Shetek comes from the Ojibwe word for pelican, and pelicans still frequent the lake to this day.
Inside
The main floor runs from a living room with a deep charcoal sectional through to the dining table and a wood-cabinet kitchen with a full range, microwave and dishwasher. A separate family room has another sectional and a TV, so the kids and the grown-ups each get a room of their own.
The gym
Part of the house is set up as a gym: a treadmill and stationary bike by the windows, a squat rack and bench, and a rack of dumbbells. Early-morning workout, then the lake.
Very well maintained place. Super comfortable and has everything a family needs and more.

Located on the eastern shores of Lake Shetek, the largest lake in southwest Minnesota and the headwaters for the Des Moines River, the campground was originally established in 1994 as Schreier's On Shetek (SoS). In early 2026 we expanded operations and now operate under the Lake Shetek Campground name, offering two locations: Schreier's On Shetek and Armstrong Bay.
Given the rarity of large lakes in southwest Minnesota and for some distance over the borders into Iowa and South Dakota, Lake Shetek is a regional draw for both wildlife and water recreation. In fact, Shetek is derived from the Ojibwe word for pelican, a bird that to this very day frequents the waters of Lake Shetek and the surrounding area. This is why we commonly use the tagline 'Pelican Waters'.
Lake Shetek is well known for its walleye fishing as well as tasty panfish such as perch, bullheads and crappies. The size and configuration of the lake proves extremely well for quiet fishing, personal watercraft, pontoon boats, paddle boats and water skiing, among other activities.
The wooded shorelines are home to many species of animals that can be viewed from your campsite. These include various birds, deer, turtles, squirrels and chipmunks.
