We were there at a very quiet time. It's a pretty, well maintained park with two bath and shower houses. I think it may be a little snug for some at the busy time of the year. I've of the things I really like is that the shower stalls have a private area in front of them with a sink for shaving or whatever allowing you to do what you need without taking up space.

This is one of those little gem syate campgrounds. Shade in sites 11e - 12e - 13e and 14e are an absolute delight when temps get around the 90°F mark. Bath shower house open during peak season only. Pit toilet year round. Water the same, shut off after peak season. Tall older healthy trees, what a joy. Back in sites with exceptions of 13e, 14e. Dump station located at entrance of park. Potable water is located just inside the park. In my humble opinion sites 11e, 12e, 13e and 14e are the superior choices of this campground. 50-30-20 amp service at each site. As of this post, $23.00 a night.

This is a small 5 site in town campground. It is connected to a large city park. Each site has 50 - 20 amp service. Each site has water and sewer. Picnic tables are available. No fire pits. Garbage dumpster next to campgrounds. Old and new trees on site. Bathrooms have a great deal to be desired. They are dirty and smell horribly. I've used pit toilets that are cleaner and fresher smelling. Night light next to bathrooms keeps area lit up at night. You need to back into sites from the street. Big rigs can get into 4 of 5 sites without interference from over hanging tree branches. Sites are paved, but they are old and starting to break up. It is located in a nice area.

Beautifully shaded campground. A very large park to walk in. Sites are small, and each site has 2 campers, so your camper rear is nearly touching the next person's rear of their camper. Bathrooms are clean. No showers. Sites have 50-30-20 amp service. Honestly, this is NOT big rig friendly. The dump station is available. The water station is available across (the campground) from the dump station. Very busy road on west boarder. No fire pits. Tight maneuvering around the park. City maintenance building is here, so there is always lots of traffic. Picnic tables at each site.
GuideWe spent one night at Faulkton City Park where there were six hook-ups (10, 30, and 50 amps). Bathrooms were very clean (bathroom doubled as tornado shelter), park was well-kept with nice playground and gardens. Camping is donation-based, water wasn’t turned on for season yet. Small grocery store and fuel nearby.

Small campground. Well maintained. It was fun to explore the historical buildings. A couple of wild turkeys came by in the evening. Only downside is that campsite was fly infested. It was pretty clean so I think the flies came from horse areas.
Guide
Nice, level campsites. Electrical hook-ups. Showers and flush toilets. $20. Campground host. Well kept and clean. Dump station. Wouldn't necessarily know that you were right in town. Quiet evening!
ScoutGreat, clean park for families with young kids. Numerous playgrounds scattered all over with a small theme park. Sites have full hookups which make long stays more enjoyable. Will visit again!
GuideSo we’ll taken care of. $26 with electric.

An economical little spot within the City of Webster. Water and dump station available. Close to grocery, restaurants, and liquor store! Nice community pool amd park too!!
TravelerWe stayed here for a hunting get away. Shower building was great. There is a dump site but no water or sewer hook ups at the sites. Still a good town and campground.
ScoutAlmost boondocking! Water, dump station and super inexpensive!!!
TravelerPlace was full for the pheasant opener in October. Electric hookups only. No water or sewer. Has a dump site though and nice showers and bathrooms.
GuideFt Sisseton is A small, quit, friendly park. We have stayed there a number if times. The staff are always helpful. The campsites are clean, well groomed, and spacious. The backrooms and showers are clean. There is a lot of outdoor advantage in the area. It is worth the trip.
GuideGreat campground with storybook park right next door.

This is your basic campground in the middle of town when your visiting nearby or passing through . There are no campground activities or amenities...well, there is a dump area and potable water spigot. No shade, no toilets, no shower. But it’s free ;) Grass, electric hook up , the picnic tables are a little worse for wear. And DO NOT CLEAN YOUR FISH in the campground or on the tables please. Useful but not a destination campground !
LegendDrove through Webster, SD on our “Westward Ho” adventure. Typical town along the way with necessary amenities.
There are no camping sites in the City Park, however at 1st St E and 14th Ave E you have two camping options. These are just camping spots w/electric. There are several spots along the road on a paved area or there were several grassy, older looking sites right across the street. The second area had a dump site, potable water spigot and small pavilion with one table in the middle. No shade anywhere but grass and a somewhat fenced lot. No toilet either. You stop at the City Liquor Store (convenient) or City Hall for a permit. The one area said it was free.
GuideThe main campground itself at Wylie Park is rather attractive with mature trees and reasonable site spacing (there's a secondary North Campground that's newer with less mature vegetation). Pricing is a little high at $36+/night for FHU, but the reason folks come here is for the park's other amenities including Storybook Land, Wylie Lake, go-carts, bumper boats, mini-golf, etc. This place is a kids' paradise.
Which leads to the situation on weekends: this place is positively overrun with kids. Kids crying, kids riding their bikes through your campsite (and ill-informed adults, too). The geese in the waterfowl pond adjacent to the campground made quite the racket, too, but that didn't bother us. The kids did. Fine if that's your thing, but to a couple of 50-somethings without kids anymore, this was annoying.
Midweek, though, the place was terrific, maybe 50% occupied. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

Some nice spots, some are to close to each other. Nice hiking trail. Kids love the beach.
GuideWhile we're staying in the Aberdeen area we took time out today to scope out the campground at Mina Lake State Recreation Area, and it is absolutely beautiful. Well-spaced sites, nice grassy lawns, and most sites back up right to the water. As the facilities list says, sites are electric only but there are water hydrants spaced throughout the campground. They were unfortunately booked when we tried to reserve, for that would've been a stellar stay.
TravelerWe found this area and decided to stay at this campground. So glad we did!! Beautiful area. We stayed a few days longer than we originally planned because we loved the area.
ScoutVery nice quiet campground when we stayed in May. Campground Host on site
GuideGreat place right next to Storybook Land. Very clean, well laid out, everyone was very nice.
