    Faulkton City Park

    Donation-based, quiet, well-kept

    We 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.

    Fort Sisseton State Historical Park

    Camping in the middle of history

    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.

    Roscoe City Park

    Tables w/ grass

    Pretty decent place for a quick stop and sleep, there are scattered charcoal grills, with covered tables. There's no real parking, just a place with a bit less grass. Bathrooms are always open. There is a 3 day camping limit but overall a pretty nice place.

    Roscoe City Park

    Roscoe City Park is a welcomed surprise

    The small town of Roscoe has a nice spot, three of them, for folks like us to stop for a spell and get off the road for a much needed rest.

    The spots are near the bathroom house.

    You’re within a small neighborhood, which is a little awkward, BUT they’ve created this specifically for this use.

    Be smart, be courteous, & they’ll keep it available (for FREE) to use.

    Thank you Town of Roscoe!!

    Hunting base camp

    We 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.

    Hav-A-Rest Park

    Good base camp for our hunting trip.

    Place 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.

    Great Campgrounds

    Ft 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.

    Chamber of Commerce Campground - Webster

    Serves it purpose

    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 !

    Webster City Park

    No campground

    Drove 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.

    Mina State Rec Area

    Stunningly gorgeous

    While 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.
