This property has 10 camp spots. Sites 1 and 10 have a boat landing. Sites 1,4,5, 6 and 10 have shades trees that can hold hammocks. All sites are right next to the lake. Site 6 has a dock that all can use. There is excellent swimming with a sandy bottom at the south end of the lake. The lake is stocked with walleye in the spring by the DNR and has other fish as well. It is also close to many lakes that are good for fishing. I have a 14' fishing boat with trolling motor, a paddle boat, a kayak, and canoe for campers to use for free. Firewood is available for $5/day. There is some hiking on the property and much near by. Biking is also good with small lakes nearby to visit.

Also all sites are drive through on hard ground grass. Grates are provided for cooking over the fire. There is Wi-Fi internet that reaches sites 1-5.

The best camping near Lake Shetek State Park guide

Overview

About

Shetek is an Ojibwe word for pelican. The beautiful birds flock to Lake Shetek in the summer and fall for a taste of that Minnesota hospitality. Join our feathered friends and come discover what Lake Shetek State Park can offer you. Highlights include the massive lake, of course, but also a 45-acre island in the middle, just waiting to be explored, a rustic cabin that memorializes the rugged pioneer settlers from days gone by, and a six-mile loop bike trail that will easily pop you into the town of Currie if you run low on provisions. Just like the Shetek, you can easily catch your fill of fish for the table. Hook your dinner via the handicap accessible fishing pier, or rent a boat for a more secluded adventure. Either way, you’re sure to fall in love with Lake Shetek State Park.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot, as campgrounds fill up quickly during peak seasons.
  • Consider visiting during weekdays for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Stay flexible with your dates to increase your chances of finding an open site.
  • Explore nearby camping options to ensure you have a backup plan.

When to go

The best time to visit Lake Shetek State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer offers warm days perfect for water activities, though it's also the busiest season. Winters can be harsh, so be prepared if you venture during the colder months.

Know before you go

  • Highway 67 is closed; follow alternative routes provided by the park for access.
  • Check the weather forecast and pack accordingly for your outdoor adventure.
  • Remember to bring essentials like water, snacks, and a first-aid kit.
  • Be mindful of park rules to preserve the natural habitat and wildlife.
  • Use the park's coordinates in your GPS to avoid outdated map directions.
