"The electrical boxes are so buggy and cobwebby and dusty that it's hard to find a properly grounded working electric box."
"An excellent choice for staying if traveling across South Dakota. The sites are gravel, but are all pull through."
"Really 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."

"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."
"Our site was spacious with lots of room to move around and the tree coverage is perfect for privacy."
"Had nice showers and bathrooms. Also had coin laundry on site. Playground for kids and swimming area in lake. There was hazardous algae in the water when we went, so couldn’t swim."
"Nice swim area, pretty campsites, especially the tent areas that sit high over the lake and have pretty views of the water. Nice bathrooms and park."
"Great spot on a little lake. Breeze blowing in in the morning makes it hard to get up."

LegendAn 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
GuideCabins are super cute and fit the price. $55/night gives you AC, electricity, and a bed (2 twins, 1 full). Great view from the cabin deck. Verizon works good. Close to the swimming beach and vault toilet.
RangerThis was a very pleasant surprise. I normally do not go to campsites (that is put in for context) but was passing through on a business trip and needed a place with electric hookups. After a Harvest Host disaster I found this. Like I said, very pleasantly surprised. While there were a lot of campers who seemed to be setting up elaborate sites with everything you would need to live there for a year (laundry lines, flag poles, pens for their dog), I was able to get a spot that backed right up to the beautiful river and had plenty of space on all sides. The campsite was surprisingly quiet for how large it was. The sunset paddle boarding on the river was a real treat. Kinda cool to say you SUP'd from South Dakota to Nebraska with a beer on the board.
Bathrooms were clean and had showers. Garbage and recycling on premises. AT&T signal was strong.
Leave no trace.
TravelerWe tent camped for one night! Had nice showers and bathrooms. Also had coin laundry on site. Playground for kids and swimming area in lake. There was hazardous algae in the water when we went, so couldn’t swim.
LegendHonestly, 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.
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! 😁
