    Red Cloud Campground — Fort Robinson State Park

    For Out-of-State Visitors with a MH and Towed… Over Priced.

    This is a decent enough state park with much history regarding the fort. The FHUs are a nice touch. The older loop is asphalt and the new loop is all concrete. All sites are level and all look to accommodate a 45’ MH. But for $63.00 per night (out of state) I expected a clean site and clean grill at a minimum. There was not a fire pit at our site. In Nebraska’s ignorance, they have decided to bill the motorhome and the towed vehicle. Paying the daily vehicle fee twice because it can be driven in the park. So MH owners end up paying either $28 per day or $105 for an annual pass( again, out of state charges)….that ends in December on top of the site fee. Pull behinds and 5th wheels are not charged.

    Pony Soldier RV Park

    Quiet RV park

    Personnel were very friendly. Parking is on dirt but it’s level and well packed sand. Full hookups at each site. Everything is clean and well manicured. Electric pedestals, water spigots, and sewer hookups are in excellent condition and easy to use. Picnic tables at most sites. I would definitely stay here again.

    Chadron State Park Campground

    Fur Trade Days

    We come here every year for the Chadron Fur Trade Days, and there were plenty of campsites open, which is awesome because Fur Trade Days draws a big crowd. You can reserve sites online but must be 3-4 Days out but we just show up each year and are always able to find a nice spot. Nice main pond to do some fishing, streams that run through the area, a nice park and playground for kids to play in, an indoor 3D archery facility, a community pool with two diving boards and it has a little kid pool for those not yet good swimmers, trails for those adventures and plenty more. You'll really enjoy the stay!

    Limestone Butte Resevoir Dispersed

    Beautiful location, check weather!

    This spot is absolutely gorgeous. There is only 1 spot available from what I could see, and the road is a 2-track where I’d probably recommend medium clearance.

    Soldier Creek Campground — Fort Robinson State Park

    Busy CG, Gorgeous SP

    Busy, like 20 family reunions happening at once busy.  Facilities have only three stalls and stink.  By the road, but not much traffic so it isn't a big deal.   Sites 25-30 are the best even though they don't seem as so as they are closer to the road.  SP itself is beautiful and full of things to do.  If you want to stay near by but a more private CG look to the soldier creek CG hosted by the USDA shortly up the road from Ft Robinson

    Sheps Canyon Recreation Area

    Spacious Sites

    Nice spacious 50 amp campsites. We camped about 50 feet from the bathhouse which had four separate toilet/shower rooms which were very spacious and very clean. We were able to make the trek further down the reservoir and discovered the off grid sites. These off grid sites were very spacious and waterfront. Further down were equestrian sites with large gravel sites and private horse stalls. There was water available to fill our fifth wheel at the front of the camp where we entered along with a dump site that is not supposed to use this freshwater. We were one minute from the boat ramps. Just be aware that there is an additional fee for state parks in South Dakota. We paid $60 for a nonresident one year pass otherwise it would have been $15 per day park entry fee.

    Buffalo Gap National Grasslands

    Adjacent to Limestone Butt Reservoir

    But windy. Cactus around. Lots of birds and no amenities. Judging by the road little used gem. We camped on a little peninsula. Careful there is a 3 foot sink hole beside our van so we tied up the van. Nice in breeze on a 34' Celsius day. Nobody else around. The highway is behind a hill. You drive across the limestone butt dam to access the peninsula. It looks like the most well used spot. There are about 2-3 bars of at&t cellular service. Beware of the ticks. Our dog came back from his walk with at least 20.

    Harrison City Park

    Tight and cozy

    Like James reported, there are two very close sites with a third for handicapped. Quiet little town. My neighbor and I enjoyed a conversation.
