Open spring through autumn, our 27 pull-through sites feature full water, sewer, and electrical hookups. Plus, and we're pretty proud of this one, the RV Park is just steps away from our championship golf course, casino, three restaurants, Aveda Salon & Spa, and more. Free WiFi is available inside the resort. General Information:

In the Town Park
Call/visit the police station and pay $10 for camping. Access to the clean toilet and rv hookup. (we didn't use it since we are in our sedan) It's really a park in the town that kids play disk golfing (for free), but quiet and nice stay for a night.

Magnolia City Campground
Just what we needed
We just needed a place to stay for the night. The playground was rated “amazing” by our kids. The electrical and water are a little spaced out. We took the end spot and count quite reach our two water hoses. There two long-term campers who were hooked up to the water spigot closest to us. The first-come, first-served / self-pay system other great for us. We pulled in at 7:00 pm and left at 8 am.

Outstanding !
Peaceful and relaxing camp. Camp hosts are friendly and incredibly helpful!!! 3 Reservable full hook ups, otherwise first come.
Jesse H.ScoutMagnolia City Campground
Great overnight spot
Was picking up my rv from south Dakota after getting repairs from a previous trip. So pulled a 2 and half day 1700 mile trip and ended upon this small gem of a campground that was open with full hookups on October 30th. ( October 31st is their season ending date on website) anyways pulled up about 8 at night and 1 other 5th wheel was there. Very quiet. It was dark the spots seemed alittle unorganized layout. But didn't get to much attention to it as I was stopping for the evening basically to just sleep. I did notice that the power boxes are set up is only few spots with multiple power boxes on the post. So you could need a power cord extention. If all spots by the power boxes are taken up. But it was a great overnight spot. I would like to check it out in season. Couldn't pass it up for full hook ups on October 30th. And the price is only $15.00

Magnolia City Campground
Quiet place to rest
Great place right off of 90. Follow the gps location on the app. Don’t use the address off of the city’s web site. Plus there are signs for camping that will lead you right to it. It’s a first come place with no reservations and you pay on the honor system when you pull in. But full hook ups and easy back in parking. Great place for a over night!

Scenic Park
Nice Stopover Spot
We stayed with our class A RV on our way to and from a further destination. First spot was one right along the river. All the spots are spacious...neighbors are not on top of you. This spot had a nice concrete pad with a picnic table (not so nice with peeling paint). Views of the river and city were nice. Full hook-ups with sewer, water, electric, cable, and wi-if. Second spot was not on the river but equally spacious. No concrete pad with this one. Bathhouses were a mixed bag. One was large with numerous stalls and showers and very clean. The other quite small (2 stalls and one shower) and not so clean. Had to step around empty shampoo and conditioner bottles on floor and a used razor on the soap dish.....there in the early evening and still there around 9 the next morning. Many of the sites seemed to be extended stay and not all trailers were well kept.....plastic covering windows, haphazard decks, etc. All-in-all though an Ok stopover in a longer trip.

Nice Stopover Spot
We stayed with our class A RV on our way to and from a further destination in early July. First spot was one right along the river. All the spots are spacious...neighbors are not on top of you. This spot had a nice concrete slab with a picnic table (not so nice with peeling paint). Views of the river and city were nice. Full hook-ups with sewer, water, electric and (spotty) WiFi. Second spot was not on the river but equally spacious. No concrete patio with this one. Bathhouse’s were a mixed bag. One was large with numerous stalls and showers and very clean. The other quite small (2 stalls and one shower) and not so clean. Had to step around empty shampoo and conditioner bottles on the floor and a used razor on the soap dish...there in the early evening and still around 9 the next morning. Many sites seemed to be extended stay and not all were well kept...plastic covering windows, haphazard decks, etc. All-in-all though an OK one night stopover spot if you’re traveling through.

Cottonwood Cove Park Campground
Tiny and QUIET!
Cottonwood Cove Park was the fifth campsite we rolled into in this tri-state area looking for a spot that we actually liked, and boy did we score! This is a little municipal park with only 12 sites, water/electric/cable TV for $22/night. Be aware that there is no dump station here. There's a small bath house that's presently closed for COVID-19 precautions.
Driveways and the road through the campground are crushed white gravel, but there are small concrete pads at each site for the rig and patio area. Large cottonwood trees tower throughout the campground. There are tiny campers and large fifth-wheels here, both. There's a campground host occupying one site, and you pay the host. Spacing between sites is very, very generous -- kudos to Dakota City for not cramming people into this place just to double the revenue.
The campground buts up right against a pretty natural stretch of the west bank of the Missouri River, with a boat launch and interpretive platform discussing Lewis & Clark's expedition that passed through here. The campground itself is tucked right into the middle of a neat, tidy residential neighborhood, such that it almost feels like you're part of the neighborhood.
It's been amazingly quiet during our stay. We've barely seen our neighbors, much less heard them even though the campground is mostly occupied. There are several rigs here that are long-term, presumably they're working at the massive Tyson Foods plant just up the road.
Cell service on Verizon is an impressive 4 bars, 42ms ping/65.6 Mbps down/24.8 Mbps up/3ms jitter.
We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Lazy H Campground
1st class RV Park
Out in the middle of basically nowhere is The Lazy H RV park. The park is excellent! It's probably the cleanest park I've ever been to. The concrete pads are level and large. The grass and spacing between spots is wonderful. The staff is VERY friendly. Can't wait to go back.

