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.

Campers were mostly in RVs, I was in a tent and not surrounded by many others. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and well maintained and the owner was nice and gave us tips on things to do in the rest of South Dakota!
Legend
An excellent choice for staying if traveling across South Dakota. The sites are gravel, but are all pull through. Most are full hookup, but there is a on site dump station for those with electric only. The swimming pool was an absolute total plus for a hot July day. The park owner Nancy is a fantastic host. Definitely a stay again park

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.

Sept 9-10, 2019 Wish we had stayed at Cabellas. OK for one night. Not friendly. Site B16 had electric, water, and sewer. $39,30 KOA rate. Elevation 1,310. Verizon 4G 4 bars. Wifi very good. Park has dump station, showers, flush toilets, pool, miniature golf, bike rental and laundry room. See RV Camping Journal for more details.

It is a nice place and has a nice playground.
ScoutThis is a really good camp site we have camp their for a long time. It has good bathrooms
GuideThis is a great campground on the west band of the Missouri River. Very nice and well kept facilities but beware there are lots of cottonwoods and at times during our stay it looked like it was snowing.
Access to this area is off highway 44 but be prepared for several miles of minimally maintained dirt road (with some big hills) to get there. I'd stay here again but I'd also research when the cottonwoods are not shedding their seeds.
LegendBig sites. A lot of room between sites. Well maintained dirt road to access recreation area. Spacious campground. Very nice.

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.
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 ... ??

ScoutReally nice pull through sites with water, electric and sewer. $30 per nite. Some shady sites. Very little road noise. No Bathroom or shower access. Plenty of area to walk a dog with nice grass.
GuideThis campground was a great deal for $20 per night with Passport America. The onsite manager is very friendly and helpful. Most of the sites are W/E only with a dump on exit. there are FHU available for $5 more per night. The property is well kept and there is a pool on the property for use for an additional fee. There is a washing machine and dryer and bathrooms. The sites are level pull through gravel. They do have wifi, a bit slow though.
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.
LegendCampground 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.
RangerBasically a nice parking lot with trees. Nice walking/bike trails. Small beach area, lots of rocks! View out across the Missouri River was nice!
TravelerReal nice along the river! It’s really spacious, and the site had everything. A picknick table, fireplace/bbq and full hookup
GuideTruly one of my very favorites. Right on the Missouri, with a swimming beach that’s perfect. Spacious spots. Close to the 90. You can stay until 2:00 for an extra $10. Zero downsides.
RangerWe would visit this campground every weekend if we could. It’s right within the city of Chamberlain but you don’t realize it once you enter.
Our site was spacious with lots of room to move around and the tree coverage is perfect for privacy.
There is only water & electricity for hookups but the dump station on site is located right behind the office on your way out of the grounds.
Storms do pop up unexpectedly (one did while we were there) but if you have a canopy - like we do - the rain rolls off & you can sit an enjoy everything cooling off because of it! 😁
GuideWe stayed just one night and didn't have the opportunity to experience all this campground had to offer. We had a pull-through site in a part of the campground that felt more like a parking lot. The rest of the campground had more trees and space. It's a beautiful area, right on the river. The kids loved the playground and taking an evening dip at the beach. We took a quick drive into town to eat a Upper Crust.
ScoutThe storms in the area just appear. We've gone camping out here twice and both ended very scarey. Beautiful area but also not worth it to go back for a third time. Don't need to die in a storm out there now. Your just very exposed, almost like being on a mountain top.
ScoutGood facilities available for use. Perfect views of the river. At the beach there is kayaks and paddle boards available for rent which is the perfect addition to a great campground.
LegendOk spot for the night, close to the hwy. Free camping on the water! Only has a few actual campsites with tables and fire rings. There is a toilet but no other amenities.
TravelerClean and nice setting alongside river.
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.
