"Quiet place with nice bike and walking paths. Electric only 30amp water close by. Full dump station."
"Amazing remnant of Minnesota prairie set among the farm country."
"There are also several vault toilets around the area. From the campground you have access to the water. There are also several short hiking trails from where you can see the rock formations."
"This is a sweet little tucked away oasis near Sioux Falls featuring trails, bluffs and climbing options. Great views and clean camp sites."
$40 / night
"Playground nearby. The campground is right off the hiking club trail for that doing that. Site 22 had nice trees for hanging hammocks. Firewood is available at the office."
"A small lake with 5 docks and a swimming beach. A few small hiking trails and a park for the kiddos."
"There was a really nice dump station outside of the park near entrance to Devil’s Gultch."
"A well maintained city campground with vault toilets and convenient nearby dump station just outside the park. Night time train traffic may be a negative for light sleepers."
"We had a tent site, number 24, and it was tucked into the woods but still close to the parking lot!"
"They have nice long paved trails for walking and biking. We got to walk our dogs on it to avoid tick contact from the grassy trails. There was a cool suspension bridge that was fun to walk on."
$18 - $42 / night
"the owners are attentive, the facility is clean, neighbors are friendly, and it’s located close to restaurants, shopping, and anything else you could need or want! We’ll definitely be back!"
"Campground was nearly full of local campers but the kids played great together. Decent pool & showers, fun activities like bags tournaments and a potluck."
"We decided to stay at this campground because it was close to Falls Park. It’s 4 miles away from the KOA to Downtown. It wasn’t crowded, very clean, met lots of Texans and the pet areas were awesome!"
"Also a neat little micro brewery walking distance, across the road. Very nice staff and an RV dealer next door. Very close to I-90 and it’s noise, but that comes with the easy access."
$40 - $200 / night
"At the time of our visit I-90 was being rebuilt nearby so access from the interstate was more difficult, but this isn’t the fault of the campground."
"Location is right on interstate and easy to find. Not for nature lovers."
Travelerclean and lit up bathrooms and showers. Average campsite for $33 a night with a fire pit and picnic bench. super smelly probably due to farmland, would comeback to check out some of the bouldering nearby
TravelerHelpful Park staff. Clean & well kept grounds
TravelerVery helpful park staff, clean park.
TravelerSite was level. Trees surrounding area. Electric hook up but no water. Flush toilets with showers very nice.
ScoutWhen we pulled up it popped into my brain "this is how camping should be". Okay, loaded comment, I know. I liked seeing people spending time together, playing games, campfires, relaxed. Picnic tables, clean, simple. Its near the highway so there is road noise but nothing that kept me from sleeping. I booked by emailing and they emailed back to confirm. When you arrive there is someone at the main office who gets you situated with payment a and your site. We will be back when coming through next time.
LegendWe followed our GPS getting off I-29 at exit 79 in Sioux Falls and going straight west on hwy 42 for about 20 miles to the sign for the right turn to go up to the recreation area. It would have been just as easy to catch I-90 west as well. At the main/west campground, we followed the sign for the East Campground and turned left at the white recreation sign right at the bottom of the hill. Passing the boat ramp, we saw the pull-along sites (49-62), which are small and close to the road accurately described in forums as not big-rig friendly. The fresh water fill spigot is in a large pull-out on the right, past the boat launch and just before the 10 mph sign. The dump station is in the West Campground. We continued to the end loop and backed into site 43 (50/30/20 AMP), which was easy thanks to its corner location. As soon as we had settled in, the very friendly camp host come over to check us in. We had already paid the $30 a night plus $10 nonresident reservation fees, to find out starting this year we needed to pay a non-resident $15 a night state park fee or $60 for a year pass. We were able to purchase, choosing a yearly, online and the host gave us a temp sticker for our window. Our site was spacious enough for our 40 5th wheel and F450. The electric hookup is at the back; we needed about 30 of cord. All sites here are electric only and nicely spaced apart. Site 43 offered a beautiful lake view, which we enjoyed during our peaceful four-night stay in early May. Verizon had 3 bars, T-Mobile had 2, and our T-Mobile house internet clocked 207 Mbps down/ 3.49 Mbps up. Satellite reception should be fine in most sites except site 45, which is heavily shaded. There's both a shower house and vaulted toilets in the east area. Spring was coming alive with gobbling turkeys and cackling pheasants; we even got a show from a strutting tom turkey. Overall, a quiet and scenic stay with great wildlife viewing and lake views.
ScoutCampground has water and electric a dump station available. Very basic But works for overnight while traveling
TravelerSouth Dakota is known for its well-maintained state park campgrounds, and this area offers two great options: King and Queen. Queen is nestled in a wooded area with limited visibility to the sky, offering a more secluded experience. In contrast, King, a recently built campground, sits on the prairie and provides beautiful views of Split Rock Creek. Both campgrounds offer excellent hiking opportunities for the whole family. King also offers free Wi-Fi with a download speed of 22 Mbps, while Queen has no T-Mobile service. However, King provides 15 Mbps of service.
GuideNice small town campground. Road construction going on right now is the only downside but it is that time of the year. Nice clean bathroom and showers. Friendly staff in the clubhouse. Right next to the golf course. Very reasonable rates for daily, weekly or monthly. Will definitely be back.