Lazy H Campground
Beautiful Newer RV Park
It is really obvious that these folks put a lot of thought and effort into this park. Big lake for swimming and fishing. Concrete pads and nice new picnic tables. We were greater by an awesome host who gave us some welcome gifts. Keep in mind, this is an RV park, not a campground. Sites are close and although they've planted some nice trees, they are small and aren't providing shade yet. Overall, really nice spot if you are into amenities rather than privacy. Great for kids!

Great spot close to everything
We found the Scenic Park RV Campground when we were looking for a spot to stay close to Sioux City, IA for a sports event for our sons. We were extremely happy with this city run campground.
The pads are in great shape. They offer full hookups. We did not have a full hookup site, but still had water, electric, and free cable tv. The view from our camper of the Missouri River and the Sioux City skyline was pretty great.
The staff is friendly and welcoming. The location is quiet and everyone staying there seemed very nice as well. Will definitely be back when we’re up that way again next year.

Nicely designed campsites
Another beautiful state park. The RV sites are spacious, level and well-arranged. The Verizon cell service is not perfect but manageable. The entire park is very clean and well-maintained. The dump station is very accessible and well-equipped. Overall, this is a great park. If it had full hookups, it would be perfect!

Grand Falls Casino
Good stopover on way to Sturgis
It’s a casino RV park. Basic amenities. They offer free dry parking in their main parking lot. FHU 30/50 available. $30 during week, $40 weekend, $50 holiday weekend. Also has nice looking golf course on property as well with reasonable rates. As for the casino, decent selection of slots and tables with a live poker room. The kind of restaurants you’d expect. Buffet open on weekend. Quick stop cafe open during the hours you’d expect and a steakhouse open for dinner. I stopped on the way to and back home from Sturgis, as it’s about a full day’s drive from the house. Will definitely plan on using every year from now on

Mallory S.GuideWillow Creek Campground
Nice overall, exceptional bathrooms
Site 42 is on the beach side which is the newer part of the campground, it’s one of the full hookup ones by the sidewalk. It was level and had some shade.m; sites are average size. There’s a dumpster and a container for recycling (not at the same spot), single stream no glass. The cell signal was good and they furnish wifi which was also good. The bathrooms are stupendous! Shiny floor, air conditioned and residential faucets in the showers! No button pushing! The trails are great! There are 1 and 2 mile loops to the east and 5 miles that follows the river to the west and south. We didn’t get in the pond but lots of other campers did. The City rents seasonal spots so there was a mix of locals and travelers. We enjoyed ice cream at Blue Bunny and beer at Wise I.

Ponca State Park, Nebraska
Sept 10-15, 2019 Site 2 had electric and water (shared spicket). We enjoyed this park. We could have saved money if we had purchased the State Park Pass. We paid $40.88, Park had dump station, pay showers ($1 for 6 minutes), and flush toilets. Restrooms were very clean. Elevation 1,320 ft. Verizon 4G 2 bars. See RV Camping Journal for details.

Great campground off I-90 for price
Beautiful CG just off I-90 on our way east from NW. Absolutely loved this place. Perfectly level site with new hook ups, awesome WiFi and tons of cable channels. Great laundry and facilities. Even the use of the parks pool, although it was full of small children. The grounds were beautifully manicured. We only stayed 2 nights, but would recommend this place, especially for the price. Bar/ restaurant, restuarant amd dollar store all right outside of camp ground. Only con is when you're outside you hear I-90.

Friendly Municipal Campground
Our first stop on trip to Seattle. Campground has nice tree covered sites. We used it as a one night stay. Sites have full hookups for ~ $30. Area is close to a community pool (a 1/2 block from the campground entrance). Friendly staff.

So much fishing! River and lake. Very peaceful during the spring and fall. Great mushroom hunting in the hills. Lots of spots for rvs, tents, and they have cabins. Love the shooting range.

Lazy H Campground
Well maintained campground
Pull through & full hookup paved lots. Nice manicured grass. Huge swim beach with anchored lilypads. You can rent out pontoons, pedal boats, kayaks. Don't plan on bringing your own. Food trucks come in during the day! It is Glamping camping.
Fishing has designated areas, though during our stay not much was biting.
