A popular destination for boaters, paddlers, and water skiers, Lake Vermillion is a 512-acre artificial reservoir on the East Fork of the Vermillion River. Both the river and the lake are named for the red quartzite stone found along the river’s banks. Lake Vermillion is popular with area anglers for its abundance of walleye, bluegill, crappie, and northern pike. Two boat ramps provide easy access for fishing on the lake, as well as putting in other recreational watercraft. There are plenty of onshore activities at Lake Vermillion as well, with various sports fields, horseshoe pits and a short nature trail, all located within the lake’s camping and picnic areas. The year-round campground at Lake Vermillion, just 30 minutes west of Sioux Falls, features more than 90 tent and RV campsites in three areas, on the northwest and northeast shores of the lake. Most sites are equipped with electrical hookups, and all include picnic tables with sun shades, and fire pits with grills. There are also four rustic, walk-in tent sites, two ADA accessible sites, and seven camping cabins. All camp areas have water faucets, and access to flush restrooms, vault toilets, and showers; a dump station is located near the campground entrance. The West Campground also has a kid’s play area, picnic area, swim beach and fishing dock. Campsite rates are $17–$21/night, plus entrance fee; cabins are $45/night.

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.

Great little city park. Showers/ restrooms were clean. I'm not sure how many sites in total. I know 5 were concrete slabs, the rest gravel. It's a little confusing in price/ paying. There is a box that says $10 donation. A sign that says $15 donation. The donations go towards the park.
ScoutWe 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.
LegendWe 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!

Late in the season and the only person there but a very nice place with pretty views and a nice walking trail.
TravelerBest 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!
ScoutThe electrical boxes are so buggy and cobwebby and dusty that it's hard to find a properly grounded working electric box.
The women's bathroom is designed to be a single stall bathroom with shower, but the lock doesn't even hold the door shut properly bc the wood of the door frame is gouged out where the sliding bolt goes for the door. Had to prop my cane up under the door. An employee barged right in and acted offended when I mentioned someone was in there ... ??
ScoutWe 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!

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.
TravelerWell spaced and clean RV sites. RV sites located in a paved loop road that my kids loved cycling around. Short walk or bike ride to the lake which had a great beach, fishing pier, and picnic area. Pretty busy in the picnic area with family parties and people taking boats out of the water. Preferred to stay tucked away at RV site. The dump station was really busy in the morning to plan accordingly.

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.
TravelerGreat 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!
Scout
Had a great week time here! The staff was very nice and helpful!
LegendAbout a half hour to Sioux falls! Amenities include picnic tables, showers, beaches, hiking trails, biking trails, boat launch, and basketball hoops
GuideWe stayed at Hills RV Park 6/02/22. It's a good place to stop over on a trip. The site was level, the hook ups were great, the bathroom/showers looked good, but we didn't need them. The sites were pull-through and spaced well enough. There was a train at 3 am, but these things don't bother me. I rather liked it. There were people mowing the grass and working there until dark. It was very tidy and pleasant. I would definitely stay there again.
GuideWe were here just overnight but wish we could’ve stayed longer. We stayed on site 14 and it was so spacious and just lovely! We will be back if we are this way again.
GuideFrom the moment we arrived the staff was helpful and friendly. After a long haul from Spearfish SD, in 50-60 mph gusts, it was nice to find some smiling faces and even better service.
GuideGreat sites right on the water. Nice facilities.
RangerKids enjoyed playing in the water. Wasn’t the clearest water ever but the kids didn’t mind. Bathrooms and showers were nice.
GuideVery quiet, nice area. Vault toilets, potable water. $35 a night with out of state charges.
ScoutBe aware that the tent sites are not assigned (staff called it ‘free form’). Since we got in late (9:00pm on Saturday) the only spots were next to the highway. Makes for a noisy night. But the firefly’s that live in the bushes there more than made up for it!! KOA facilities are fantastic. Staff was great. Will stay again, but will arrive earlier!
TravelerStayed in spot 122 in Maple, which faces east and is somewhat protected by trees. But very many spots are completely exposed.
Guide27 miles west of Sioux Falls, SD. Every site is a winner. Grass, shade, some sites on the water. Could not be cleaner or more friendly. Four different camping areas.
GuideCampground was very well kept. Staff was extremely nice and welcoming. Very nice playground and mini golf area for the kids. Showers and bathrooms were extremely clean and well kept.
TravelerWe stayed in the east campground and were lucky to get a site along the lake #49. A single site with a great view of the lake and no other campers around us. Passing through to Rapid City would love to stay for several days and fish .
ScoutWe were late in arriving but the staff remained and help fuide us to our spot.
TravelerCampground is about half a mile off the highway way. It was super quiet at night and had clean bathrooms.
