ScoutWhat a wonderful campground! Bathrooms and showers are very nice, and kept clean. The campsites are nice and level. Well laid out, and numbered clearly. Reserving through the website is easy. What a spectacular view of the valley! I took a peek into one of the cabins - very nice. This place is a great value for the money.
ScoutThe community facilities are well kept and clean. Overall this site is beautiful and great for kids, we tried booking a spot by the lookout but unfortunately they only had electric hookups!
Either way the site we switched to was spacious and had two picnic tables. We will definitely be back!
GuideAlmost no shady sites. Large open field overlooking the river below which is visible if in camper or standing. Sites have fire ring & picnic table. Main road is blacktop sites level gravel. Good separation but open.
ScoutThis was good spot for the night, we could see animals from our spot. It was quiet, only one other RV here. They do have cute camper cabins . They have water, bathrooms and shower. Quick walk up the road was a golf course with restaurant. We would stay again
LegendLocated in the picturesque Coteau Des Prairies, Roy Lake State Park consists of two small units nestled on the northeast and northwest shores of Roy Lake.
95% of the state park is campground. There are a few tent sites, many RV sites, cabins, and a lodge suite (not sure on quantity) above the campground store/commons area. The store has some Roy Lake State Park branded items and some random foods, drinks, and camping tools. I wouldn’t put stock in them having exactly what you need/want — it’s very small. The commons area has giant picture windows overlooking the lake, a TV, comfy furniture, board games, a rotating pizza cooker, and a few other random things. There is also an outside seating area that overlooks the lake.
I stayed in the east unit, which is smaller and slightly calmer than the west unit. Each side has boat ramps, beaches (smaller on the east side), cabins, and playground.
Monday through Thursday morning in June, it was very quiet, with very few other campers. It was amazing. On Thursday, people started rushing in like a flash flood. It filled up almost completely and things got a bit noisier, but it was still quiet during quiet hours. I left on Friday, so I can’t attest to weekend behavior.
The bathhouse was nice and pretty clean. Heated with free, untimed showers. Very nice, but a long walk from our site.
We stayed in tent site T6, which shares a space with T7. T7 has a nice lake access spot that we used (before campers came on Thursday) to put in our kayak, swim, and fish. T7 is a lot smaller than T6, but T6 doesn’t have its own beach access. For these sites you must park in the parking area, and walk to the site. For some extra steps, you are afforded some privacy and a more natury feel. The cattail-filled field in front of our site lit up with lightning bugs at dusk.
The campground has tons of mature native trees. There is a lot of lawn, but they don’t spray it with chemicals, which I appreciate. Be warned that this means this park (and others nearby, like Sica Hollow) will have thistles, so bring closed shoes for hikes. We saw turtles, snakes, squirrels, ground squirrels, deer, rabbits, pelicans, ducks, geese, seagulls, tons of other birds, fish, and more — just in this park.
Roy Lake was clear in June, though I didn’t get to paddle as much as I had planned due to wind. It’s a pretty decent size (3 sq miles) and just one of hundreds of lakes in the glacial lakes area. The whole coteau area was so beautiful. Definitely worth reading up on the geology of the area before coming.
There is a bit more hiking in the area than is listed on AllTrails. I’ll include a picture of the trail map for Roy Lake State Park, which you can find at the campground store (outside on the wall) and also in the SD GFP app. There is also some hiking at Sica Hollow SP, Pickerel Lake Rec Area, and Waubay National Wildlife Refuge (these trails are also not on AllTrails, a few miles and a pretty tall and scary observation tower).
Closest decent sized grocery store and other needs are in Sisseton, a half hour drive through very picturesque countryside.
Though surrounded by water, the mosquitoes were never bad. Look at weather for Lake City, not Sisseton, as the elevation and wind over the lake (on the east side) mean cooler weather. We experienced severe enough storm during our stay that we sheltered in our car. We felt safe that the bathhouse would be a sufficient tornado shelter in that event. After the storm there were straight line winds attempting to flatten our tent, but there were no limbs down in the park, which means they watch for, and clear, deadfall risks.
The cell service was as good as it can get. We were actually able to stream videos on it. Don’t count on getting firewood from the host at the east unit. Get it from a nearby town or possibly the store in the west unit (though I don’t know its hours).
