Lake Shetek State Park, Currie

Great state park. It's a bit out of the way, which is a GOOD thing! Great combo of full, electric only or primitive (even 50amp!) sites. Well maintained and friendly staff. The sunrise campground, which has the full hookups (and where we stayed) is more open to the prairie but still backed up to woods. It has OUTSTANDING night sky viewing! The other campground is wooded and closer to the lake with electric only but the sites we're well laid out to minimize crowding. There are also 4 cabins to rent in that lower campground. There is no beach, but there is a small swimming landing. Cell service (we needed to work a bit) varied from decent to poor, not great. Overall we really enjoyed it and would happily return.

A great state park with plenty to do for the family. We walked over to Loon Island to swim off the shore, because the swimming area isn’t the greatest. This park is clean and the park rangers and staff were nice and friendly. My kids loved hiking around the park and seeing all of the deer, frogs, and toads. We forgot our fishing gear so we were able to check out some fishing poles and tackle boxes from the office to use and bought some worms at the gas station that was in town. There is small playground by the swimming area changing building that the kids enjoyed playing on. We will definitely be returning to Lake Shetek State Park!
