    Great Land, best place to relax and play my fav video game

    Really happy to be able to see some pictures of this lovely place, enjoying with family and pet is one of the most entertaining experience in life. Also have had a good time playing with the D2R items of my favourite video game. Will come back in this zone in the future.

    Lac qui Parle Upper Campground — Lac qui Parle State Park

    Spacious and tranquil

    Lots of space between sites. There are not many trees so not much shade. Sites are gravel and relatively level, not much leveling required. Variety of sites, from group camping, primitive (no hookups), electric only, full hookups (water, electric, sewer) as well as cabins and tent only areas. Limited hiking trails connected to campground. Surrounded on two sides by farm fields and Lac Qui Parle Lake on another. There are two loops in the campground. One loop has view of the lake. Boat/canoe launch is in lower campground about 10 minutes from Upper Campground. Recycling and garbage dumpsters on site. Dump station near entrance. Verizon cell signal is poor. Pit toilets available. Bathhouse is centrally located, includes private showers. No laundry on site. Nearby attractions in Montevideo include Talking Waters Brewery/taproom, Jake’s pizza and Java River cafe (with outdoor seating, dog friendly).

    Games Lake County Park Experience!

    Nice to get it here. I know a little bit about this 'Games Lake County Park which is located on the east shore of Games Lake. Basically it is part of the “Norway chain of lakes,” which total 2,800 acres, and provides an excellent fish population. I'm sure that someone will enjoy this place a lot like playing boku casino games.

    Group sites

    Stayed here with a large group of family and had a site big enough for all of our rigs. We brought our own firepits due to the size of the site we had. I cannot remember if any are provided. There were some walking paths right behind our site, which was great for those of us with dogs! There is a playground, pool, volleyball area, basketball court, and shower/bath house. The owners are onsite and very friendly people. Road through the campground is dirt.

    Oak Ridge Campground — Sibley State Park

    Nice campsites, great amenities and beautiful park

    Camped in site 81 in the Oak Ridge campground - this site was big enough for three tents, was nicely shaded and had great access to water and a bathroom w/shower. Was perfect for our group of 4. Saw a polite racoon that wandered into our campsite and then promptly left once we got it in our headlamps, we saw no evidence of its return once we turned in for the night.

    Bugs at the camp site were minimal, a little heavier on the trail but nothing bug spray couldn't handle. Heard sites were very close at Lakeview so chose Oak Ride, but felt they were still pretty close and had many vehicles traveling on the one way drive from 10p until midnight. If you're a light sleeper or early to bed might be a challenge at this state park. 

    It was a short walk to the interpretive center and the Mt Tom trail. Beautiful views of the oak savannahs from the Mt Tom overlook and the big blue stem was just starting to fill out in the surrounding prairies. Swimming at Lake Andrew was fantastic and the beach was full of people enjoying the lake. 

    Overall a great park to spend a weekend at!

    Beautiful views from the Upper Campground

    We had a lovely weekend overlooking Lac Qui Parle from our campsite. The lack of mature trees on the upper campground bluffs is a plus. A gentle breeze keeps the bugs down and allows for nice views. We have a 26’ travel trailer and got 2 bars of T-Mobile 5G service.

    Hidden gem

    Nice park. Water and electric hookups at each site. Each site had plenty of space. We happened to be the only one in the park all weekend, which was awesome. Close to neighboring towns for any essentials that were missed. Hidden gem!

    Great campground

    RV park and some tent sites located next to the public pool and softball field. Amenities are good. WiFi is shared with the public pool so it's very slow.

    Green Lake County Park

    Always an amazing visit

    Hands down my favorite spot to get away from the hectic week of work, parenting duties, and just all together adulting. It is so peaceful and everyone is so respectful, helpful and kind always every time we stay, which is any chance we get. They have the boat, pontoon and other water toy rentals and the gas/store on the premises that accommodates most needs. The deal sealer for me though is the bathroom/ showers are clean and they have cleaners go in and clean 3 times a day. YES COODOS FOR THAT!!! All around amazing, they never disappoint!

    Nice spot!

    Some of the spaces are small. We had site 3b which was good sized. Beautiful stream. Only complaint was showers aren't the greatest. Dingy and the shower head is really low on the wall. We'd come here again. Our next reservation is for a smaller spot. We'll see how it goes. Internet service is very spotty.

    Glacial Lakes State Park Campground

    Located in Central MN

    The trails in the park have nice rolling hills and offer a unique type of beauty. The campground is small, but offers some electric sites as well as some primitive sites. I do believe there were 2 or 3 cabins that I saw. Unsure if there is a group camp with this campground being so small as it is. Firewood is available at the check in/office building. There is a bathroom/shower building in the loop with the electric sites. The electric loop and primitive loops both have vault toilets. Each loop also has a few water stations to fill containers with potable water and each loop has a dumpster for disposing of waste. Not sure if there is a dump station for RVs as I typically use a tent when camping. Nice state park in Rural central Minnesota

    Nice spot!

    No waterfront sites but the lake is still close by! There is a nearby boat launch with parking. As well as a playground and beach area with a slide. Be sure to check out some of the local attractions!

    Yes, I did try searching for this online. Only here could I now locate it. I learned a lot from this really useful website thanks to him. I advise you to visit and carefully review everything if you are a newbie like me and think this website shako in d2r will be helpful to you as well. I'm happy to be able to explain everything to you. More details about the game itself and the helpful material on the website.
