Best RV Parks & Resorts near Geddes, SD

Pease Creek Recreation Area provides electrical 50-amp sites for $26 per night with full hookups, sanitary dump stations, and accommodates big rigs on 23 sites. North Point Recreation Area offers similar RV accommodations with 30-amp service, maintained gravel pads, and water access for boaters looking to explore the Missouri River shoreline. Both recreation areas remain open year-round, though water systems typically shut down from October through April. Hills RV Park in Plankinton features pull-through sites with level gravel pads that can accommodate larger rigs without disconnecting from tow vehicles. "Really nice pull through sites with water, electric and sewer. $30 per nite. Some shady sites. Very little road noise."

Several RV parks in the region require advance reservations during peak summer months, particularly for weekend stays. The narrow country roads leading to Pease Creek may present challenges for oversized motorhomes and fifth wheels, with one visitor noting that "the road in is a very narrow country road meaning the camp and road are better suited for smaller rigs." Most parks offer partial hookups with electric and water, while sewer connections vary by location. Cell service remains reliable near interstate-adjacent parks like White Lake Lodge & RV Campground but can become spotty around the more remote water-based recreation areas. Pets are generally allowed throughout area campgrounds, though leash restrictions apply and dedicated pet exercise areas are limited.

    River City Campground

    Did Not Meet the Mark

    We had read that this campground (CG) could be confusing to find, but following our GPS and the confirmation email instructions, we had no major issues. Coming off I-90, we turned right at a Food Mart and followed the road and“River City” sign through a small industrial area that borders the CG. Per the email, we drove straight in and went to our assigned pull-through site 90 with full hookups. The gravel site was level, with utilities placed toward the rear and the sewer hookup at the very end. We needed 20’ of sewer hose. Water pressure was decent (~45 psi) and the 50-amp electric worked well. After setting up, we picked up an envelope from the info board that his additional CG info by the one-room shower house and paid the required $50 cash for our overnight stay. The email mentioned we could contact the camp host if needed. We had 2 bars on Verizon and 3 on T-Mobile. There would be no issues with satellite reception—there are no mature trees. There’s no CG Wi-Fi. There’s one row of pull-through sites that are packed tightly together. This seems to be where the overnighters go. Each has a metal-wheel fire pit, but if your neighbor lights a fire, it could be dangerously close to your rig. Our site had no picnic table, although most others did. This is a newer CG still under development—some grass and patios were going in, likely catering to seasonal boaters and full-timers (based on the number of older rigs). There’s no designated dog area, and green space is limited. The grounds currently feel more like a dusty parking lot, and we noticed heavy truck traffic on the entry road during the day. Most of the CG sites are back-ins with better spacing between sites. The CG is a few miles away from the interstate so none of that noise. There’s a pleasant view of nearby hills. We often travel through South Dakota and were hoping River City could be a destination stop. This time we were here to see the Dignity of Earth and Sky statue. At $50, and with the current layout and conditions, it wasn’t worth it—even just for an overnighter.

    Paulson RV Park

    RV, tent, and mobile homes

    They had long term parking for campers not hooked up to anything and long term parking for full hookups. No dumping station because most the sites all have sewer. Were able to hook to water through the winter as well. No one else around could hook us up to water. Super cheap too. $200 per month for long term plus electric you are responsible for and $15 per day for short term. Cheaper if you are just going to park or pop a tent.

There are different types of AIS and they are being spread by several methods. Boaters, of all types, help spread or help stop the spread by taking care of their watercraft. Before leaving a boat launch practice the CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY technique. Many states require a AIS permit before you place watercraft in the water.

    Hills RV Park

    Close to the interstate for easy access, yet surrounded by Sourh Dakota corn fields

    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

    Modern Campground — Niobrara State Park

    Tree shade and spacious back in.

    Nice camping for extended stay of 14 days. Different length back in sites with picnic table and fire ring with grill. Camp host available. Handicap pad sites. I would have given a five star except for the cost!

    We think $30/day for just electric is expensive but we’d been boon docking so we sprung for the expense for 3 nights. Showers are extra😳. Laundry available.

    Little town of Niobrara, just a few miles away has limited shopping but a nice little grocery store, hardware store, museum, and fuel.

    Confluence of the Missouri and Niobrara Rivers.

    Nebraska State Parks have walk up and reservable spaces. We usually risk it and easily found a walk up on a Monday afternoon after the weekend crowd left.

    We stayed in the RV campground but took a bike ride around the rest of the park. We stopped at the park office and chatted with assistant superintendent Nate. Very nice guy with lots of good info.. He told us about a nice loop we could continue our bike ride and we went around the picnic and tent area. Some incredible exclusive sites and great views of the Niobrara.

