Guide
Easy to find easy dirt roads very cool at night by the river

I was here on a Wednesday night. Only one other person here. Very quite location. They have 2 sites that offer 30-20 amp service and short pads. 3 sites have 50-30-20 amp boxes. Well mowed, no litter. Right next to town.
Legend
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.
Legend
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.
TravelerCan't beat free! It's close to I-90, so not much driving off the freeway to get here, and it's in a beautiful location next to the Missouri River and a farm with rolls of bailed hay that made for a beautiful sunrise photos. Be careful after a rain, as there can be muddy areas where a heavy vehicle could get stuck. We camped in our Ford Transit, but saw some people in a tent next to us. Quiet and peaceful. As two single women, we felt safe to camp here, which is always appreciated!
ScoutEasy to locate. Turn into city park. Five total campsites. The first two are in the right, directly on the road into park. The other three are further down on left. They are a larger area. Directly across from a football field and track. It is a suggested $20 a night.

We pulled in off i90 at about 8:30 on Labor Day weekend. It was our first time boondocking and we were pleasantly surprised that there were other campers out here enjoying and plenty of room to park.
Overall it feels safe and our dog loved the river!
We would recommend.

German engineering at it's best. Toll station coming soon
ScoutEasy to find. Close to town
ScoutToo muddy for our sprinter van today. We spun the wheels a little. We’re almost got stuck! Cool spot and we did have to drive past a no camping sign.
Legend
Close to all the amenities: fuel, sightseeing, recreation on the river, groceries, supplies. Full hook ups and easy in/out. Right on I-90 so yea - Highway noise. Sites are suuuuuuper long and have nice and easy hookups. Lots of picnic tables, beautiful sunset, pool & office open past 9pm is a huge plus - so many seem to close by 5… we’re still sightseeing at 5!
ScoutThis place was a little weird driving into because of the no trespassing sign but upon closer inspection I realized I took the wrong turn. Only thing that was kind of annoying is how loud the crickets were.

This is a nice campground for an overnight on the way to Custer. It’s a Bono’s the freeway, so there’s none of that noise, just some from the main road. Sites are level and well marked, although somewhat small. Most have full hookups, and there’s a nice tent area. Very friendly host. Older bathroom/shower, but it was very clean. Had some hiking trails that weren’t super maintained, and the lake in Augusta was green with algae. Overall would stay here again if we need a short stay.
ScoutWe were comfortable here for a stopover during a road trip. The river is nice and the town is cute. A few people were camping nearby, but everyone was very respectful. It’s nice to be able to make a fire too. Very conveniently located.
GuideNice 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. Very friendly park host, she came and introduced herself and welcomed us quickly.
Scout
Went to the dirt road indicated. Signs said no overnight camping very clearly
Guide
Cabins 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.
Guide
Relative to North Point Rec Area, this campground and day use beach were significantly less crowded. All sites seemed to have some shade, picnic table, and fire pit.
Guide
The campground upon entrance is way more compacted than the one down the road where you have a little more space from your neighbors. Verizon works good, nice shower/flush toilet facility.
Guide
Nice campground along the river with tent and full hookup sites.
GuideThese roads can get muddy! And I don’t mean just a little muddy, I mean “need to get your car towed and it will be a multi hour event.” Before driving on these roads, get out and ensure the route you’re about to drive is dry!
Legend
There are 9, possibly 10, back in camping spots. $25.00 a night, which I thought very reasonable for all they offer. Bathrooms with showers. Water and sewer at all sites. 50 - 30 - 15 amp service at all sites. Picnic tables and fire pits with grates at all sites. Picnic area with cement floors and cover. Dogs across the way are noisy, but we hope they get used to things and quite down. Money for stay needs to be brought downtown to a bar, or you can call a number, and so.eone will come out and pick it up. Grass is very long at the sites, which seems to encourage the bugs and mosquitoes .
Legend
Big sites. A lot of room between sites. Well maintained dirt road to access recreation area. Spacious campground. Very nice.
ScoutGreat location right on the Missouri River also called Lake Francisca Case.
TravelerClose to the water. Secluded. We were the only ones there when we went. Pretty chill, relaxing, quiet area. There are no signs, so it’s easy to miss. Just a little gravel road.
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.
Traveler
One individual restroom and shower. Full hookups at sites. Open field with campsites next to each other. Some road noise since the interstate is close by.
