Best Time to Camp at Lake Louise Campground

Plan your camping adventure between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, when the campground welcomes overnight guests for the full summer season. Spring through summer is prime time here—wildflowers paint the meadows in brilliant color, and warm sunshine beckons swimmers and paddlers to the lake. While the park remains open for day use during the shoulder seasons, camping opportunities wind down after Labor Day, making fall and winter ideal for quiet trail walks and wildlife watching rather than overnight stays. Always check current seasonal schedules before heading out to ensure the amenities you need will be available.

About Lake Louise Campground

Tucked along the Upper Iowa and Little Iowa Rivers, Lake Louise State Park invites you to discover a hidden gem where history meets tranquility. This intimate park wraps around a charming mill-pond lake, created by a historic dam that now serves as the centerpiece for swimming, paddling, and lazy afternoons of fishing. Whether you're exploring meadow trails on foot or horseback, or cycling the paved Shooting Star State Trail, you'll find the perfect escape without the crowds.

Main campground includes tent and RV drive-in sites; separate group camps and a horse camp are reported on-site.

Historical SignificanceThe park includes a historic mill-pond created by an early dam on the Upper Iowa River, tied to local settlement and past waterpower use; the impounded lake is central to the park's recreation and history.

Weather and SeasonsPlan your camping adventure between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, when the campground welcomes overnight guests for the full summer season. Spring through summer is prime time here—wildflowers paint the meadows in brilliant color, and warm sunshine beckons swimmers and paddlers to the lake.

Always check current seasonal schedules before heading out to ensure the amenities you need will be available.

Natural Features and SceneryThe park's namesake lake sparkles at the heart of it all—a peaceful impoundment where two rivers meet and slow to create an ideal paddling playground. Glide across calm waters in your canoe or kayak, cool off at the swimming beach, or cast a line from shore. Beyond the water's edge, a tapestry of habitats unfolds: sun-drenched meadows alive with butterflies, shady hardwood groves perfect for afternoon picnics, and rare prairie remnants that whisper stories of Minnesota's past. The paved Shooting Star State Trail cuts through the park, connecting cyclists and inline skaters to miles of scenic corridor while hikers and equestrians can venture onto softer paths that meander through this diverse landscape.
