About Meadowbrook Campground
Natural Features and SceneryBig Stone Lake State Park sits along the shore of **Big Stone Lake**, a long, narrow border lake between Minnesota and South Dakota.[1][6] The area around Meadowbrook Campground is characterized by open prairie, scattered trees, and lakeshore views, with **big sunsets over the water** frequently mentioned in camper reviews.[1][3] Campers note abundant **birdlife**, including pelicans, and other wildlife visible from the campground and lakeshore.[3] Several reviewers also comment that aquatic vegetation and washed‑up weeds can be heavy at times, affecting the look and smell of parts of the shoreline and swimming beach.[1][2]

Good to know
Common complaints- **Lake/Beach conditions**: Multiple TripAdvisor reviews mention a “putrid” or “awful” smell from the lake at times, with water described as very weedy and unappealing for swimming, and a beach with heavy washed-up weeds.[1][2]
- **Water quality/aesthetics concerns**: At least one reviewer attributes degraded lake conditions to runoff and shoreline development, expressing disappointment and calling the water “brownish green” with heavy vegetation.[1]
- **Facility cleanliness and maintenance**: Some reviews describe dirty bathrooms and showers and long grass around the campground during certain visits, along with an office that was closed when expected open.[1][2]
- **Noise and enforcement**: One TripAdvisor review details late-night partying into early morning hours and an arrest at a nearby site, criticizing lack of enforcement of quiet hours and stating they would not return.[1]
- **Limited hiking appeal**: A reviewer contrasts this park with others in Minnesota, stating that hiking here is mostly flat prairie and not a strong draw, particularly outside peak summer.[1]
