Plum Creek Park Campground
Hidden Gem
This is the definition of a hidden gem. The park is well maintained with friendly staff. There are nice trails around the lake and more in the lower unit. There is disc golf and kayak rentals and a small store where you can buy ice, firewood, souvenirs, and an ice cream treat.
For extra peace and quiet, get the tent only (non electric) sites across the lake! There are a variety of sites if you want to “rough it” or not. Bathrooms are clean.
You can tell the workers here care about the park and your experience. I found 0 trash on the trails, and I usually come out with a handful.
It fills up on weekends with “seasonals” but all the sites have trees and nice shade that gives you a sense of privacy. Theres a tent site close to the playground and bathrooms perfect if you have kids.

Split Rock Creek State Park Campground
Small peaceful campground
Nice peaceful campground with large sites nicely spaced apart for privacy. We stayed in #6 (non-electric but there are lots of electric sites.) Cleanest pit toilet ever with many amenities!! Mirror, shelf, hooks, hand sanitizer, garbage can, reading material on wall listing ‘things to do’!! Showers clean too with plenty of warm water. Saw some fireflies, no mosquitoes!! We had a very pleasant one night stay.

Lac qui Parle Upper Campground — Lac qui Parle State Park
Spacious and tranquil
Lots of space between sites. There are not many trees so not much shade. Sites are gravel and relatively level, not much leveling required. Variety of sites, from group camping, primitive (no hookups), electric only, full hookups (water, electric, sewer) as well as cabins and tent only areas. Limited hiking trails connected to campground. Surrounded on two sides by farm fields and Lac Qui Parle Lake on another. There are two loops in the campground. One loop has view of the lake. Boat/canoe launch is in lower campground about 10 minutes from Upper Campground. Recycling and garbage dumpsters on site. Dump station near entrance. Verizon cell signal is poor. Pit toilets available. Bathhouse is centrally located, includes private showers. No laundry on site. Nearby attractions in Montevideo include Talking Waters Brewery/taproom, Jake’s pizza and Java River cafe (with outdoor seating, dog friendly).

Quiet. Electric. 4 sites.
Nice, easy quick in and out overnight while traveling through. Not sure if it’s plowed in the winter. No snow this year.

Sexauer City Park
Winter pass through
Driving from far north down south, stopped for an overnight that we had reservations for. Apparently when temps reach towards freezing they close all restrooms and showers (only listed on Facebook), unfortunately our RV was winterized so we stayed overnight with zero accessible restrooms or showers.

Great stay
We had a great time camping here. The shower houses were super clean(not even a spiderweb), the park rangers were nice and helpful. Really big sights with plenty of space between them. A small lake with 5 docks and a swimming beach. A few small hiking trails and a park for the kiddos.

Sunrise Campground — Lake Shetek State Park
Wonderful Campground and park
We had a great view of the lake from our tent site. Sites were very large for a state park. We had many lovely walks on the trails around the campground. Loon Island was a cool walk on a hot day. Lake Shetek had a fish kill over the winter, so our boat only got one trip out on the lake. I would definitely recommend.

Lac qui Parle County Park
Beautiful views from the Upper Campground
We had a lovely weekend overlooking Lac Qui Parle from our campsite. The lack of mature trees on the upper campground bluffs is a plus. A gentle breeze keeps the bugs down and allows for nice views. We have a 26’ travel trailer and got 2 bars of T-Mobile 5G service.

Oraas County Park
Hidden gem
Nice park. Water and electric hookups at each site. Each site had plenty of space. We happened to be the only one in the park all weekend, which was awesome. Close to neighboring towns for any essentials that were missed. Hidden gem!

Dawson City Park
Great campground
RV park and some tent sites located next to the public pool and softball field. Amenities are good. WiFi is shared with the public pool so it's very slow.

Mosquitos were awful
The park and campground are nice, but the mosquitos weren't! Stayed right after a mosquitos hatch sadly. Lake views from the campground and lots of hiking nearby!

Split Rock Creek State Park Campground
Small park with a small cozy campground
Showers and bathrooms in campground. 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.

Memorial Park
Quaint and Convenient
Road tripping and hammocking. Not so great for hammocks but we managed to hang two in site 10. Half of the site require reservations. Clean facility- large pads- electric & water. Across from river- 3 minutes from town but you’d never know it. One pull thru. Great fall visit.

Prairie View RV Park & Campground
Great Place
Very nice pull through cement pads. Easy full hook up’s, and quite. Very clean and up to date facilities. Will stay again.
Luckybreak R.Ranger
Jackpot Junction Casino Campground
Campground is level and well cared for.
I decided to boondock in the general parking lot, couldn’t see paying $40+ for one night of hookups. No showers, bathrooms etc. so not for me. I want the campground fee to be free or really cheap if I come to a casino. We like the casino and have been coming here for years.

Sexauer City Park
Ideal small campground, reserve in advance!
Although an envelope system is in use and we were told we didn't need one, reservation slips made out by the park (ON ORANGE) take precedence over the white slips (which are the duplicate layer of your registration form). After we came, found a pull- through spot open that night, filled and posted our form, we we left - and returned to a filled spot- THAT camper reserved by phone just hours earlier (perhaps while we were selecting). Fortunately we saw another spot where we could still stay hooked up. This is a really pleasant (under big oaks) electric only sites campground. 2 handicap shower/bathrooms. Picnic tables and fire rings. Little free library.

Weber’s Campground
Good visit
This campground has a good bit of seasonal workers with RV’s and you can’t beat the price. Since we can camp we don’t have to have power and water so Brian let us park and shower for 10.00. Rv’s pay 22.00 for hookup and power a night.