We stayed at this park while my son was attending a day camp in Sisseton. I will pick this campground again if he chooses to attend the camp in the future.

Cabin camping options near Barry, Minnesota sit within the prairie landscape of western Minnesota, where summer temperatures average 75-85°F and winter lows regularly fall below freezing. Most cabin facilities operate seasonally from May through October, coinciding with peak fishing periods on regional lakes like Big Stone Lake and Pomme de Terre. The area features numerous small lakes formed by glacial retreat.
Fishing access from cabins: Glacial Lakes State Park Campground offers cabin accommodations with nearby fishing opportunities. One visitor noted, "The water in the lake is nice and clear. The swimming area isn't awesome, but I have seen much worse." The park maintains both standard and rustic cabins with proximity to fishing piers.
Water recreation: Tipsinah Mounds City Park provides cabin options with water access. A camper reported, "Public boat launch, sandy swimming beach, picnic shelters. WIFI is provided. There is a dump station, playground, nature trail, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, and a fish cleaning station. Great place to go kayaking!"
Prairie hiking: Cabins at Lac qui Parle Upper Campground provide access to prairie hiking trails. One visitor shared, "We spent two nights tent camping at the Upper Campground of Lac Qui Parle State Park in May 2022. This is a prairie setting, essentially a very large grassy field without trees or shrubs to provide privacy from neighbors or protection from winds."
Spacious sites: County Line Campground cabin sites offer ample room. As one camper noted, "This is a welcoming experience with hosts who are happy to make your stay comfortable. It is near a very small town and close to the Interstate (less than one mile)."
Lakefront views: Many cabins near Barry provide lake views. At Hartford Beach State Park Campground, a visitor observed, "There are 2 separate camp areas with 2 completely different types of sites. The sites near the lake are very wooded, a bit smaller and pretty uneven. The sites themselves are even but your canopy might be overhanging a slope."
Clean facilities: Cabin users consistently mention cleanliness at area campgrounds. A camper at Tipsinah Mounds reported, "Restroom and shower facilities onsite, some lakefront campsites and some that are not." Another noted, "Showers and bathrooms are clean. Front desk is amazing."
Seasonal availability: Most cabins near Barry operate on limited schedules. Lac qui Parle operates "mid May to late October," making winter cabin rentals nearly impossible in the region.
Mosquito preparation: Bug spray is essential for cabin stays, especially after rain. One camper at Lac qui Parle mentioned, "The park and campground are nice, but the mosquitos weren't! Stayed right after a mosquitos hatch sadly."
Varied shower access: Pomme De Terre Campground offers cabin accommodations with shower facilities, but their availability and proximity vary by campground. A visitor noted, "Pretty nice campground with water and electric. Bathhouse, walking trails, fishing and beautiful lake views."
Beach options: When selecting cabins near Barry for families, prioritize those with swimming areas. At Tipsinah Mounds, a reviewer shared, "We stayed in V5. Not lakeside but nicely secluded. There is a nice beach and the lake is clear. There is a big playground, basketball court, and ball field."
Activity amenities: Many cabins include nearby recreation areas. One camper reported about Tipsinah Mounds, "In the afternoon they have a hay ride (without the hay) around the grounds, kids loved it."
Cabin selection: Choose cabins based on proximity to facilities. A camper at Glacial Lakes noted, "Had a great stay, everything was as expected with a camper cabin. Beautiful park with great trails and a beautiful lake! Our cabin was a long ways from the shower facility which I knew going into the weekend."
Utility connection considerations: If staying in cabins but bringing an RV, understand hookup limitations. At West Unit of Pickerel Lake Recreation Area, a visitor commented, "It seemed like there are only a few campers here but a group of kids and their chaperones showed up later at night. They were loud enough to be heard but kept together politely."
Supply access: Limited store access means bringing supplies. County Line Campground offers "laundry and showers available as well as bait, ice, and I think even propane," but most cabin locations require self-sufficiency with supplies.
Lakewood dining option: For cabin guests seeking dining alternatives, Lakewood Supper Club provides meals alongside cabin rentals. One visitor mentioned, "What an amazing little gem of a place! A former resort, now home to just 12 full hook up RV sites, a couple of cabins, and an amazing supper club that opens at 5:00 daily."
