 You will find gravel pads, level with some mature trees and many trees have been planted around the campground There is a new bath house and very clean. Many lake sites and lake views. Since the campground is fairly flat a lot of the sites have water views.

110-30-50 amp hookups plenty of space between sites. Bathrooms with showers. Playgrounds located throughout the campgrounds. Along the Missouri river. Some sites back into river view. But not a long walk to the beach area. About 10 cabins right on the river. Tent/RV/Cabin camping you will enjoy yourself

Great for kids. Kayak rentals. Playground and beach area. Bike paths. Limited mature trees. Mostly smaller trees. State Park with entrance fee. Roomy sites with electric only. Dump station. Quite a few bugs here. A few cabins available.

Every year in May, we return to Oahe Downstream and usually get site 196 facing the River. The bird watching is wonderful here and the Bald Eagles will put on a show for you. The area is picture perfect. This area is very popular. There is a swimming beach, a nice playground, hiking trails, and great fishing spots. In this campground they also offer cute cabins. The bathrooms/showers are clean as is the campgrounds.

Oahe also offers an archery range, shooting range, disc golf and horseshoe pits, a marina and bike rentals.

Our site is $19/day for Electric and we usually get good cell service here.

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.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. The best spots are 194-196. They are back in sites and we have a large window on the back of our camper and get to look at the beautiful river. Great bird watching and lots of bald eagles. The sites are electric only but you can fill water before you come in. Sites are spacious with gravel. There is a picnic bench and fire ring at each site. This campground offers 8 cabins and tent sites also. The grounds and restrooms are kept up well. We came in September so there was hardly anyone around. Very peaceful

This beautiful campground has rentals galore! Handbikes, canoes, paddleboards, so much fun!!! Plus a well maintained beach and facilities and an awesome staff!

We are on an east/west/east trip. We were looking for a state park on the water that was on our route. We were so lucky to pick this one. A beautiful state park on Lake Oahe. We lucked out and had a site right on the water. Campsites were big with plenty of room to tie out both of our big dogs. Hubby could walk out of the camper and fish. Campground 3 would be my choice overall as it has a row of sites right along the river. Bathhouse immaculate. Showers great. Good walking paths for humans and dogs and saw many folks cycling. Only downside which couldn’t be helped are all the flies. Take a fly swatter and fly traps/ tape. Days later and down the road we are still finding flies in our camper!

This campground lies just below the Oahe Dam on the Missouri River and offers lots of opportunities for boating activities of all kinds. With over 200 sites there are plenty of options for everyone, from large trailers to small tents. Showers (cost included in campground fee) and bathrooms are sparkling clean and warm.  Water spigots are scattered throughout the campground and nearby. 

All reservations must be done through their online system (http://travel.campsd.com/Reserve-A-Campsite) or over the phone, although there is a campground office open during the day. We arrived late without a reservation and found the smartphone app non-functional and needed to call in order to make one, which cost us another $2. 

In the prime campgrounds (flush toilets & showers), electric sites are $21; in the preferred campgrounds, electric sites are $19; and non-electric sites are $15. The $5 per day entrance fee is not included in the reservation.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. I look forward going to. We always get a waterfront campground and since we camp during the week when school is still going there’s hardly anyone there and it is truly a very peaceful place. Love watching the bald eagles. There’s lots of trees and shade.

There are 2 campgrounds in this area. They are Electric only, have picnic tables and fire rings and are fairly level. The area is clean and well kept and the showers and toilets are also clean. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. We were able to get cell service here and there was plenty of room between sites.

This area is great for Bird watching, hiking, fishing, and relaxing. We stayed in Campground 2 for a bit the 3rd week of May and I would advise people to go earlier or a week after. We couldn't control nature but the cottonwoods were dropping their seed pods and they were sticking to everything, including in between my dogs pads of their feet and it was hard and painful to remove them. Just 1 week and it would have not been a problem. Otherwise this is a wonderful place to visit.

We love going to Oahe Downstream Campground every year. We have camped in both Campgrounds. Campground # 2 is closer to the river so it feels much cooler than Campground 1. Lots of things  to enjoy if you have kids or even Teens.  They have a 18 hole Disc Golf coarse . Bring your bikes because you can ride to the trailrace area or around the campgrounds.  There are other biking & hiking areas with in the area and Pierre Sd. You can go kayak or visit the beautiful Butterfly garden. If you love to camp in the fall this is the place beautiful foliage and always quiet.

We stopped at Oahe Rec Area during our family vacation in Aug. 2019. Nice, well kept campgrounds with playground & good places for the kids to run/explore. Only drawback was, when we were there, the swim beach had a bunch of dead fish everywhere. Someone had picked all of them up from the beach, but you could see the indents of the fish & see them on both sides of the swim beach area. On our way out, we stopped at the butterfly/flower garden where a park staff was tagging butterflies. We got to join in the fun - was such a cool experience for both my son & me!

This campsite was a wonderful stop for us on our way home from our road trip. You can book these campsites online, but there were plenty of spaces available if you don’t have cellphone service. You do have to pay to enter the recreation area in addition to paying for your campsite. The campsites were spacious with well kept restroom facilities. I only wish we could have spent a few more nights so that we could enjoy the beach. I feel like this would b the perfect stop for families!

Great Electric RV sites right on the water.

Site was flat and easy to use. Shade is limited but there are some less mature trees that will eventually make this campsite fantastic. Park staff wasn’t very helpful, didn’t give us a map or any information about the area. Camp fees DO NOT include park entry

Everyone here at this park was really nice. We had camper trouble and they were able to help us. The sites were spacious and clean.

Great campground

Our scouts stopped here on the way back to Montana. Nice quiet campground with plenty of room. Great shower facilities.
