GenieSummary
This campground is a hidden gem located on the shores of a large lake. It features well-spaced sites on level gravel pads, each with a picnic table and grass. The campground hosts, Sharon and Warren, are incredibly welcoming and helpful. The showers are clean but the womens side has lukewarm water. The entry is about 3 miles off the main highway and the road has a couple of breakups, but they have been temporarily repaired. There is a nice walking trail, boat launch, fish cleaning station, and double dump set-up with potable water. The campground also offers five cabins and is close to the DeSmet area. The only downside is the flies and the occasional cigarette butts and junk in the firepit.
From The Campground
Lake Thompson Recreation Area is a year-round park located 6 miles southwest of Lake Preston off US Hwy 14 in South Dakota. Originally called Dry Woods Lake by American Indians, the lake was renamed for Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the Interior under President James Buchanan. The lake is so distinct it was designated as a National Natural Landmark. The park offers 103 campsites, 5 camping cabins, and a group lodge. Activities include boating, fishing, hiking, biking, kayaking, swimming, and more. The park also offers modern lodging facilities.
