The best camping near Pickerel Lake Recreation Area guide

Overview

About

Perched right in the northeastern tip of South Dakota, Pickerel Lake has sure got a lot to show for itself. Loved by anglers, the park is set up with a fishing dock, fishing pole checkout, and a fish cleaning station, meaning you’ve got it pretty much made when it comes to casting a line into the beautifully blue Pickerel Lake. Besides fishing, Pickerel is home to tons of boating, canoeing, and kayaking— there’s a ton of outdoorsy activities to keep all types of campers occupied. You might just get there and fall in love with the deep blue water. If so, no sweat—Pickerel Lake has got a heck of a lot of campsites (plus some cozy cabins) available if you’re itching to spend the night. Pure outdoor bliss.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Pickerel Lake Recreation Area is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the lake's waters invite you for a swim. Spring offers a burst of wildflowers, while fall dazzles with fiery foliage. Winter, though beautiful, can be challenging with snow and cold temperatures, making some activities less accessible.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience amid changing conditions.
  • Be mindful of park wildlife; maintain a safe distance and do not feed the animals.
  • Accessibility varies across the park.
  • Remember to pack out all your trash and leave no trace to preserve the park's natural beauty.
  • For any assistance or queries, reach out to the customer service at 605.223.7660.
