Some mention

bugs

"Campers consistently praise Group Camp for its quiet, scenic setting — especially for birdwatching, relaxing, and the lake views. Visitors mention a nearby hiking opportunity (Hiking Club Trail) and a stop at the Lac qui Parle Mission as a nice historic addition. Some reviewers warned that the lake appears unclean for swimming, there can be bugs, and electric sites cost about $28/day."
