Hofeman's Haven & Campground provides dry cabins without bathrooms or kitchenettes, though bathroom facilities are conveniently located nearby. A recent guest described the cabins as having "cute decor" despite being basic accommodations. Pickerel Lake Recreation Area features cabins "sprinkled throughout" the campground, according to one review. Most cabins in the region allow pets, though policies vary by location.

    Hofeman's Haven & Campground

    Has cabins and RV sites

    I arrived last night and stayed in a cabin. The cabin had cute decor. It is a dry cabin so no bathroom or kitchenette But the bathroom is right next to the cabin. Bathrooms are clean. Hope to stay in one of the rvs with a bathroom and kitchen the rest of my stay

    West Unit — Pickerel Lake Recreation Area

    Spacious grassy campground that is lakeside

    I spoke with a man who remembered when he used to come here to fish with his Dad. That was enough to encourage a stop here. We followed the signs and ended up at the west campground. There is another one on the eastern shore. 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- good to see programs bringing people out into nature. It also looks like they had a full weekend due to the reservation slips still on the posts. Well tended grass abounds and the openness leaves room for the breeze. It might be different in a heat wave but the sun and breeze combo is quite relaxing and is keeping the bugs away. 

    We walked around camp and found cabins sprinkled throughout. A vault toilet is right next to the shower house leaving me wondering why they’re so close. A book exchange, playground, volleyball and horseshoe pit give entertainment options. A groomed trail leads right out of camp- bug spray needed for the trail. A boat launch and day use area is around the bend. This State Recreation Area has plenty to do and is beautifully maintained. 

    This is a great option for tonight!

    Fort Sisseton State Park Campground

    Very well maintained

    This is a very pretty park. Lots of camping extremely well maintained grounds and buildings and a good set of trails, along with access to a lake. The showers are gorgeous, there are cabins, wood for sale and all amenities.

    Mina Lake Recreation 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.

    Wylie Park Campground & Storybook Land

    Cute campground in a nice area

    We were there at a very quiet time. It's a pretty, well maintained park with two bath and shower houses. I think it may be a little snug for some at the busy time of the year. I've of the things I really like is that the shower stalls have a private area in front of them with a sink for shaving or whatever allowing you to do what you need without taking up space.

    Wylie Park Campground & Storybook Land

    Quiet midweek, lots of kids on weekends

    The main campground itself at Wylie Park is rather attractive with mature trees and reasonable site spacing (there's a secondary North Campground that's newer with less mature vegetation). Pricing is a little high at $36+/night for FHU, but the reason folks come here is for the park's other amenities including Storybook Land, Wylie Lake, go-carts, bumper boats, mini-golf, etc. This place is a kids' paradise.

    Which leads to the situation on weekends: this place is positively overrun with kids. Kids crying, kids riding their bikes through your campsite (and ill-informed adults, too). The geese in the waterfowl pond adjacent to the campground made quite the racket, too, but that didn't bother us. The kids did. Fine if that's your thing, but to a couple of 50-somethings without kids anymore, this was annoying.

    Midweek, though, the place was terrific, maybe 50% occupied. Staff was friendly and welcoming.
