      Great Campground

      This campground is one of our favorites. It’s got clean restrooms and showers, plenty of water available plus the dump station. Nice lake for fishing or kayaking. Great trails for hiking or mountain biking. Super quiet place and some pretty great sunsets!

      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.

      Great city park spot

      Great overnight stop on our way through Nebraska. This city park has 5 RV/trailer pads with water and electric hookup. Suggested donation of $10/night. Right in the middle of the small town of Osmond. Bathrooms and playground with plenty of space to run. Just off the main road, but was quiet.

      A field around a lake near a speedway

      In 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.

      Quiet and safe. Been twice now

      We live(my dog and I) on a motorcycle - think Van Life on two wheels. A quiet place to put up a tent is so welcome. There are no amenities. It's strictly dry and pack out but a great place for a few tents or a couple vans. Highly motorcycle travel recommended

      Big spacious campground

      Big 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!

      Great for a night

      Had a grassy & shady tent site. 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. Wish we had more time to explore the park itself because there was lots of hiking/waking trails. Overall no complaints

      Great Simple Free Spot!

      I found this on Campendium and google maps. It's a great little free park where you basically just park wherever. No designated spots, just park in the grass. The grass was not overgrown or anything, and there's a great little paved path that leads into town. Verizon cell service was pretty good and the park itself wasn't too crowded either. I imagine that the local county maintains it. Also tons of mulberry trees around! And be sure to go into town and pick up a breakfast sandwich and some donuts in the morning, it's a lovely walk in.

      Calm and Peaceful

      Level blacktop sites. Flat campground. Fishing, playground, nice dump station. High tree canopy, large old growth trees. Aluminum picnic tables. Commercial fire rings (not an old truck wheel). Very nice, would camp here again.

      Viborg City Campground

      Great one night lay over.

      This is a 3 site campground. 7 day maximum stay. No water, no garbage. 30 - 15 amp service only. Sites 1 and 2 are shaded until mid afternoon. Site 1 is shaded late afternoon. Locals bring their dogs out to "run." They don't pick up after, so watch your step. We are ¼ mile from highway and semi's Jake break a good deal, so it's quite until they go through. For a one lighter, this is a good cheap place to stop.

      Clean campground

      This is a nice clean campground. Full hookups. 50 - 30 - 15 amp service. Can be noisy next to busy city street. Large shade trees line between the 6 sites offered. Grills at each site, but no open fires allowed. Long cemented drives great for large rigs.

      Quite location

      $20.00 a night gives you 30amp service. Picnic tables, grass site. There is only one grill in the campgrounds, and that was located on site L. You have to call the number pictured, and police will come and unlock your electrical box. They will also take your money if you wish to pay them directly. They spray for mosquitoes, and they were not a problem while we were there. Many local dog walkers, they leave many, many land minds around. You can have shade in the morning, but for the most part, all sites see sunshine throughout the day. Nice place. I should mention showers are free. Bathrooms are clean and just across the road from where you can camp. Dump station is also just west of the bath house.

      Nice

      Nice little city campground just a few miles off the interstate and right next to the Missouri River. Quiet large sites at a reasonable price. Picnic tables and fire rings. Water and electric only....there is a sewer dump near the bathrooms but not at the sites.

      Nice trail system, near river, well-kept

      Electric, water, and dump station available here. In the trees, shaded, and a short walk along a pleasant trail to the Missouri River. The trail system, which is accessible from campground, is great. We were in site 18, which is near the playground. In busier months, that part of the campground could get loud.

      Pretty quiet park

      This was a very easy safe spot to spend the night. New sign states $10/night, second night is free. Unfortunately, I could not figure out where the city office is. According to Google it is in the corner of the park, but that looked like a shit down old car shop. Would have loved to pay since they provided electric hookups!

      The previous listing that says it's by a lake is wrong, that is "Burbach Campground" this is "Burbach Park".

      The camping pad can be a bit hard to see, it was covered in leaves when I got there so I didn't see it at first, but it is right at the gps location on the listing.

      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.

      Clean, well maintained

      Stayed overnight here on my ride to Sturgis. The park was very well taken care of with plenty of space for lots of campers and tents. The grass is mowed and nicer than my yard. It is otherwise primitive camping with no amenities like toilet, shower, water. It is close to a country road with occasional traffic. ATV’s are apparently popular as a few came through and were noisy but it was relatively quiet after 11p. I was one of two people there. The park is located just outside of a quaint small town with a couple mom and pop restaurants and a gas station. The townsfolk I encountered were very friendly. I felt very safe at this location. There is a sign at the gate to the park that states camping is only allowed between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

      Nice Area!!

      Huge level areas. No “designated” spots, that said, pull up a spot and set up. Will accommodate big rigs, but is dry camping. The place has a concrete boat ramp for jon boats and kayaks. No facilities. Good trees and walking paths.
