    Hankinson Hills Campground

    Really pretty and quiet

    I was lucky enough to get a spot far under the trees. It was quite private and even though it was labor day weekend, it was quiet and peaceful. Good cell service, I was able to work on Friday via my hot spot. The campground is well maintained and the trail had just been mowed. Unfortunately there are stickers and poor tuck found a number of them. We still had fun.

    Beautiful stay in the grasslands

    Well maintained campground, has water and multiple vault toilets. There’s a loop for horse camping and a loop for non horse camping. Each site has a fire ring and a nice table, most spaces have trees to provide shade. Verizon works okay, not great but I had a bar or two. Can hear trains running by every so often. Only downside was the abundance of biting flies and mosquitoes.

    Great place to overnight

    There are gorgeous sites well spaced and lots of shade. Trails to bike ride around. No motorized vehicles allowed so it's quiet. Road in was good gravel. Picnic tables, fire rings and pit toilets. $10 / night. Great find.

    Camping in the middle of history

    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.

    Hartford Beach State Park

    Uncrowded and Beautiful

    Vibe: Almost empty on Monday night. Quiet natural lake setting. 

    Cleanliness: Exceptional. 

    Facilities: Updated and well maintained. 

    General spots: Good size, good spacing, ok privacy. Lots of trees 

    Our site: 20. Across from our site was a little trail down to the lake. In the evening we saw tons of fish and an otter. The electric hook up is pretty far from the picnic table/fire ring area. Have a long cord. 

    Noise: Only 4 sites were occupied out of 30 or so. Completely quiet all evening. 

    Cell signal: Good (Verizon)

    Other: Spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Cell phone pictures do not do it justice.

    Great Campgrounds

    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.

    Camp Dakotah

    A Working Mans Campground

    We reserved a spot with the idea of exploring the area from a nice quiet grass location.

    We drove in and we were met by the owner who was very nice.

    We then drove to the back where our spot was. At that point we realized the campgrounds was a man camp. Semis, heavy equipment, and discarded appliances were part of the camp area. A van was parted in our spot. The campers were with in feet of each other. No grass or trees once you are passed the office. We did not stop. We just drove out.

    If you are working construction it appears to have amenities. If you are looking for a family setting or quiet I would suggest a different campgrounds.

    Hankinson City Park

    Small town park

    4 grass spots with 30 amp electric picnic table and trash cans. Dump station at the pay box but no water. Found a business that let us fill our tanks. Bathroom across from the sites. Quiet park very nicely kept. Laundry mat across the street. Would stay here again.

    County Line Campground

    Good enough overnight

    Stayed here while moving across the country because there wasn’t much else available. It was a nice surprise that it was as good as it is. Well kept up and reasonable prices but man was it tight! Very crowded and the owner was one of those folks who wants to help you back in whether you need help or not. There is a big gas station just out of town near the highway so it’s a convenient place to refuel and recharge for another day.

    Hankinson Hills Campground

    Very quiet, well off the beaten path

    We spent a night there in the fall.  It is well off the main road but the dirt road is passable with any rig.  The sites are varied, well kept and some will fit larger rigs.  It is typical forest service dry camping.  There is a hiking trail that circles this small grassland about 5 or 6 miles long.  

    What is unique about this place is that is an original remnant of the oak/grass prairies that used to cover extensive areas where the forest met the plains.  There is grazing in the grassland but it is very quiet and no light pollution.  Cell service was actually pretty good.

    Great Overnight Stop

    Nice little stop on your travels up or down I29. Located in a cute little town, with a multitude of spots that can accommodate even the largest RV. Full hookups available, even when it's below freezing. The office has propain, ice, and some food supplies available. Bathrooms & laundry. The spots are mostly side by side, with grass patches between though there are bigger campsites available. A gas station with multiple fast food options is located just down the highway. Would definitely stay here again when traveling through.

    Big Stone Lake State Park

    A nice gem

    Have spent a great deal of time at this park. Beautiful sunsets, lots of wildlife and nice trails. Fishing is free from the park boundaries with lots of shoreline. Great access to the lake if you have a boat. Only 7 miles into town for forgotten supplies or a specialty coffee. Con, flies can be an issue and the wind has an open shot from the south.

    Cleanest campsite

    Didn’t expect much in graceville but we were blown away. Situated right between a lake and a golf course. Very clean camp sites. Had a blast.

    Nice place!

    This was a nice find! Sites pretty close together, especially those in the middle. Some, however, were right on the lake or had paths that lead to a picnic table & fire ring closer to the water. As another reviewer mentioned, one of the loops has sites that are not very level. It was not a problem though. Trails seemed nice & it was a nice surprise to find the dock & bridge near our site. Beach was nice! It was a decent walk there, but at least had a trail to the beach. Nice playground too.

    Chamber of Commerce Campground - Webster

    Serves it purpose

    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 !

    No campground

    Drove through Webster, SD on our “Westward Ho” adventure. Typical town along the way with necessary amenities.

    There are no camping sites in the City Park, however at 1st St E and 14th Ave E you have two camping options. These are just camping spots w/electric. There are several spots along the road on a paved area or there were several grassy, older looking sites right across the street. The second area had a dump site, potable water spigot and small pavilion with one table in the middle. No shade anywhere but grass and a somewhat fenced lot. No toilet either. You stop at the City Liquor Store (convenient) or City Hall for a permit. The one area said it was free.

    Silver Lake Rec Area

    Beautiful campground

    Very nice and well taken care of campground that surrounds silver lake. You could tell that the groundskeepers take a lot of pride in how well kept it is. Our site had a gravel pad that required very little leveling with very nice grass surrounding it. Our site had water and electric hookups however we shared a post with our neighbors and each post had one 30 amp and one 50 amp plug so you’ll need an adapter if your neighbor is already plugged in to 30 amp service. There was a very nice swimming beach and what appeared to be a new playground for the kids. There is a north section that is apparently for quiet people that don’t stay up late and south section for all the others. Dogs are welcome but must be cleaned up after and kept out of certain sections of the campground. I will defiantly be back

    Nice facility

    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.

    Great small lakeside camping

    This was a nice little find! Two small loops in the campground with some sites along the water. Only electric on the inner loop. We stayed at site 2, which was nice; had enough room for our RV and a tent. Short walk to some green space with a large sandbox, the boat launch, and swim beach. We also saw a deer walking through the campsite too! Fun to watch all of the birds and pelicans!!
