Beautiful + quiet

This is just off the highway, but you wouldn’t know it when you’re in the rig. Super quiet and the owners were so sweet. They spaced us out with a beautiful pull through and plenty of room. They also gave us treats for the pups and cookies for us. Nice little thoughtful dog park with water and toys. Sunflowers right there for you to enjoy. The flies were definitely out, so had to manage getting in and out of the rig quickly as a few got in.

We’d definitely stay again.

Super clean, lovely owners perfect overnight campground

Did one night here in July. Owners were so nice--recommended local farmers market, gave us some fresh baked cookies, lovely little lending library,  let us choose among 6 sites for our Sprinter Camper Van. Everything was very clean even the dog run had nice toys. This is the way little local campground should be across the U.S.

Very nice, quiet, off the beaten path

Super nice people. Gave us some cookies from a local bakery, and were helpful on places to eat. Bath house very nice. There was an odor of fertilizer coming from the fields, but it was tolerable and likely seasonal. The let me keep my motorcycle under the gazebo when it rained. Would definitely stay here again.

Very Nice Campground

The super nice and informative couple who own the campground (CG) checked us in and then we were escorted to pull through site 41 with FHUs. The site was more than long enough for our 39’ 5th Wheel and F-450 truck. WiFi was average but there were not many RVs in the park for our 3 nights stay, and we got 4 bars on Verizon. They do not have cable and not being too far from Sioux Falls, we got a good amount of OTA channels. The CG was well taken care of and very clean. We did experience flies this time of year and they were aggressive about getting inside our RV. I had some insect fogger and that worked well spraying before entering our rig. There is no formal dog park, but plenty of area around the CG to walk. The town of Salem down the road has your basic amenities and we enjoyed playing a round of golf on their 9 hole course that is decently priced.  Well run little CG that we would definitely stay at again.

Quiet, Level Spacious

This campground was a nice and easy stop on our way from Michigan to Mt Rushmore/ Badlands. The sites were level enough that we didn’t even half to unhook our trailer for our quick overnight stay. The only issue I will say is that our site was next to the “Stinky Waste” Water Lagoon and it did stink pretty bad when they started up the pump in the morning.  

Not sure about the bathhouse since we didn't have to use them.

Clean & quiet

The caretakers were Extremely nice nice and kept the place very clean. Mostly an RV park but a few nice tent sites also. Not a bad stop to break up the trip. If you’re looking for quiet in the woods, this is not it because it’s right on the road with traffic. During the late night it is very quiet. I would definitely come back.

So good I did want to tell anyone about it

We only stayed 2 nights here but could have stayed much longer. This RV campground is perfect. The attention to detail you see in this park is not something we have seen a lot during our travels. The gravel roadways to each campsite are groomed perfectly level. Art, sculptures and flower pots are everywhere. Not a thing out of place. The Wifi was really fast…the best we have seen in over 1 yr and full time camping. The office and store have ice and a wonderful selection of goodies, The park is surrounded by corn and soybean fields and is quiet. This is a real gem of a campground. Not a thing wrong with it. We highly recommend. We had over 50Mbps on our Verzion and ATT hot spot as well as the RV park's Wifi system. This place is smoked hot for internet connectivity. This park is Big Rig friendly with very large pull throughs
