    Hills RV Park

    Good for overnight

    Campground is three stars for amenities. Hosts/owners get 5 stars for friendliness and helpfulness. Campground seems safe/ Sites are level. Bath house adequate and wheelchair accessible. There is shade for some spots. Wifi is spotty and slow. I would stay here again if driving thru.

    Good stay!

    We stayed at Hills RV Park 6/02/22. It's a good place to stop over on a trip. The site was level, the hook ups were great, the bathroom/showers looked good, but we didn't need them. The sites were pull-through and spaced well enough. There was a train at 3 am, but these things don't bother me. I rather liked it. There were people mowing the grass and working there until dark. It was very tidy and pleasant. I would definitely stay there again.

    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.

    Open campground

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

    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.

    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

    Okay for a night

    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

    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😆

    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.

    Nice and Quiet

    This campground was a great deal for $20 per night with Passport America.  The onsite manager is very friendly and helpful.  Most of the sites are W/E only with a dump on exit.  there are FHU available for $5 more per night.  The property is well kept and there is a pool on the property for use for an additional fee.  There is a washing machine and dryer and bathrooms.  The sites are level pull through gravel.  They do have wifi, a bit slow though.

    Hills RV Park

    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

    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! 😁

    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.

    Great campsite at West Bend Recreation Area

    West Bend is a really lovely campground.  We only spent one night there so we did not get to enjoy the beautiful lake and surrounding area.  Our campsite was great as it was right on the lake and we could wade in and swim if we liked.  Kids were everywhere having fun on the lake, on the playground and riding bikes. Facilities were clean and lots of space between campsites.  We would go back and hopefully spend more time there.

    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.

    Not much going on

    Kennebec KOA, SD

    Next to Bowling Green, Ky KOA this is my least favorite KOA so far. I can see no reason to use this KOA except as a last minute/everything else is full , one night stop. OR ITS HUNTING SEASON.zz There are two “restaurants” in local bars. A cafe that’s open mornings and that’s about it. There is NOTHING here. The staff was very friendly and answered all my questions thoroughly. The park was clean, I would call it more of a parking lot, like so many of the KOA’s and other campgrounds are anymore. This one is definitely a no frills KOA though. The dog square was set off to the side as an afterthought it would appear, with sticker weeds covering about half the small area. No shade whatsoever! If your going to take the time to put up the required fence, etc, you could at least put it in a half way decent area! The tent area seemed to be closed down and there was no playground.

    The laundry room and swimming pool were closed due to COVID. The shower was open and CREEPY! It’s amazing to me , I stop at one KOA , no masks everything is open, the next KOA, you can’t use any of their facilities and everyone is in mach one contamination suits. Camping in 2020 has been interesting to say the least!

    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!

    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.

    Easy Access

    Really nice pull through sites with water, electric and sewer. $30 per nite. Some shady sites. Very little road noise. No Bathroom or shower access. Plenty of area to walk a dog with nice grass.

    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.
