Description
North Shore Lodging and Campground is a coveted private resort property on Lake Thompson. Located just a few miles south of US-14 and just nine miles from the town of DeSmet, SD, a 12-month fishing season awaits. North Shore Lodging and Campground is a rare find in today’s market, with private access to Lake Thompson, the neighboring State Recreation Area, and stunning views of the spring and fall waterfowl migration in the heart of the Central Flyway.
Lake Thompson
Lake Thompson laps at the shore of the property, inviting anglers, boaters, paddlers, and swimmers to enjoy all that lake life has to offer. Extensive landscaping improved and protected the shoreline from erosion, and access from the property to the water’s edge is easier for people of all ability levels. Glacial lakes like Lake Thompson have bowl-shaped basins, and anglers are lured towards properties like North Shore Lodging and Campground with good access to deep water and prevailing northwest winds at their back. The maximum lake depth is approximately 22 feet, and there are numerous “humps” in the basin that provide structure for the fish to relate to. Lake Thompson is managed as a walleye, yellow perch, and black crappie fishery; other fish include northern pike and white bass. In addition to an excellent, consistent walleye and large, preferred class yellow perch fishery, Lake Thompson is also an important roost lake for waterfowl during the migration.
Improvements
The abundance and beauty of natural resources at the property are matched by the amenities and comforts of the turn-key lodge and campsites. Inside the lodge, the large dining and great room windows open the indoor spaces to the panoramic views of the lake. Five generous bedrooms and bathrooms provide ample space for family, friends, and guests in this private resort. Prepare the catch of the day in the large, well-appointed kitchen or on the patio grill, then enjoy a bonfire on the front lawn overlooking the lake as you watch the sunset. During “hard water” season, the huge great room is the perfect place to cozy up before the gas fireplace and swap stories of the one that got away. Eleven spacious, landscaped campsites with full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer, provide additional guest space and consistent revenue. The steel roof was replaced in the Spring of 2024, as well as a new furnace & AC installed in the Fall of 2023.
