"Beach, walking paths, fishing and golf nearby.
Quiet and well manicured."
"Kinda cool to say you SUP'd from South Dakota to Nebraska with a beer on the board.
Bathrooms were clean and had showers. Garbage and recycling on premises. AT&T signal was strong."
"This is a very comfortable location with power, water and a nearby dump station. It's an easy walk to any place in town. Also a go jumping off point for all of Boyd County..."
"Some noise from the highway which is right by the park but it wasn’t bad. There’s a playground for the kids. We had our two dogs with us and didn’t see any signs about no pets."
"Nice spots, beautiful lake and beach, not crowded at all. Only negative point is it’s close to the street. But since there is not a lot of traffic it was pretty quiet."
"Don’t we all dream of that perfect camp with no one else around? Give this place more credit. I do see a reserve for the 4th Of July weekend and that is to be expected."
$22 / night
"A wooded campground, about .25 mile walk/drive to the river. Clean bathrooms and vault toilets. Nice shoreline to stroll along with dogs. Saw mountain lion tracks along shore..."
"Pease Creek Recreation Area is off the Missouri River out in the middle of nowhere but if you are a water/fishing person it is worth the drive for a quiet, laid back vacation."

GuideThe campground is located in the city park. All 5 sites have 20, 30 and 50 amps and sewer. Water spigots are found at every other site. Gas, diesel and a small grocery store are nearby. The sites are $20 per night.
TravelerSeems like many long term stays. Biggest issue was there was no place to put your trash. It’s a bit far from town. Not walking distance but nice and quiet.
RangerReally nice campground. Shelters at each site. Picnic table and fire rings, too . Washroom was clean and stocked. Sites are nicely spaced. There were stairs down from our campsite to a gravel beach. Water was warm in Lake Francis Case on the Missouri River.
GuideWater and electric with pad and picnic tables and trees for $20! Also some tent sites. Nice place for an evening or morning walk to stretch legs around rodeo arena, between baseball fields and then around and small pond. Self serve payment envelopes. A handful of other campers around the CG that has about 16 (?) sites
TravelerGreat park. You do have to pay to shower though. Make sure you make it to the scenic overlook in the cabin area. There are beautiful views of the Missouri River!
RangerI didn't camp here, but I stopped as I was passing through. There are two camping areas, one area has 3 spots, this area is a little more private if you are the only one in this area. There is a little bit of road noise, you can see the highway through the trees.
The other area is a wider open space. It is farther from the highway and will have less noise.
The sites have water and electric. I only saw a 30A plug on the one I checked but other sites may have 50A.
There is a downtown area a short distance away, probably a 5-10 minute walk.
Verizon and T-mobile were pretty slow here, but usable. On Verizon I got about 6Mbit down and 3 up. On T-mobile I got 5 down and 1 up. Both were 4G signals.
ScoutNice place to camp .Clean restroom clean campground. Fishing , eagle watching, quiet and peaceful
LegendThis is a dispersed campground that allows stays up to 14 days. This is a beautiful place. Trees are beautiful. The lake is beautiful. If you're a fly fisherman, this place is paridise if you can't get to usual fly fishing locations.
There is only one piece of playground equipment for children. It is a merry - go - round that swings as it goes around.
Pit toilets are filthy dirty and smell horrible.
Pads are uneven and made up of dirt or gravel in a couple of locations. Lots of tree shelter in the campground. Fire pits and elevated grills in each camp spot.
Lots of walking trails.
Sadly, I will never go back. The other campers were rude, arrogant, loud, drunk, filthy mouthed, and looking for fights. Generators ran all night and day. Night time bonfires were huge and out of control.
We got there, and there was one other camper, and it was delightful. The situation changed quickly, and in my humble, modest opinion, this is not a place for normal decent people. We did not feel safe at all.
P.S.
There is absolutely NO cell service in this campground.
LegendIt is expensive in that you have to pay the same price OFF SEASON as you do regular season. You don't get water, flush toilets, showers, or clean pit toilets, but you pay for it as if you do.
Pit toilet cleaner came by during our stay and left 2 rolls of toilet paper. He didn't bother sweeping or cleaning the floor. I'm glad I have to pay full price for that! (SARCASM)
The pad was asphalt, and basically, level.
50, 30, and 20amp service was available. Garbage drop-off was also available, I say that because in SD, it isn't always there.
We did see some incredible wildlife. Eagles (mature and immature) by the dozens. Hundreds of cranes. Dozens of pelicans. Hawks. Deer. Geese, ducks, and turkeys. At dusk, coyotes howled around the fringes of the campgrounds. It was wonderful.
Lots of locals walking their dogs (unleashed), so heads up on that.
Pickstown is a very small village about ½ mile from the campground, so some things can be purchased there at an elevated price.
It was quiet. The night skies provided intense views of the stars.
Rigs big and small will have no difficulty getting around in the park.
A dump station is available. We didn't use it, so was the water on???
Firewood is available at a sin for a price. Little split sticks for an astronomical price. Shameful.
Nice place, but the greed makes this place not so enticing.
