Went twice this summer. Good vibes, clean bathrooms, and loved having lake front views.

Wonderful state park! Beautiful, well-maintained hiking trails. I biked them on an unseasonably warm March day. Also played disc golf on the 9 hole course. Absolutely spectacular.

Beautifully maintained state park with gorgeous flowerbeds, grass and trees. Camp Sites have good shade. Park is very clean. There is a very nice, large marina. Beach is accessible, but very rocky. Wear shoes. Lake is quite large.

Love this campground! Gorgeous, spacious, beautiful sunsets, nice people and excellent swimming beach! We stayed at five campgrounds as we traveled north last week. This was BY FAR the best! This is an awesome campground! The women's showers could use a good deep cleansing. But, otherwise this campground checks ALL the boxes! We will for sure be back! FYI - we were driving a one-ton truck pulling a 45 foot fifth wheel toy hauler.

Good for quick visit, camping, boating and fishing! Only about 30 minutes ride from Brookings you can do bunch of activities that is applicable to the whole family in Lake Poinsett. There’s playground for kids and you can just swim on the lake. There are restrooms on many spots. Also good for picnic and barbecue! There’s also fantastic disc golf spots, beach-volleyball court for some extra fun. Check the state park website for camping availability.
