This is a very well maintained campground. We were here from December 08 through 12, 2024. Bathrooms and showers, along with water faucets, are all shut down for the season. We stayed on site 9 and enjoyed the shelter all the trees provided. Wind was 24 mph gusts hit 45 mph and didn't affect us at all. Sites are gravel and, for the most part, level. We didn't require any leveling blocks at all. 50 - 30 - 20 amp service with no errors at the electric box. The pit toilet was reasonably clean and stocked. Small playground for children. Small picnic area down the road between sites 8 and 9. Sites 4 and 8 were covered with large seed pods from the trees. I imagine it would sound like branches hitting your camper when they fall in the fall. We are not far from the Missouri River, and we were delighted with the company of 4 Bald Eagles. Hundreds of migrating Canadian Geese. Walking paths are available along with a boat ramp down the hill. Cost is the same in nearly all South Dakota State Parks, $26.00 a night. Seems costly for no water, flush toilets, showers, or garbage dumpsters. This is a nice place.

Much Semi traffic, so it's been kind of noisy (right next to highway). Fire pits full of junk. Good overnight stay. Sites have 30-20 amp service only.

I was here on a Wednesday night. Only one other person here. Very quite location. They have 2 sites that offer 30-20 amp service and short pads. 3 sites have 50-30-20 amp boxes. Well mowed, no litter. Right next to town.
ScoutEasy to locate. Turn into city park. Five total campsites. The first two are in the right, directly on the road into park. The other three are further down on left. They are a larger area. Directly across from a football field and track. It is a suggested $20 a night.

Updated shower and toilets. Bring your quarters for shower. Views of the Missouri River were amazing. Enjoyed a hike with the interpreter. Worth a stop for sure.

This is a relatively new campground. Trees are young but hold promise. Lawn care is immaculate. Sites are level gravel pads. 15 - 30 - 50 amp service. Water, sewer, and WIFI at each site. There are 71 sites to choose from. This campground can be found on Facebook. There are no showers or bathroom facilities at the campground. Payment can be made at the bar just north of the campground sites. Also, volleyball, pizza, and chips at full bar can be enjoyed. There are no fire pits, but you may use your own fire pit if it is contained.

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.
Guide
Relative to North Point Rec Area, this campground and day use beach were significantly less crowded. All sites seemed to have some shade, picnic table, and fire pit.
Guide
The campground upon entrance is way more compacted than the one down the road where you have a little more space from your neighbors. Verizon works good, nice shower/flush toilet facility.
Guide
Nice campground along the river with tent and full hookup sites.

There are 9, possibly 10, back in camping spots. $25.00 a night, which I thought very reasonable for all they offer. Bathrooms with showers. Water and sewer at all sites. 50 - 30 - 15 amp service at all sites. Picnic tables and fire pits with grates at all sites. Picnic area with cement floors and cover. Dogs across the way are noisy, but we hope they get used to things and quite down. Money for stay needs to be brought downtown to a bar, or you can call a number, and so.eone will come out and pick it up. Grass is very long at the sites, which seems to encourage the bugs and mosquitoes .

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

Great little city park. Showers/ restrooms were clean. I'm not sure how many sites in total. I know 5 were concrete slabs, the rest gravel. It's a little confusing in price/ paying. There is a box that says $10 donation. A sign that says $15 donation. The donations go towards the park.
Traveler
One individual restroom and shower. Full hookups at sites. Open field with campsites next to each other. Some road noise since the interstate is close by.
Traveler
This is a very comfortable location with power, water and a nearby dump station. It's an easy walk to any place in town. Also a go jumping off point for all of Boyd County...

The stay at Loves is awesome,very friendly people in Loves,free showers,full hookups,we booked 3 nights online so we could go see everything in and around Chamberlin,there’s tons of sites to see it’s only15-20 mins from Kimball
RangerPerfect place to unwind. Large, well spaced out campsites. Beach, walking paths, fishing and golf nearby.
Quiet and well manicured.
TravelerThey want $50 for the night. They only have electricity, No water. Trucks are too loud! We drove on by.
ScoutThe 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 ... ??
ScoutThe spot is very clean and well kept. There was a fire pit with firewood and starter. However this spot is no longer free, it is $15/night. Still a very good deal for the location.
GuideNice spots, beautiful lake and beach, not crowded at all. Only negative point is it’s close to the street. But since there is not a lot of traffic it was pretty quiet. Bring your insect spray and enjoy 😉
TravelerNiobrara State Park is fantastic. Very clean and put together. Everything is mowed well. Paved camper lots. Little park for kids. Horseshoes and sand volleyball. Bathrooms were cleaned everyday. My only complaint is that the lots are kind of close. Not a huge deal but would have been nice to have a little extra space. Overall, awesome place and we will be back!
Traveler
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.
ScoutClean and quiet campground . Not much to do, but great for quick stop
ScoutClean, convenient campground with friendly people including staff and fellow travelers.
TravelerReally nice stop on our road trip and will stay again for sure.

It’s a city park, a play ground. Portapotties on site. Found it on Dyrt so we are hoping it’s okay to boondocks here. There are no signs saying you can’t park overnight, but also no signs saying you can camp. Guess we will try it.
