    Hartford Beach State Park Campground

    Uncrowded and Beautiful

    Vibe: Almost empty on Monday night. Quiet natural lake setting. 

    Cleanliness: Exceptional. 

    Facilities: Updated and well maintained. 

    General spots: Good size, good spacing, ok privacy. Lots of trees 

    Our site: 20. Across from our site was a little trail down to the lake. In the evening we saw tons of fish and an otter. The electric hook up is pretty far from the picnic table/fire ring area. Have a long cord. 

    Noise: Only 4 sites were occupied out of 30 or so. Completely quiet all evening. 

    Cell signal: Good (Verizon)

    Other: Spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Cell phone pictures do not do it justice.

    Hartford Beach State Park Campground

    Nice place!

    This was a nice find! Sites pretty close together, especially those in the middle. Some, however, were right on the lake or had paths that lead to a picnic table & fire ring closer to the water. As another reviewer mentioned, one of the loops has sites that are not very level. It was not a problem though. Trails seemed nice & it was a nice surprise to find the dock & bridge near our site. Beach was nice! It was a decent walk there, but at least had a trail to the beach. Nice playground too.

    Nice, Small Campground

    We stayed here one night in April and it was a nice little place. There is a zoo which is nice for the kids. There is a fire pit and also a grill to use. There is a bathhouse and a shower. It was very easy to back the camper into the spot. There are also cabins available too. There is also a golf course so be sure to bring the clubs!

    County Line Campground

    Nice people with helpful suggestions

    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). The pull through sites are somewhat close together with no foliage to offer privacy but it is clean and well kept. We decided to stay in a back-in site further away from the office and pull through sites. Before we were even set up the host had brought us a beautiful, little picnic table and set it out front for us. They gave us leaflets about the area and we talked fishing possibilities with them. They have laundry and showers available as well as bait, ice, and I think even propane. We extended our stay here as it was a great place to just chill and take some exploratory drives. Although there isn't much shade to offer protection from the sun, they do have full hook ups so we could run air conditioning. We would definitely stay here again.

    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!

    Right on the lake

    This was a nice campground on the lake. The sites are not very private and some of the fire pits are are far away from the camping pad, they are down the hill by the lake. They have nice hiking trails.

Guide to Sisseton

Cabin accommodations near Sisseton are situated in the prairie pothole region of northeastern South Dakota, where glacial activity formed numerous lakes perfect for fishing and water recreation. The area experiences cold winters with temperatures frequently below freezing from November through March, and warm summers with average highs in the 80s. Most cabin rental facilities maintain seasonal operations, though some remain accessible year-round.

What to do

Fishing excursions: Roy Lake State Park offers excellent fishing opportunities with boat rental facilities. "Well maintained park with great fishing at Roy and many other surrounding lakes!" notes a visitor at Roy Lake West.

Hiking trails: Pickerel Lake Recreation Area maintains walking paths through natural areas. A visitor at West Unit reported, "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."

Historical exploration: Fort Sisseton State Park provides access to preserved historical buildings. One camper mentioned, "It was fun to explore the historical buildings. A couple of wild turkeys came by in the evening," adding cultural interest to the outdoor experience.

Beach activities: Several cabin locations offer swimming beaches for summer recreation. At Hartford Beach State Park, a visitor noted, "Beach was nice! It was a decent walk there, but at least had a trail to the beach. Nice playground too."

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many cabin areas provide room between units for privacy. At Hartford Beach State Park Campground, campers appreciate the layout options: "There are 2 separate camp areas with 2 completely different types of sites. The sites near the lake are very wooded... The upper sites are HUGE and very near nice!"

Clean facilities: Cabin rental locations maintain well-kept shower buildings and restrooms. A visitor described Fort Sisseton State Park Campground as "A small, quit, friendly park... The campsites are clean, well groomed, and spacious. The backrooms and showers are clean."

Water views: Many cabin rentals near Sisseton include lake access or views. One camper at Roy Lake East observed simply, "Clean facility, lovely view and fall colors," highlighting the seasonal appeal.

Evening wildlife: Guests often spot local wildlife from cabin porches and nearby paths. At Hartford Beach State Park, a visitor shared their experience: "In the evening we saw tons of fish and an otter."

What you should know

Seasonal availability: Most cabin rentals operate primarily during warm weather months. County Line Campground stays open through October, while Camping 109 RV Park operates year-round.

Reservation requirements: Summer weekends fill quickly at lake cabins. At Camping 109 RV Park, a visitor noted they "were one of many work campers staying at this RV park. The sites are roomy and well maintained as the owner mowed the sites often."

Mosquito preparation: Cabin campers should bring repellent, especially near water. Camping 109 RV Park is "near a river so beware of the mosquitoes," according to one review.

Cabin variations: Accommodation standards differ significantly between properties. At Lakewood Supper Club, a visitor noted limited availability: "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."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several cabin locations include play equipment for children. Pickerel Lake Recreation Area's West Unit offers "A book exchange, playground, volleyball and horseshoe pit give entertainment options."

Beach safety: Monitor children at lake swimming areas as most lack lifeguards. At Lakewood Supper Club, visitors noted "A nice beach and a boat landing" making it suitable for families who enjoy water activities.

Avoid work camps: Some facilities primarily serve construction workers rather than vacationers. A visitor to Camp Dakotah warned, "If you are looking for a family setting or quiet I would suggest a different campgrounds."

Hartford Beach State Park offers cabins with varied locations, as one visitor explained: "Some, however, were right on the lake or had paths that lead to a picnic table & fire ring closer to the water."

Tips from RVers

Utility connections: Cabins with RV-style hookups provide more amenities but typically cost more. At County Line Campground, a visitor found "full hook ups so we could run air conditioning. We would definitely stay here again."

Supplies nearby: Limited stores serve cabin areas; stock up in larger towns first. County Line is "near a very small town and close to the Interstate (less than one mile)," with hosts who are "happy to make your stay comfortable."

Off-season options: Winter cabin rentals exist but with reduced facilities. One RVer noted County Line has "laundry and showers available as well as bait, ice, and I think even propane."

Backup planning: Have alternative sites identified during peak seasons. As one camper at County Line noted, "Stayed here while moving across the country because there wasn't much else available. It was a nice surprise that it was as good as it is."
