Honestly, this is a nice campground. There is water available at every site. 50-30-20 amp service as well. With the exception of the water at your site, this looks and feels just like a South Dakota campground site, and it costs more than twice as much as SD campgrounds. I don't wish to sound nasty, but campground fees are out of control. $60.00 a night for what you can get for $26.00. I just don't know anymore. Anyway, this is a nice campground. If money is no issue, spend all you have here.

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.

Big sites. A lot of room between sites. Well maintained dirt road to access recreation area. Spacious campground. Very nice.
Guide
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.
TravelerClean and nice setting alongside river.
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!
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!
Scout
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.

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!
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.
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.
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!
TravelerReal nice along the river! It’s really spacious, and the site had everything. A picknick table, fireplace/bbq and full hookup
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.
LegendThe campground was a short walk to the hotel, restaurant, and pool. The campground is in need of some repairs. The pit toilets near the dock are not great. When I stayed there the south end bathrooms at the campground had out of order signs on them. Most of the spots here are rented out on a monthly basis and the good spots are taken.
If I had to stay here again, I would probably just stay at the hotel and not suffer through staying in the campground.
Ranger
This campsite was fine- I needed a place to stay on a cross country trip and it felt like a safe place to roll into later in the evening! It was fairly loud from the RV noise and overpriced just for a tent and pit toilet. The site is right on the river, and watching the sun set on the Missouri was the biggest pro of this spot. I would recommend this to RV’ers, people looking for a quick stop to sleep, or maybe families wanting a more developed camping experience.
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.

If you love the outdoors this is the place for you.
The construction on the dam began in 1946 and started generating electricity in 1954. Most of the sites are smaller sites and great but there are some sites for larger rigs. Make sure you check on your size before making your plans. If you have a boat bring it or anything that you can put in the water, kayak, SUP, canoe, or any other type boat. The roads into the park and in the park are in very good shape and the landscape is well maintained.
For me a very big draw would be the bald eagles in the fall and winter. Birders will enjoy this area because of the opportunity to observe the majestic Bald Eagle. The eagles roost area in the park is a designated National Natural Landmark. Many bald eagles winter below the dam and catch their fish in the lake. They usually perch within 50 feet of the riverbank in the tall cottonwood trees. Check them out in the morning while feeding. Walkers and cross country skiers are allowed in the bald eagle area but you must not disturb the roosting bald eagles. Motorized traffic is not allowed in the roosting area as it may disturb them. If you are planning to visit the campground during the roosting season check with the campground to make sure they have not closed the campsites due to the possibility of the eagles being disturbed.

GuideShady lots 30 & 50 amp service pull through and back in spots
GuideI stayed here for one night. Online reservation worked well. I had to call to change the date and they were very friendly and accommodating. I stayed in a pull-through site #5 which was mostly gravel and pretty level - about 2" on one side with Anderson levelers. Good electricity, functional sewer hookup. Water pressure was a little low but no problems. Campground is small, wooded with mature trees and shade. Was about 1/3 occupied on weeknight but scheduled to be full over holiday weekend. Many of the campers appeared to be workers rather than vacationers. Campground was quiet, no kids, no barking dogs. Did not use any of the facilities but they appeared well maintained and functional. Verizon connection was good and I could stream live TV on Hulu. This is a utilitarian campground rather than a vacation destination and a great option if you are passing through in I-90.
GuideGreat place to stay for a few days or just overnight, Jim and Jerry run a nice park… it is always windy here also
