    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

    Clean, quiet, well-maintained

    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??

    Kennebec KOA

    Clean, Friendly , No frills

    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.

    Kennebec KOA

    middle of nowhere gem with friendly hosts

    I love the Kennebec KOA! I stayed here for the first time last October on my way to the Badlands. It was my first KOA experience and it was wonderful! because I got there late, I stayed in the one-room simple cabins instead of pitching my tent. Those things are rad! The bathrooms are clean and the general store has good stuff. The camp hosts are really friendly and welcoming. I stayed here again in July (again on my way to the Badlands) and will always stay here if I’m close to Kennebec on a road trip.

    Close to the interstate for easy access, yet surrounded by Sourh Dakota corn fields

    An excellent choice for staying if traveling across South Dakota. The sites are gravel, but are all pull through. Most are full hookup, but there is a on site dump station for those with electric only. The swimming pool was an absolute total plus for a hot July day. The park owner Nancy is a fantastic host. Definitely a stay again park

    American Creek Campground

    Nicely maintained.

    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.

    Beautiful campground with spacious sites

    We would visit this campground every weekend if we could. It’s right within the city of Chamberlain but you don’t realize it once you enter.

    Our site was spacious with lots of room to move around and the tree coverage is perfect for privacy.

    There is only water & electricity for hookups but the dump station on site is located right behind the office on your way out of the grounds.

    Storms do pop up unexpectedly (one did while we were there) but if you have a canopy - like we do - the rain rolls off & you can sit an enjoy everything cooling off because of it! 😁

    Kennebec KOA

    Great stay along the way

    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.

    A Little Crowded, But Nice Views

    Basically a nice parking lot with trees. Nice walking/bike trails. Small beach area, lots of rocks! View out across the Missouri River was nice!

    Just a quick stop

    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.

    AMAZING

    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.

    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.

    Walk in camping at your own risk: buffalo, storms

    The storms in the area just appear. We've gone camping out here twice and both ended very scarey. Beautiful area but also not worth it to go back for a third time. Don't need to die in a storm out there now. Your just very exposed, almost like being on a mountain top.

    Ok spot in a pinch

    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.

    Good views

    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.

    Maybe good for an RV

    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.

    Neat location. But the cottonwoods...

    This is a great campground on the west band of the Missouri River. Very nice and well kept facilities but beware there are lots of cottonwoods and at times during our stay it looked like it was snowing.

    Access to this area is off highway 44 but be prepared for several miles of minimally maintained dirt road (with some big hills) to get there. I'd stay here again but I'd also research when the cottonwoods are not shedding their seeds.

    Great Option

    Was perfectly situated on our way from our trip to the Badlands/Black Hills. The camp was located right off the highway so had a little bit of traffic noise. Had all the necessary hook ups. A solid option.

    Good for one overnight stop

    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😆
