Menno Lake Camping - Huber Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

County-managed Menno Lake Camping sits on a dirt road several miles from the nearest town, requiring campers to stock up on supplies before arrival. The campground provides electric hookups at $10 per night, with sites featuring concrete pads, picnic tables, and fire rings. Two vault toilets serve the area, though reviewers note one older facility may need attention.

The lake stretches well beyond immediate view and attracts various bird species, while small hills frame the water. Campers report typically finding few neighbors, creating a secluded atmosphere despite occasional local traffic. A boat ramp and fishing docks provide water access. Wind can be noticeable, and the rural setting means occasional agricultural odors. For additional camping options in the region, consider campgrounds near Yankton.

Campers regularly cited the beautiful lake setting and well-organized sites with concrete fire pads at $10/night with electricity. Most found the vault toilets acceptable, though older facilities received mixed reviews.

Quiet peaceful spot on the lake

Excellent find and with electricity for only $10 a night. Pretty secluded with only one other camper. Some local traffic. Vault toilet withTP is far from where we camped and the old school toilets were a little too sketchy for me. If they were cleaned up I would have been brave enough to try. Such a beautiful place! Bugs are bad! Be prepared. Each site has picnic table and fire ring on nice concrete pad.

Gorgeous!

Beautiful site! The lake is surrounded by small hills and is filled with birds. Sites have picnic tables and fire pits. Has RV sites with electrical hook ups. 2 toilets, though the ones in the stone building are for the courageous only. It’s a bit windy and has the faint smell of cow poop but that’s to be expected.
Very neatly organized. You do need to go down a dirt road for a while to get here.

Hidden treasure

First off, do NOT try to get map directions to Huber Campground. That might be the actual name of the campsite, but if you want to find the place, what you're looking for is the "Menno Lake Recreation Area."

Once you do, however, you'll be blown away by the beautiful lake that stretches, well, not to the horizon, but well past your field of view. There's drive-in camping for cars and RVs, electric hook-ups, tables and fire pits, along with a pavilion for a picnic meal, and a small playground for the kids. 

Potable water is available near what I assume is a maintenance shed, not far from the fishing docks and public boat ramp.

One of the two toilets (both pits) is ADA accessible. The other one features side-by-side toilets for those who are very comfortable with others. 

Located a fair piece from the nearest grocery, I recommend you stock up before heading out there.
