Wonderful Campground

Reserved a spot at Dakota Campground the day before arrival. Reservation was a snap to make, and the price was outstanding. Full service pull through sites fully shaded. The next morning, when hitching up trailer had a problem with my hitch mechanism. The owner, Josh was so helpfull in assisting me with repairs and even made a custom part for the hitch. He got us in the road and his help and generosity was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Dakota Campground.

Great Little Place to Stop

This is a great little stop over campground for anyone making a trip across the state. We had planned to stop in Mitchell and stay at the Walmart on our way to Badlands, but saw Dakota and decided to give it a try. Full hookup sites, swimming pool and a small arcade for the kids. Definitely recommend this campground if you’re looking for a quick overnighter.

Great place for over night or to unwind for a few days. Just off the highway but the noise is minimal at best. Great shade and friendly staff.

Dakota Campgrounds

My sister and I were passing through from Wisconsin. We needed a place just for the night to put up our tent. We called and got a site. The host was super helpful. Nice little place right off the highway. :)

Great place

This is a great little campground just off the highway. They were some of the most friendly and helpful people. I had intended on staying in my tent but when I got there she said that there was a cabin open and I took that. The cabin was a great little place with cold AC but bring your own sheets. Pool was awesome and the bathhouse was very clean. 2 things to point out you turn off on gravel about 300 feet from the intersect mot a big deal but I was on a motorcycle. And due to the lack of rain it was very dusty. Still a great stay and would come back.

Nice campground, friendly owner

We stayed here for a night on our way back to Wisconsin from Yellowstone. I called for a site as we were driving and he said he had availability. We were a late check in but he waited for us and gave us a site right near the entrance which was nice. We didn’t use any their facilities but it was a clean, well maintained campground. Also, it was just off the highway which was nice.
