    Lake Lamoure Campground

    Regular Lakeside camping

    The campground is pretty but exposed would be hot in the summer. Has hookups water and sewer and there's a dump station around the corner. There's a beach boat dock fishing dock and a boat launch right here in this campground. Pit toilets no showers no other amenities. Beautiful view of the lake though and protected by the trees so it's a wildly windy day but not too bad we were camped.

    Whitestone Hill Historic Site

    This is a campground you can stay at across from the battlefield

    There are no services here there's a bathroom a couple of picnic tables but it's a big wide open space that I'm sure you can park anywhere you want. The attraction of course is the Whitestone battlefield across the small lake from here which is walkable distance and has a memorial to what happened on that site.

    Lake Hoskins RV Park & Campground

    Cute park for locals or someone passing through for a night

    We don't have time to stay but we definitely wanted to stop and see it. The park is small it has a couple of boat ramps some fishing docks playground toilets which were closed water which was off and looks like several people probably camp here long-term probably for a special rate. It's cute lots of trees the dam is within walking distance I'll put up some pictures if you needed a place to stay for the night I totally stay here.

    Roscoe City Park

    Tables w/ grass

    Pretty decent place for a quick stop and sleep, there are scattered charcoal grills, with covered tables. There's no real parking, just a place with a bit less grass. Bathrooms are always open. There is a 3 day camping limit but overall a pretty nice place.

    Kulm City

    Kulm Campground

    Convenient campground on the edge of the small town of Kulm. It has about 20 back in sites with water septic, and 30 and 50 amp hookups. No cable or WiFi. Sites are level and some have shade. Free swimming at the town pool next door when they are open.

    2020 post Covid Lockdown

    Some nice spots, some are to close to each other. Nice hiking trail. Kids love the beach.

    Mina State Rec Area

    Stunningly gorgeous

    While we're staying in the Aberdeen area we took time out today to scope out the campground at Mina Lake State Recreation Area, and it is absolutely beautiful. Well-spaced sites, nice grassy lawns, and most sites back up right to the water. As the facilities list says, sites are electric only but there are water hydrants spaced throughout the campground. They were unfortunately booked when we tried to reserve, for that would've been a stellar stay.
