Lake Metigoshe State Park, North Dakota

At the end of summer, we decided to go camping at Lake Metigoshe Sate Park. I had spent falls just near there at a camp as a teenager and loved it. And I wanted to go back. It’s such a hidden gem of ND!

Although we did have fun walking trails around the lake and setting up camp, and the bathrooms were quite nice, the experience was utterly ruined by a group of younger people not only blaring music all night, but they brought a karaoke machine and definitely used it. And the music they played...it was vile. I’m no prude. But I think that certain rap and pop songs probably shouldn’t be blasted to an entire campground especially via karaoke mic. if only because there are kids around. The problem was, that the park staff did nothing, and the people not only partied loudly all night but kept it going all the next day. They put their music on a boom box and carried it around the camp ground. So even when we tried to escape to the trails...we could still hear it across the lake.

Overall, the trip was ruined and we were very sad. We just wanted to enjoy our time in nature. And you can tell by these pictures, we did try.

I took these photos while walking the trail, trying to escape the terrible music.

Hopefully you can see why people love to camp here - bad camping etiquette aside.

It was the end of August, but signs of fall were showing!

I had actually hoped to return for a hopefully better stay in the fall, but life became incredibly busy and then we had an early snow. Maybe it will work better next year!
