This campground is mainly used by hunters in the fall. Sites are mostly for small RV’s, trailers, or tents. The park has a lot of mature trees which causes problems with overhanging limbs in the road. One side of the park has younger trees and it is easier for larger rigs to maneuver and there is more of an open feeling. Pads are fairly level. Bathrooms and even the pit toilets are very clean and did not smell, even had hand sanitizer.

Site was well maintained. There are several water sites for great views. There are hiking trails in the park. Camp is set amid the rolling hills showcasing the beautiful crops and ranches of SD.

35 miles southeast of Pierre off SD Highway 34. Nearest town is Harrold, SD

Super helpful and friendly staff, clean bathrooms, well-maintained sites. Gorgeous views of the Missouri River. The only negative was the amazing number of flies. It was hard to cook with the flies diving into our pots and pans and biting us. It was my first trip to South Dakota. Maybe flies are a thing there??

Very nice site with clean bathrooms and showers. Some sites have shade. Well maintained and the owners are very friendly. Convenient location and just a short drive from the highway. Some road noise but not bad at all. The wind was very slack the day we stayed so the mosquitoes were out at night. Would 100% stay again if traveling thru South Dakota.

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.

This KOA in Kennebec has been a good stop over for us when traveling through South Dakota. Kennebec is a sleepy town off of I-90, and this KOA seems to be the life of the town.

The staff has been welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. The facilities seem well cared for and clean. For our stays we have just been passing through and have opted for pull-thru sites with full-hook ups to keep it easy and we have never had to disconnect from our TT to get level for the night.

This KOA will probably not a destination for us, but it is a great stay along the way.

We already have a trip planned for next year across I-90 and Kennebec is on the itinerary.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Clean and nice setting alongside river.

The campground was a short walk to the hotel, restaurant, and pool. The campground is in need of some repairs. The pit toilets near the dock are not great. When I stayed there the south end bathrooms at the campground had out of order signs on them. Most of the spots here are rented out on a monthly basis and the good spots are taken. 

If I had to stay here again, I would probably just stay at the hotel and not suffer through staying in the campground.

great for picnics, volleyball, kayaking, etc. even on a rainy day!

This campsite was fine- I needed a place to stay on a cross country trip and it felt like a safe place to roll into later in the evening! It was fairly loud from the RV noise and overpriced just for a tent and pit toilet. The site is right on the river, and watching the sun set on the Missouri was the biggest pro of this spot. I would recommend this to RV’ers, people looking for a quick stop to sleep, or maybe families wanting a more developed camping experience.

It is a nice place and has a nice playground.

This is a really good camp site we have camp their for a long time. It has good bathrooms

Big sites. A lot of room between sites. Well maintained dirt road to access recreation area. Spacious campground. Very nice.

This was okay! We stayed one night passing through. Staff was friendly. Bathrooms were okay! I would not stay multiple nights!

This place has everything we needed for an overnight! Superb service and excellent customer experience ❤️

It started in 1970s. It looked like at one time it was kid friendly. It’s clean. 2 washers and 2 driers. Owners really nice. Small pool and kiddy pool. Nothing to do…. Little half block town.

Better than rest stop😆

We stayed here on our way to Yellowstone and had a wonderful site coming back we stayed again site #216. Nothing at all fancy, gravel, and a picnic table. The bathrooms were okay, not the best we’ve seen. For one night this site was fine would not stay more than one night. I wish I could remember our site # from the first night
