Camping at Fort Sisseton State Park near Lake City

State park · Lake City · 288 campsites

A forested campground near fishing. Most campsites have no hookups.

About this campground

This 1864 fort, atop the Coteau des Prairies (or hills of the prairies), was originally a frontier army outpost called Fort Wadsworth. The site was chosen because it provided a strong natural defense, an ample supply of lime and clay for making bricks, an abundance of lake water for drinking and a thick stand of trees for timber and fuel.
