This is a nice campground for an overnight on the way to Custer. It’s a Bono’s the freeway, so there’s none of that noise, just some from the main road. Sites are level and well marked, although somewhat small. Most have full hookups, and there’s a nice tent area. Very friendly host. Older bathroom/shower, but it was very clean. Had some hiking trails that weren’t super maintained, and the lake in Augusta was green with algae. Overall would stay here again if we need a short stay.
Nice swim area, pretty campsites, especially the tent areas that sit high over the lake and have pretty views of the water. Nice bathrooms and park. Very friendly park host, she came and introduced herself and welcomed us quickly.
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.
The host here is the sweetest, busiest woman I've ever seen! The campgrounds are nice and shady. Restrooms and showers are clean! Price is very reasonable. $29 for tent site with electric.
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 ... ??
Small, nice campground. It worked fine for our 42 ft 5th wheel. We stopped at Corn Palace which is basically a sports arena and did not take long. There is a playground at the campground for the kids. I did not rate it 5 stars because it does not have a Lot of amenities.
Stopped here as a last minute stop after having a great steak dinner at the Cattlemen’s Club. Camp host were super nice and helpful. Let us move the picnic table to get our off-road Boreas into the site. Bathrooms are clean and bug free. The only draw back was we were on the corner by the group tent site and it was non-stop traffic from 10pm to midnight. I guess the forgot to teach the Boy Scouts camp etiquette, that you don’t walk through another’s camp site to get to facilities. Our German Shepherd popped her head up and growled each time someone walked through our camp site.
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.
Had a nice stay here. Free hot showers were a welcome sight after the long hours on the road from New Hampshire. Only issue was that our visit was perfect timing for “black fly” season! Yikes! They bite something awful and they were everywhere! Eyes/nose/ears and don’t let them get into your tent/camper or you’ll be sorry! 😄 Best site here was hands down #15 with a really nice view of the lake. Be sure to check out Corn Palace which is just down the street, a bit. https://youtube.com/@skywaystohighways
Great location near highway so some traffic noise
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.
We were right by a very busy road and the sites are very close together….our next door neighbors couldn’t even open their awning due to lack of room. The camp host (I THINK he was substituting) was very unfriendly and unhelpful. The lake had toxic algae bloom (NOT anyone’s fault) so if you’re planning on water activities, you might want to check first. I do believe there were other bigger sites and definitely ones away from the road.

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
Great campground! Picked a spot overlooking the lake...secluded (nobody else in our area) really impressed by the water pressure on the water spigots! Can't imagine there's a better campground in the area
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
We tent camped for one night! Had nice showers and bathrooms. Also had coin laundry on site. Playground for kids and swimming area in lake. There was hazardous algae in the water when we went, so couldn’t swim.
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.
