Part of the Cherokee County Conservation Board's network, Stieneke Area Park provides walk-in and boat-in camping access along a river corridor near Washta. The campground accommodates roughly six to seven sites in an informal layout, with campers selecting their own spots rather than using designated pads. A hand-pump well supplies water, though visitors should treat it before drinking.
Rangers collect the $10 nightly fee from an on-site lockbox and maintain the vault toilet daily. The half-mile access road leads away from main traffic routes, creating a notably quiet environment by evening hours. River access allows kayak and canoe launching directly from the camping area. For additional regional options, campers can explore camping spots around Quimby or visit Silver Sioux Recreation Area five miles northeast.
