American Creek Campground

Don't be put off by the rules it's a well managed and maintained campground. Good size sites, clean facilities. Jess was very helpful.

The campground is well laid out, a little bit tight but normal for a tourist spot. Level asphalt pads for RV’s. Nice clean showers and bathrooms.

Some sites are sitting so they look directly over the river, not sure how to reserve one of those sites. Site 37, 33 and 32 are beautiful sites overlooking the river.

Good water at the sites. 50, 30 and 20 amp electric service.

I was at site 15, it is a little short, I had to park my truck in the grass next to it.

Just staying overnight and the campsites worked perfectly for our needs.

Top words that come to mind are: picturesque, shaded, spread out and CLEAN!

Absolutely love this campground and I assure you, you will too!

I found this campground to be clean, and the sites were spacious, and the view of the Missouri river from my space was terrific. Very helpful check in and very clean bathrooms. Highly recommend!

Booked this campsite for an overnight. The location on the river is amazing, and the grounds are well-kept. Clean fishing pier, nice boat ramp. Site 36 is a shaded back-in sight ~80ft long with water and 50/30/20. Would be a great spot to spend a summer weekend.

We’re only here for one night, but I wish we’d booked more

Honestly, this is a nice campground. There is water available at every site. 50-30-20 amp service as well. With the exception of the water at your site, this looks and feels just like a South Dakota campground site, and it costs more than twice as much as SD campgrounds. I don't wish to sound nasty, but campground fees are out of control. $60.00 a night for what you can get for $26.00. I just don't know anymore. Anyway, this is a nice campground. If money is no issue, spend all you have here.

Clean and nice setting alongside river.

Real nice along the river! It’s really spacious, and the site had everything. A picknick table, fireplace/bbq and full hookup

Truly one of my very favorites. Right on the Missouri, with a swimming beach that’s perfect. Spacious spots. Close to the 90. You can stay until 2:00 for an extra $10. Zero downsides.

We would visit this campground every weekend if we could. It’s right within the city of Chamberlain but you don’t realize it once you enter.

Our site was spacious with lots of room to move around and the tree coverage is perfect for privacy.

There is only water & electricity for hookups but the dump station on site is located right behind the office on your way out of the grounds.

Storms do pop up unexpectedly (one did while we were there) but if you have a canopy - like we do - the rain rolls off & you can sit an enjoy everything cooling off because of it! 😁

We stayed just one night and didn't have the opportunity to experience all this campground had to offer. We had a pull-through site in a part of the campground that felt more like a parking lot. The rest of the campground had more trees and space. It's a beautiful area, right on the river. The kids loved the playground and taking an evening dip at the beach. We took a quick drive into town to eat a Upper Crust.

Basically a nice parking lot with trees. Nice walking/bike trails. Small beach area, lots of rocks! View out across the Missouri River was nice!

Good facilities available for use. Perfect views of the river. At the beach there is kayaks and paddle boards available for rent which is the perfect addition to a great campground.

The storms in the area just appear. We've gone camping out here twice and both ended very scarey. Beautiful area but also not worth it to go back for a third time. Don't need to die in a storm out there now. Your just very exposed, almost like being on a mountain top.

Ok spot for the night, close to the hwy. Free camping on the water! Only has a few actual campsites with tables and fire rings. There is a toilet but no other amenities.
