    Great One Night Stay

    We had a great one night stay when we were passing through O’Neil on our way to South Dakota. Cute town, ok bath house and a cute play park with swings, etc. Quiet at night. The road into the campground was a little busy during the day due to the construction on the main road into town. The campground road connects to other parts of town. Would stay here again but only for one night probably. It was great having electric and water hookup.

    Camping on the River

    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.

    Small quiet city campsite with concrete pad. Bathrooms needed cleaning

    One night stay as driving home.  Flush toilet with W/E hookup. They are doing road construction and they have road completely torn up and one way section of road into campground.  Quiet for one night. We ate dinner and then breakfast in city as convenient.  Nice small campground.

    Employee all but kicked the door down on me.

    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 ... ??

    Very nice

    Really nice campground. Shelters at each site. Picnic table and fire rings, too . Washroom was clean and stocked. Sites are nicely spaced. There were stairs down from our campsite to a gravel beach. Water was warm in Lake Francis Case on the Missouri River.

    Quit park, full electric pad, and water. The bathrooms and shower were not open yet. Locked my keys in the truck. The O’Neill Police opened my truck, within 20 minutes. I noticed they also patrolled the area.

    North Point Recreation Area

    Lake Francis Case and North Point Recreation Area

    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.

    Very nice overnite spot

    Water and electric with pad and picnic tables and trees for $20! Also some tent sites. Nice place for an evening or morning walk to stretch legs around rodeo arena, between baseball fields and then around and small pond. Self serve payment envelopes. A handful of other campers around the CG that has about 16 (?) sites
