Best Campgrounds near Groton, SD

We were there at a very quiet time. It's a pretty, well maintained park with two bath and shower houses. I think it may be a little snug for some at the busy time of the year. I've of the things I really like is that the shower stalls have a private area in front of them with a sink for shaving or whatever allowing you to do what you need without taking up space.

This is one of those little gem syate campgrounds. Shade in sites 11e - 12e - 13e and 14e are an absolute delight when temps get around the 90°F mark. Bath shower house open during peak season only. Pit toilet year round. Water the same, shut off after peak season. Tall older healthy trees, what a joy. Back in sites with exceptions of 13e, 14e. Dump station located at entrance of park. Potable water is located just inside the park. In my humble opinion sites 11e, 12e, 13e and 14e are the superior choices of this campground. 50-30-20 amp service at each site. As of this post, $23.00 a night.

UPDATE; This is now a private club owned campground. No public stays are permitted.

I was hoping to stay here a couple of nights, but the electrics are all locked up and no one around, no phone numbers to call, no way to get them unlocked. No price info. Outhouse is very, very run down. The rest of the campgrounds is stunningly beautiful. Maybe another day in the future we can stay.

This is a small 5 site in town campground. It is connected to a large city park. Each site has 50 - 20 amp service. Each site has water and sewer. Picnic tables are available. No fire pits. Garbage dumpster next to campgrounds. Old and new trees on site. Bathrooms have a great deal to be desired. They are dirty and smell horribly. I've used pit toilets that are cleaner and fresher smelling. Night light next to bathrooms keeps area lit up at night. You need to back into sites from the street. Big rigs can get into 4 of 5 sites without interference from over hanging tree branches. Sites are paved, but they are old and starting to break up. It is located in a nice area.

Beautifully shaded campground. A very large park to walk in. Sites are small, and each site has 2 campers, so your camper rear is nearly touching the next person's rear of their camper. Bathrooms are clean. No showers. Sites have 50-30-20 amp service. Honestly, this is NOT big rig friendly. The dump station is available. The water station is available across (the campground) from the dump station. Very busy road on west boarder. No fire pits. Tight maneuvering around the park. City maintenance building is here, so there is always lots of traffic. Picnic tables at each site.

This is a very well maintained campground. No litter. Roads are level. Sites are gravel back in. Night lights (located between sites 10 - 11 and 3- 4) light up the north and south ends of the campgrounds very nicely. I counted 5 (spaced around)working water spigot for the 12 sites. Sites have 50 - 30 - 20 amp receptacles. (Site 11 was my first choice, stop, but it registered an open ground in the electrics.). Site 10 was fine. Playground has swings and a slide. There is also frisbee golf. The little lake has a boat dock and seating around it. Picnic house has electrical plug-ins and all the picnic tables (8). Sadly, the sites are very short. From the front of my tow vehicle to the back of my camper is around 22 feet, and both barely make it into the site.

Clean facility, lovely view and fall colors

Small campground. Well maintained. It was fun to explore the historical buildings. A couple of wild turkeys came by in the evening. Only downside is that campsite was fly infested. It was pretty clean so I think the flies came from horse areas.

Great, clean park for families with young kids. Numerous playgrounds scattered all over with a small theme park. Sites have full hookups which make long stays more enjoyable. Will visit again!

So we’ll taken care of. $26 with electric.

Place was full for the pheasant opener in October. Electric hookups only. No water or sewer. Has a dump site though and nice showers and bathrooms.

Ft Sisseton is A small, quit, friendly park. We have stayed there a number if times. The staff are always helpful. The campsites are clean, well groomed, and spacious. The backrooms and showers are clean. There is a lot of outdoor advantage in the area. It is worth the trip.

Great campground with storybook park right next door.

This is your basic campground in the middle of town when your visiting nearby or passing through . There are no campground activities or amenities...well, there is a dump area and potable water spigot. No shade, no toilets, no shower. But it’s free ;) Grass, electric hook up , the picnic tables are a little worse for wear. And DO NOT CLEAN YOUR FISH in the campground or on the tables please. Useful but not a destination campground !

Busy/Full campground with alot of activities. Campground has canoe rentals, playground, beach, Disc Golf course, hinking path to an island and two boat docks.

Sites are nicely spaced on the west side. There are two separate areas. Only the east side has a dump site. Some sites on the west area are rather sharply angled. Well-maintained. Friendly staff.

The main campground itself at Wylie Park is rather attractive with mature trees and reasonable site spacing (there's a secondary North Campground that's newer with less mature vegetation). Pricing is a little high at $36+/night for FHU, but the reason folks come here is for the park's other amenities including Storybook Land, Wylie Lake, go-carts, bumper boats, mini-golf, etc. This place is a kids' paradise.

Which leads to the situation on weekends: this place is positively overrun with kids. Kids crying, kids riding their bikes through your campsite (and ill-informed adults, too). The geese in the waterfowl pond adjacent to the campground made quite the racket, too, but that didn't bother us. The kids did. Fine if that's your thing, but to a couple of 50-somethings without kids anymore, this was annoying.

Midweek, though, the place was terrific, maybe 50% occupied. Staff was friendly and welcoming.