    R & R Campground

    Couldn’t ask for more from a highway stop

    This is a full-service campground directly alongside I90. Even though it’s adjacent to the interstate, we really didn’t hear any highway noise. The park has full hookups with both 30 and 50 amp sites. The water pressure is great and the water/sewer connections are well-placed. The sites are level and many are well-shaded. There is a small convenience store with ice and a couple of other essentials. There are restaurants and other amenities within walking distance. Everything is very clean — the laundry room is spotless. The host, Julie is exceptionally hospitable, friendly and accommodating. If you’re just passing through or just want a centrally located spot from which to explore the area, you’re unlikely to find a better spot.

    Mitchell KOA

    Family Friendly Stop Over

    We stayed at the Mitchell KOA one night as a stop over on our way to Custer, SD. The feature we liked best is that all RV, 5th Wheel/Camper sites are set up as pull through. We called while on the road to see if they had any open spots, and they got us in for the night:) The campground hosts were very welcoming and friendly. There is an outdoor pool, but it was pretty crowded (With temps in the 90's who could blame anyone!!!) and they have a cute little miniature golf course too!! This is a pet friendly place with a large fenced in area for your pets to play in. The only drawback we saw was the lack of trees for shade and privacy. You can literally shake hands with your next door neighbor while sitting at your picnic table.

"This area provides all types of water sports, winter sports, wildlife viewing, fishing and hunting," notes one visitor who appreciated the diverse recreation options.

Wildlife viewing: The riverside campgrounds provide opportunities to observe native wildlife. "We were delighted with the company of 4 Bald Eagles. Hundreds of migrating Canadian Geese," reports a winter visitor who stayed in December when the area was nearly empty.

Horseback riding: Horse trails are available for equestrians with proper documentation. "You will find a fire ring picnic table horse corral vault toilets water spigots. Generator may be used from 8 am to 9 pm. Dogs must be on a ten foot leash. Make sure out of state horses have proper documentation for health."

What campers like

Riverside camping spots: Waterfront sites provide memorable views and direct water access. "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," reports a visitor to North Point Recreation Area.

Affordable camping options: Paulson RV Park offers budget-friendly rates for both short and long-term stays. "Super cheap too. $200 per month for long term plus electric you are responsible for and $15 per day for short term. Cheaper if you are just going to park or pop a tent."

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept amenities. "Campground was empty showers hot, rest rooms clean and stocked will come here again," notes a visitor to Pease Creek Recreation Area who appreciated the maintenance standards.

Quiet atmosphere: Despite full occupancy during peak season, many campers report peaceful conditions. "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."

What you should know

Seasonal closures: Water systems at most campgrounds close during colder months. "We were here from December 08 through 12, 2024. Bathrooms and showers, along with water faucets, are all shut down for the season," reports a winter visitor who found Pease Creek Recreation Area operational but with limited services.

Road access challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult approach roads. "The road in is a very narrow country road meaning the camp and road are better suited for smaller rigs," cautions a reviewer about access limitations.

Site variations: Campgrounds offer different site sizes and hookup options. "When you are making reservations check site size because there are different lengths," advises a camper at North Point Recreation Area.

Aquatic invasive species prevention: Big River Marsh RV Park and other waterfront campgrounds require boaters to follow clean, drain, dry protocols. "If you put a vessel of any type into the water please CDD. Clean, Drain, Dry for prevention."

Playground access: Select campsites near recreational amenities for convenience. "Camp site was near beach, fishing dock and playground for the kids!" recommends a family who enjoyed North Point Recreation Area's family-friendly layout.

Cabin options: Famil-E-Fun Campground & RV Park offers alternatives to tent camping for families wanting more comfort. "We stopped at Betts for a night on our way to the Black Hills and it was a great stop. The Corn Palace is near by and our kids had a great time in the outdoor pool."

Outdoor pools: Some campgrounds maintain swimming pools for children when river swimming conditions are unfavorable. "The outdoor pool" was highlighted as a major attraction for families, with one visitor noting it was "a very friendly family owns the place."

Activity variety: Campgrounds often provide multiple recreation options within walking distance. "Firing range, lawn games, biking, swimming, boating, volleyball, disc golf" are available at certain locations, allowing families to engage in different activities without traveling.

Tips from RVers

Full hookup availability: White Lake Lodge & RV Campground provides complete services for self-contained camping. "Full hookups at sites. Some road noise since the interstate is close by," notes a camper who appreciated the amenities despite the highway proximity.

Site leveling: Most RV sites feature gravel pads requiring minimal leveling equipment. "I stayed in a pull-through site #5 which was mostly gravel and pretty level - about 2" on one side with Anderson levelers," reports an RVer who found the accommodations adequate for overnight stays.

Winter camping considerations: Electric service remains reliable year-round at most campgrounds. "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," notes a December visitor to Pease Creek Recreation Area.

Cell service variability: Mobile connectivity depends on proximity to towns. "Verizon connection was good and I could stream live TV on Hulu," reports one camper, while others mention that service becomes less reliable in more remote water-based recreation areas.
