Wakonda Lake Campground has 13 campsites that have sewer, electric, and water with two of them being ADA accessible. All the campsites are close to the banks of Wakonda Lake since the campground is surrounded by it. Each site is huge, with the pad length ranging from 68 to 110 feet long and they all have their own fire pit, lantern hanger, and picnic table. In the middle of the campground across from campsites 103/104, you will find the showers with hot water, restrooms, and a playground for the kids to work off some of that energy that is wearing you out. Your pets are welcome here as well, but they have to be restrained or on a leash at all times.
Site 63 was a good choice for being close to trees and not too close to other sites. We were here in the early spring so we virtually had the place to ourselves. The site was pretty level. Large enough for our trailer (23 ft) but we would have had a hard time locating a spot to put up our Clam (screen house) unless we moved the picnic table. Other sites were pull through which could be a benefit. It would seem like if the campground was busy the sites might feel a bit close together. However, for our 1 night stay it worked really well. There definitely was some road noise, but not extremely loud just enough that you would know it was there.
We went to the nearby town to the brewery which was great. We will stay here for an overnight again.
Wakonda State Park is a great place to spend a few days. There are 4 main fishing lakes. Great access for kayaks and canoes. Honestly, two of the lakes are suited for gas powered boats. There are two different Camp Grounds. There is a swimming beach, bike and hiking trails along with several playgrounds for kids.
Beautiful state park. Multiple lakes for fishing kayaking and swimming. Lots of campsites available. Picnic spots and trails.
I couldn't find much information on staying at this park, but booked it anyway. To my surprise, within this might be our new favorite place. We enjoyed fishing and kayaking. There were plenty of open spaces for more campers this weekend. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. The campsites were very spacious and not right on top of each other. We will be back. 😀
