"Overall this park is average the sites are level and grassy limited shade sites tho, showers and bathrooms are close by and it’s quiet except the occasional train."
"Not too far off of I-90 (30 mins.) when traveling through South Dakota.
Tent camping center of town without electric is free. Pads with electric are$15."
"A great well maintained spot in the middle SD farmland near a peaceful lake.
The long dirt/gravel road surrounding was fun to navigate after a thunderstorm, but not too bad at 35mph."
"Lake was beautiful and boating was common. Saw some watersports, lost of people fishing from boats."
"This is a truly magical place, and if you’ve ever read any of the Little House on the Prairie books and are anywhere near De Smet South Dakota, do yourself a favor and swing by."
"For $30, we had W&E, fire pit (firewood not sold), picnic table and free access to the homestead. Bathrooms were so clean and smelled like cedar wood. "
"Well-maintained facilities, the team was very friendly and helpful, and the location provides easy access to I-90 and downtown Mitchell."
"It's located very close to the highway (tho no noise). Decent sized pull thru sites with lots of big shade trees. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Did not use the pool. Small camp store."
$15 / night
"There were 2 open spots when we arrived Friday afternoon (in the main camping area, anyway; there are other electric-only sites near the tennis court that we did not look into). "
"Great location near highway so some traffic noise"
"Very easy to get a sight, close to food and general shopping. Right on the edge of town bit so there's a little traffic noise, but still feels woodsy."
"I called for a site as we were driving and he said he had availability. We were a late check in but he waited for us and gave us a site right near the entrance which was nice."
"Just off the highway but the noise is minimal at best. Great shade and friendly staff."
TravelerA great well maintained spot in the middle SD farmland near a peaceful lake.
The long dirt/gravel road surrounding was fun to navigate after a thunderstorm, but not too bad at 35mph.
It took a minute to find as the gps coordinates took me to a private property. Twin Lakes, Lakeside Use Area might work better.
Just turn right off of County Road 7, if you’re heading east, once you get pretty close, and after you’ve made your “deal with the devil” at the 4-way stop, and it’s only 100 yds or so.
There were a ton of obnoxious flies, as mentioned in another review, but only in the daytime. But they were not the biting kind. At nighttime, the insects were fine after applying a little repellent.
If you’re just looking for a free, quiet place to crash for the night, this site is definitely worth the drive off the freeway.
No water or electric, or picnic tables, but each site does have a fire ring. The park also has 2 vault toilets.
TravelerBeautiful location on the north shore of Lake Thompson. Some sites face the lake, others have shade with enough open sky for your StarLink dish. Beach access at the campground. Great fishing spots with cleaning stations available. For history buffs, campground is less than 10 miles from the Laura Ingalls Wilder homestead and De Smet. There are 4 dump stations near the campground entrance with multiple fresh water hookups around the campground. Staying here mid-week and there are few campers here.
TravelerCan't give them anything more than 3 stars unfortunately. We arrived late afternoon for a simple overnight stay. They're literally on Main St. In the smallest downtown I've ever had the pleasure of spending a night. They have a in ground swimming pool. That's been closed and drained in the not so distant past. You'll have a rare opportunity to wash your clothes at their laundromat. The machines are dated yet clean in good working order, a definite plus for many. Even though they're located in a downtown area. It's still dark enough to get a view of the night sky. Campsites are close together. With a tree shading your camper helpful for keeping cool. A small "yard/patch" of grass at each campsite. Our rigs length truck and camper connected is 47'. We were able to pull thru the campsite and park. Without having to unhook. For a simple overnighter that was just another plus in their favor for us. Other campers were just as friendly as the people who owned and ran the campground. Don't expect to do any shopping. There's a Dollar General directly next door. For any basic needs if your so inclined. For us in a nutshell. The price to hookup to electric and water for a overnight stop. Made it a good spot to stop. They do also have sites with sewer hookups available for a higher fee.
ScoutWe stayed one night on our way to Custer. We have a roof top tent so we stayed in a tent camping spot, there was plenty of room and a beautiful view of the sunset!
ScoutLovely, shady campground, office staff very helpful and polite excellent laundry facilities, clean bathrooms, and showers. They work hard at keeping the place immaculate. One downside no pool. They advertise the pool some places, but they can’t remove it because it’s on Google. They say a year or so ago, they had to take the pool out due to major damage and the expensive cost of replacing it. Now they have a lovely barbecue patio with tables with umbrellas to sit out and enjoy the day free barbecue grill for customers use.
ScoutI was only going to stay one night, ended up staying a second. Very easy to get a sight, close to food and general shopping. Right on the edge of town bit so there's a little traffic noise, but still feels woodsy. The grounds hosts are awesome and really good out of their way to make sure you have a wonderful stay. Overall I really loved my stay.
TravelerSmall campground with mature trees and excellent shade. Friendly and helpful staff. Occasional truck noise from the interstate.
TravelerIt was a nice pull-through sight very close to the interstate, but we did not hear interstate sounds. They had washers and dryers area was very clean, it was a little confusing pulling back to it. Because you have to go through a parking lot and past an old hotel. But I felt it was marked well. There were a few campers here but didn't see anyone. It was a good place for a night or two if you're visiting the area or just traveling through.
GuideThis is very new campground. Opened in July of 2024. It is close to two lakes. Lake Whitewood and Lake Thompson. Very good fishing at both lakes. You are within 10 minute drive from fishing, swimming and boating on 2 fun lakes. I will be staying here for the summer of 2025 and looking forward to it. The owners are very friendly.
