are there any other places to RV since the waitlist is so long?
Karla Kimerer East Harbor State Park campground is nearby in addition to the private campgrounds. Search for Lakeside-Marblehead, OH location. I don't know if they missed it or just didn't film it, but the Marblehead lighthouse is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes-since 1822! It's just down the road from Lakeside.
They have short term overnight spots for a few days...just call and get a reservation
Looks fabulous! How many days did you stay?
alli J they mention “3 days” towards the end of the vid. 🙂
Three
Hope you'll come to WNY to the Original Chautauqua Institute. In fact, I was not aware of Lakeside!
We visited the original some years back, in pre-RUclips days. It was very nice.
Kathryn B do they have camping in NY?
alli J the Original Chautauqua has campgrounds off-site. I have camped there several years in my class C and went to the main grounds daily. Amazing place! We love it!
