Lac Qui Parie State Park - June 16-19

Lac Qui Parie State Park                
June 16-19

L16e
37 Upper and 21 Lower - Electrical
7 miles of Hiking Trails

We stayed at the Lower Campground, 16e.  I WOULD NOT SUGGEST STAYING AT THIS LOCATION.  Look at the open field at the Upper campground.  The mosquitoes are so bad at the lower campground you will be kept hostage in your camper.  

Our camp site was 55 feet long with lot of room on both sides.
  Each site has a table and fire pit but I would not use them with that many very hungry mosquitoes.  

We visited the state park office to get a year pass and saw the exhibits.  A number of stuffed animals and capibliers in the process of becoming butterflies.  We also saw the Fort Renville site and Lac Qui Parle Mission with all of it's history.   


The upper camping is an old farm's field so there are only a couple of small trees.  The back loop overlook the Lac qui Parle Lake.  There are a couple of double spot if you are traveling with family or friends and have to campers.  There are a couple of sites with full hook up.  The best site we like was site U39e.
 We decided to dump at the Upper campground rather than get eaten up alive.  The upper campground dump station is much nicer.  The funny thing was the lower campers either didn't stay around or asked to be moved to the upper campground.  We never thought that was an option.
