There are 2 campgrounds at Lake Shetek - Sunrise and Oakwood -they are across the road from each other. Sunrise is the full hook-up campground. Yes, it's mostly an open field with a few small trees. Sites on the west side back up to trees. The sites are really big - plenty of privacy even though there is no tree buffer between sites. Since it's full hookup, there are no showers (they are across the street in the Oakwood campground). However there is a small/clean toilet building.
The circles have central picnic shelters. Voltage and water pressure was good.
The campground roads are newer asphalt. Pads are gravel. In Sunrise they are all VERY level - some slope in some of the Oakwood sites.
We walked the Oakwood campground several times. A mix of electric and non-electric. Bigger sites with good privacy.
The campground host was around a lot. Unlike most MN state parks, they wanted you to check in when arriving.
About 1/2 mile from the campground is a bike trail to the small town of Currie. It's 3 miles. A little gem - End of the Line Railroad Museum at the end of the trail. Worth the $7 fee for a guided tour.

I made a reservation for the Oak Woods campground online so that I would have a guaranteed place to stay the first night after picking up my Escapade camper in Litchfield, MN. There is an office at the park entrance to check in when you arrive. In addition to the nightly fee(s), a vehicle pass is required ($7 per night or $35 for an annual pass). The park office has a gift shop and also sells ice (May-September) and firewood. The campground has flush toilets, pit toilets, hot showers and drinking water available. Most campsites are electric and all campsites have a picnic table and a fire pit/grill. I stayed in early August and the bugs were not too bad but I did apply bug spray.
My favorite campsites are:
-Site 10: This was my favorite non-electric campsite and the 2nd most private site. I stayed here and added photos to the gallery. It has a lake view, light shade, and is aback in.
-Site 33: This was my favorite electric site and the most private site but is not a good option if you need solar. It has no lake view, heavy shade, and is a back in.
-Site 30: This is a good electric site if you want to be close to the bathrooms but is a little less private. It has no lake view, full shade, and is aback in.

Great views, great trails and nice facilities. This campground impressed us and seems like a hidden gem. We arrived on memorial day weekend and had many sites to choose from including several with good views of the lake.
The park is heavily wooded so bring big spray.
Has since small beach and lots of good trails.
Showers/ bathrooms were nice and clean.
You can also make same day reservations for MN state parks if this is a last minute thing as ours was.

We stayed in a motorbike. There are different camping areas. Some full hook ups that are in an open area as it's a newer campsite, so minimal shade but large spaces p, far apart. Others in shaded large spaces for RVs or tents with just water and then some primitive sites. Swimming , canoe and other rentals, huge park on a big lake in SW MN with bike and hiking trails. Hosts were great and brought information on area events (Laura Ingalls Wilder museum was one) Staff came and fixed our electric. Came back to make sure it was working. Full showers and flush and pit toilets. Very clean. We will be back.
