About Lake Kampeska:

Lake Kampeska is a beautiful 5,250-acre glacial lake just northwest of Watertown, South Dakota. Known for its scenic shoreline (13.5 miles!) and artistic inspiration, it’s a hub for year-round outdoor fun—boating, fishing, biking, swimming, ice fishing, and more.

The lake is home to two state parks (Sandy Shores & Memorial Park) and one city park, plus over 15 miles of bike trails. You’ll also find two great golf courses nearby: Prairie Winds and Cattail Crossing.

We’re less than a mile from Sandy Shores State Park—perfect for launching a boat, snowmobiling, or enjoying beach time with the family.

Local Highlights:
Watertown is just 7-8 miles away and offers everything you need:
• Grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants
• Movie theater, bowling, Bramble Park Zoo, Aquatic Park, and even a new escape room downtown
• Dakota Sioux Casino and two 18-hole golf courses
• Plenty of local bait shops and outdoor stores

No crowds, no hassle—just the perfect peaceful escape.

Nearby Cities:
• 3.75 hrs from Minneapolis, MN (207 miles)
• 2.2 hrs from Fargo, ND (152 miles)
• 1.4 hrs from Sioux Falls, SD (110 miles)
