    Fisher Grove State Park Campground

    Beautiful Campgrounds.

    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.

    One of the better KOAs

    Well-maintained facilities, the team was very friendly and helpful, and the location provides easy access to I-90 and downtown Mitchell. It's a great spot to spend a couple of nights recharging if on a long trip-- the 24-hour laundry room is a nice touch for that. Or use it as your base to check out the world-famous Corn Palace. The sites and roads have plenty of room to maneuver in and out of and if you don't book a site with sewer, the dump station is easily accessed. Also, even though you're close to I-90 and the campground is on SD 38, you don't really hear road noise so it's quiet for sleeping.

    Hofeman's Haven & Campground

    Has cabins and RV sites

    I arrived last night and stayed in a cabin. The cabin had cute decor. It is a dry cabin so no bathroom or kitchenette But the bathroom is right next to the cabin. Bathrooms are clean. Hope to stay in one of the rvs with a bathroom and kitchen the rest of my stay

    Lake Mitchell Campground

    Great overnight stop

    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.

    Lake Mitchell Campground

    Lovely campsites along the lake

    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.

    Love the quaintness!

    Love that there are only 4 sites. We stayed here with family and had 3 of the sites. Beautiful land! Our suggestion if you stay here is, pull in the parking lot and back up the driveway to the camp sites. Unless you have a small vehicle and camper, it is tricky to get turned around if it is full. $20pp to tour the property for the whole time you are staying. Check out the dugout, house, barn, schoolhouse, church and garage.

    Lake Thompson Recreation Area

    Great beach & campground

    This campground has both electric standard sites for campers and tent sites. Two shower houses and multiple vault toilets throughout the campground for accessibility. Walking trails in grass or gravel. Three walkways down to the water’s edge with one being a large swimming area. Boating is permitted as well. Be sure to use bug spray as mosquitoes were all over- maybe due to wet weather. This is a natural lake formed by farmland that flooded in the 1980s.

    Lake Carthage Lakeside Use Area

    We stayed overnight here

    2 fire pits. 1 porta-potty. Open area you can camp anywhere. No water, no electric, no dump station, no potable water.

    Town is 2 miles away, and they have a free dump station. Town also offers free showers. The laundry mat is available next to showers.

    One mile out of town is a paid campground at the Lake Carthage campgrounds.

    In town at the city park is a paid campground ss well.

    Nice stop over

    We stayed one night on our way to North Dakota. Campgrounds were mowed and picked up. Water at our site. 110, 30amp, 50amp hook-ups at 3 of 3 sites. Pit toilet that serves as a storm shelter (not overly clean). Large sites, back in. 3 picnic shelters. Right off Highway 281. Surprisingly, not that noise. Playground for kids.

    Great little campground

    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.

    Wonderful Campground

    Reserved a spot at Dakota Campground the day before arrival. Reservation was a snap to make, and the price was outstanding. Full service pull through sites fully shaded. The next morning, when hitching up trailer had a problem with my hitch mechanism. The owner, Josh was so helpfull in assisting me with repairs and even made a custom part for the hitch. He got us in the road and his help and generosity was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Dakota Campground.

    Great

    We just picked up our teardrop and this was our first stay on the way home. They could not have been more friendly and helpful. We got lucky making this our first. Bathrooms immaculate. Site level. Downwind from the cows wasn't always great but it got better. Definitely would stay again.

    Twin Lakes Campground

    Great camp next to lake.

    It was a bit out of the way from the interstate. Even passed one 4 way intersection in the middle of nowhere where I'm pretty sure you could make a deal with the devil. Lol. Camp had plenty of spaces, most with fire rings. Vault toilets. Lake was beautiful and boating was common. Saw some watersports, lost of people fishing from boats. And the most spectacular morning of watching the flocks of birds diving at the water to get food with the morning colors in the background I've ever seen. So don't miss that early morning coffee to see that show. Only problem we had, was it was near cow and horse pasture and there was literally poo on the road before camp. Being so close to that, the flies were the worst we have ever experienced in our lives. While we did stay 2 nights for free, we had to sit inside our bug canopy and still had to have a fly deterrent (swatters, hand towel, whatever) to even manage. Tip: cook outside your bug canopy, or you draw the bugs inside your canopy. All said, a great camp minus the bugs which may or may not be the case when you go. Also, there isn't much fuel to be had in the area, so be sure to have plenty of gas before you head that way.

    Good stop in an emergency

    We were headed home from visiting our kids in Spokane and blew an engine on I-90. The tow truck driver helped up find this place, and towed both our Jeep and travel trailer 80 miles to get here. The manager helped us find a repair shop that only needed 3 days to find and replace the engine. This campground has lots of RV and tent sites. They have a pool, and mini golf. Mitchell is home to the Corn Palace. If you haven’t been there don’t go!

    They pay attention to the details

    Best KOA we’ve been at. The bathrooms are colorful and the shower benches are nice and the showers are rain shower heads. It was raining and the bathrooms were dry and clean. The shop was well stocked with needs and wants. We almost adopted the stray cat there too. Good luck Mr Fuzzy Popcorn!

    No issues

    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.

    RV Trip

    We were passing through and needed a last minute place to stop. Mark was a very helpful host and takes the time to set you up in your spot. The entire team was very friendly. We also enjoyed the dog and kid friendly atmosphere.

    Loved this place so much we stopped again on the way back!

    Great stop on the way to the Black Hills

    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. The bathrooms were nice and the camp sites had shade and space. A very friendly family owns the place.

    Quiet Campground

    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.

    Good for overnight

    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.

    Great! Will return!

    Great location. Has golf and playground for the kids. They clean bathrooms after checkout time, at 11am. No assigned tent spots, but lots available and on nice grass, with tables and a firepit. This KOA has everything. Bathrooms are clean and have 3 stalls and showers. Staff stayed late to help others. Great spot!

    Great Little Place to Stop

    This is a great little stop over campground for anyone making a trip across the state. We had planned to stop in Mitchell and stay at the Walmart on our way to Badlands, but saw Dakota and decided to give it a try. Full hookup sites, swimming pool and a small arcade for the kids. Definitely recommend this campground if you’re looking for a quick overnighter.

    Great spot!

    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
