Tent Site

Cabins are super cute and fit the price. $55/night gives you AC, electricity, and a bed (2 twins, 1 full). Great view from the cabin deck. Verizon works good. Close to the swimming beach and vault toilet.
Nice campground along the river with tent and full hookup sites.
Big sites. A lot of room between sites. Well maintained dirt road to access recreation area. Spacious campground. Very nice.
Perfect place to unwind. Large, well spaced out campsites. Beach, walking paths, fishing and golf nearby.
Quiet and well manicured.
The electrical boxes are so buggy and cobwebby and dusty that it's hard to find a properly grounded working electric box.
The women's bathroom is designed to be a single stall bathroom with shower, but the lock doesn't even hold the door shut properly bc the wood of the door frame is gouged out where the sliding bolt goes for the door. Had to prop my cane up under the door. An employee barged right in and acted offended when I mentioned someone was in there ... ??
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.
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.

This is a beautiful park but a bit confusing to get to. Once you turn off the highway you will pass a couple of boat ramps and then a private campground on the right side. Continue on and the campground will be at the end of the road. There are several water sites and I don’t think you will find a bad site. When you are making reservations check site size because there are different lengths. Campground is well maintained
Trails: North Shore Path is a 1.2 mile loop and is good for all levels mainly used for hiking.

Better than when you found it
Stay safe Happy travels
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.
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
This is a beautiful campground to visit. Nice size lots, and lovely scenery. We enjoy fishing, walking the trails, and seeing the wildlife.
This is a really good camp site we have camp their for a long time. It has good bathrooms
This was a very pleasant surprise. I normally do not go to campsites (that is put in for context) but was passing through on a business trip and needed a place with electric hookups. After a Harvest Host disaster I found this. Like I said, very pleasantly surprised. While there were a lot of campers who seemed to be setting up elaborate sites with everything you would need to live there for a year (laundry lines, flag poles, pens for their dog), I was able to get a spot that backed right up to the beautiful river and had plenty of space on all sides. The campsite was surprisingly quiet for how large it was. The sunset paddle boarding on the river was a real treat. Kinda cool to say you SUP'd from South Dakota to Nebraska with a beer on the board.
Bathrooms were clean and had showers. Garbage and recycling on premises. AT&T signal was strong.
Leave no trace.
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.
Beautiful and peaceful setting on the Missouri River. If you pick a site on the water (as we did) you can enjoy a beautiful sunset over the Missouri River and the rolling hills of the southern shore. Most sites have some shade as well, which was a pleasant surprise for the area. Although the park was full when we visited (July) we had plenty of space on either side of us and it was surprisingly quiet given that the camp was full. The grounds and facilities were clean. Plenty to do: Boating, fishing, swimming. Lovely campground.
Excellent
It is a nice place and has a nice playground.
Camp site was near beach, fishing dock and playground for the kids!
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.
We found this place to be quiet and peaceful. It has been dealing this year with high water and water damage to campsites and trails but the facilities are nice. The staff was helpful and courteous and we enjoyed our stay (4 days and 3 nights). We pleasure boated but fishing is a big deal here and the area is not commercialized. The water was mostly calm and warm. The boat docks were in good shape and easy to access. There are bike/walking trails but not very long. Pickstown SD is right next door and offers limited commercial establishments because it is 225 population. Nice beaches here but some were impacted by high water. The Fort Randall Hotel and Casino is close by for some food and entertainment.
