    Campground 3 — Oahe Downstream Recreation Area

    My favorite campground

    This is one of my favorite campgrounds. The best spots are 194-196. They are back in sites and we have a large window on the back of our camper and get to look at the beautiful river. Great bird watching and lots of bald eagles. The sites are electric only but you can fill water before you come in. Sites are spacious with gravel. There is a picnic bench and fire ring at each site. This campground offers 8 cabins and tent sites also. The grounds and restrooms are kept up well. We came in September so there was hardly anyone around. Very peaceful

    Campground 3 — Oahe Downstream Recreation Area

    Fantastic state park!

    We are on an east/west/east trip. We were looking for a state park on the water that was on our route. We were so lucky to pick this one. A beautiful state park on Lake Oahe. We lucked out and had a site right on the water. Campsites were big with plenty of room to tie out both of our big dogs. Hubby could walk out of the camper and fish. Campground 3 would be my choice overall as it has a row of sites right along the river. Bathhouse immaculate. Showers great. Good walking paths for humans and dogs and saw many folks cycling. Only downside which couldn’t be helped are all the flies. Take a fly swatter and fly traps/ tape. Days later and down the road we are still finding flies in our camper!

    Campground 2 — Oahe Downstream Recreation Area

    Beautiful sites

    110-30-50 amp hookups plenty of space between sites. Bathrooms with showers. Playgrounds located throughout the campgrounds. Along the Missouri river. Some sites back into river view. But not a long walk to the beach area. About 10 cabins right on the river. Tent/RV/Cabin camping you will enjoy yourself

    One of my favorite places to camp

    This is one of my favorite campgrounds. I look forward going to. We always get a waterfront campground and since we camp during the week when school is still going there’s hardly anyone there and it is truly a very peaceful place. Love watching the bald eagles. There’s lots of trees and shade.

    Nice location

    Enjoyed my stay here. Site was close to water so pup could swim a few times during the day. Staff was very helpful. When I made reservation a couple of months ago, there were only a few sites to choose from. On arrival, campground was maybe 25% full. Free shower was a nice treat. All sites are electric.

    Clean, Friendly , No frills

    Very nice site with clean bathrooms and showers. Some sites have shade. Well maintained and the owners are very friendly. Convenient location and just a short drive from the highway. Some road noise but not bad at all. The wind was very slack the day we stayed so the mosquitoes were out at night. Would 100% stay again if traveling thru South Dakota.

    Pit stop and nothing more

    If you’re looking for a place to quickly crash for the night I’d recommend this. It was $30 and close to the highway. Plus only had 3 other campers. Not very level on any of the sites.

    This campground is mainly used by hunters in the fall. Sites are mostly for small RV’s, trailers, or tents. The park has a lot of mature trees which causes problems with overhanging limbs in the road. One side of the park has younger trees and it is easier for larger rigs to maneuver and there is more of an open feeling. Pads are fairly level. Bathrooms and even the pit toilets are very clean and did not smell, even had hand sanitizer.

    Site was well maintained. There are several water sites for great views. There are hiking trails in the park. Camp is set amid the rolling hills showcasing the beautiful crops and ranches of SD.

    35 miles southeast of Pierre off SD Highway 34. Nearest town is Harrold, SD

    Okay for a night

    We stayed here on our way to Yellowstone and had a wonderful site coming back we stayed again site #216. Nothing at all fancy, gravel, and a picnic table. The bathrooms were okay, not the best we’ve seen. For one night this site was fine would not stay more than one night. I wish I could remember our site # from the first night

    Good for one overnight stop

    It started in 1970s. It looked like at one time it was kid friendly. It’s clean. 2 washers and 2 driers. Owners really nice. Small pool and kiddy pool. Nothing to do…. Little half block town.

    Better than rest stop😆

    An Oasis in the middle of nothing

    Site was flat and easy to use. Shade is limited but there are some less mature trees that will eventually make this campsite fantastic. Park staff wasn’t very helpful, didn’t give us a map or any information about the area. Camp fees DO NOT include park entry

    Run Down

    This campground is great for an overnight stay.  There was machinery and farm equipment in some of the RV sites.  The property has not been mowed in some time.  It is W/E only with a dump station for the majority of the sites.  There is not a host on site and no one from the hotel that owns the campground came by.  There is a bathhouse with showers (dirty) and flush toilets  and sinks.  The RV site we had was level gravel.  This property is next to an interstate so beware of the noise.

    Very nice quiet park

    Just a simple campground with full hookups, both 30 and 50 amp. Most sites have some trees. We didn't use the showers or bathrooms. No play equipment if you have children. Very reasonable at $28 on a Friday night. Would stay here again.
