"Clean lake with boating. Private lake so no fishing license required."
"I believe you can even rent or request a golf cart to make getting around easier.
The only regret I have is not staying longer. Truly a wonderful place.
Sprint/T-mobile data was around 56 Mbps down."
$74 - $119 / night
"The drive from Omaha was so quick and easy. The park is beautiful with tons of trails and things to explore. The overlooks are great, you can see so much of the river."
"It's set at the edge of rolling wheat fields over looking the Missouri river. The woods are lush and full of deer, turkeys and other critters (also ticks...)."
$30 - $126 / night
"We pulled in after office ours and easily found several primitive walk up sites to choose from. We selected T45 for it’s proximity to a scenic Missouri River overlook and it’s flat, shaded ground."
"Need to pay the State Park entrance fee if you don't have an annual pass, but the campground is enjoyable. Close to recreational opportunities for the kids."
$15 / night
"Water is centrally located.
Each site has electric. Some are 50 some are 30. All have 20A/110.
This is attached to a public park and next to a high school. It’s a very nice area."
"There are water spickets around and I'm not about dump stations. You are surrounded by a football field, two baseball fields and a nice children's playground."
$22 - $26 / night
"Trails in the area give you a chance to stretch your legs. Convenient to the interstate, but that also means some highway noise if you are not in a hard sided camper."
"We had the best tent site on the grounds, corner spot with decent trees and distance, most other spots are right on top of each other."
$10 - $20 / night
"There were vault/pit toilets close and regular restrooms with showers a little walk away (showers needed to be cleaned). Water spigot was close by too."
"Lots of trails, a little man made lake and a playground in the park for the kids. Beautiful hills and scenery and so quiet!"
$30 / night
"A lot of places in Iowa are closed to camping until April or even May. I looked west and quickly found this."
"We rode our bike around and got an incredible workout with lots of hills.
Great views of the Missouri at the 3 state corners viewing area."
$18 - $30 / night
"Scenic park is across the Missouri river from Sioux City, Iowa. It is easy to get to. Very friendly staff. Restrooms are kept clean. "
"This is our go to spot when we travel to Sioux City Iowa for basketball. Right across the river with a great view! Clean restrooms and showers! Third year here. Great staff too!"
"The highway is very close so you do hear cars. Privacy fences around the site to block out the neighborhood. Very nice staff!"
"Super close to stores . Nice spot."
"This KOA just north of the Iowa border is first class. ! Friendly staff and perfect for kiddos. The pool and adventure area are right up your alley if traveling with kids."
"The dog park is not so well-maintained but was adequate and the pool was clean, and there is easy access to the freeway Both north and south"
RangerI didn't camp here but stopped by to check it out as I was passing through. It's very quiet, if there is not a ball game happening. It's on the edge of town, not really walkable to anywhere. There are four spots, each with a concrete pad. There is an electric hookup at each site. There is a building onsite which is probably a restroom but I did not go inside.
My Verizon signal was very good here, over 100Mbit down. Strong 5G signal.
The website says the cost is $10 and can be paid at the Laurel City Office.
RangerLevel spots, water & electric. There is a dump station on site. Great Verizon and T-Mobile speeds here.

There is another review which says you pay the camp host, but they told me it must be done online now. The price in 2025 is $30/night for 30A (not sure if 50A is more), which I think is a little high considering you can camp in some beautiful spots for $30.
There is some kind of bathroom or shower house on site, but it requires a code and when I registered online it did not give me the code. There is quite a bit of traffic coming in and out of the small campground. Almost every camper has at least two cars parked with it, and people keep coming and going.
RangerLocated south of Yankton, SD and part of the South Dakota State Park system, this is a nice place to camp in a beautiful grove of cottonwood trees (I think). There are many campgrounds in the vicinity. This campground has 146 camping sites and 10 cabins. Bike/hike trails run through the woods and also along the water to Pierson Campground. There is a bandstand and 3 areas with playground equipment. Bathrooms have flush toilets and hot showers. There is a dump station along the road by the water. Individual sites have electricity but not water hookups. Hydrants are scattered throughout the campground. Wildlife in the area includes geese, ducks, turkeys, eagles, and beavers that I have seen. The sites are large and paved. No tent platforms, but two sites toward the back of the campground are designated for tents. I have visited 3 or 4 times and always in the Spring or Fall. This last trip was April and they just got the bathrooms/showers turned on. Other things to do: fishing, kayak or paddleboard, biking, and walking.

GuideQuiet little campground. I only saw 3 sites, but there is room for 3 or 4 more. $10 per night and the Rangers came at about 3:30 pm to clean the vault toilet and collect my fee from the lockbox. It's about a half mile from a well traveled road, but as I write this it's 7 in the evening and there's no more traffic. I'm the only person in the campground. There's a hand pump water well. Give it a dozen pumps to get it going. I don't suppose it is potable water. There's a river behind and the sign says you can launch a kayak.
TravelerWell from where I come from this is considered a boat landing not a camping spot still going to Camp here don't want to keep driving it is a nice spot right on the river looks like there's spots you could put a tent I'm driving an RV
LegendWe are staying at a basic tent camping site. There is available to us a pit toilet. Water is still shut down for the season.
Luckily, they do offer off-season rates. A Nebraska park permit is required for your vehicle.
Picnic table and fire ring are also here for us.
We are the only ones here in the entire park (mid-March 2025). Grounds are clean. Our site (site 5) is very large, and located on a small Bluff above the Missouri river.
Walking paths, frisbee golf, playgrounds, fishing, and boating are all available.
I have 4 bars of 5G cell service at my camp site. A WIFI hot spot is available at the camp office as well.
RangerWe 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.
GuideIn another 4-5 years when the trees have grown and this is better maintained, it could be a nice campground. Sadly, our trip there started with the Google directions leading us to the wrong side of the highway and a muddy, bumpy road. I called and they gave me correct directions. Once there, no office, no staff. I called because the site I had reserved was occupied. They said just pick any other. We paid for lake side, but it was too muddy in the other available sites. We were not offered a refund ($5). We saw several dogs off leash and, while they were well-behaved, one never knows if they will stay where they belong.
It was quiet at night. We stayed on a Saturday night.
GuideBig campground along river. Sites spaced nicely apart. Some riverfront sites with view. Trees, grass, bike path. Lots to do here. We camped at #116. This part seemed less crowded. We had no neighbors. Very pleasant. Clean bathrooms and warm showers!
