Lake Mitchell Campground

This was the perfect campsite after driving 13 hours. I reserved in advance and got the spot right on the lake. Gorgeous view. Campground was quiet, nice bathrooms, staff that checked me in was wonderful! Make sure to bring your bug spray! I car camped, so I didn't use any of the hookups.

I was only going to stay one night, ended up staying a second. Very easy to get a sight, close to food and general shopping. Right on the edge of town bit so there's a little traffic noise, but still feels woodsy. The grounds hosts are awesome and really good out of their way to make sure you have a wonderful stay. Overall I really loved my stay.

This is a nice campground for an overnight on the way to Custer. It’s a ways from 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 August was green with algae. Overall would stay here again if we need a short stay.

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. Very friendly park host, she came and introduced herself and welcomed us quickly.

The host here is the sweetest, busiest woman I've ever seen! The campgrounds are nice and shady. Restrooms and showers are clean! Price is very reasonable. $29 for tent site with electric.

Small, nice campground. It worked fine for our 42 ft 5th wheel. We stopped at Corn Palace which is basically a sports arena and did not take long. There is a playground at the campground for the kids. I did not rate it 5 stars because it does not have a Lot of amenities.

Stopped here as a last minute stop after having a great steak dinner at the Cattlemen’s Club. Camp host were super nice and helpful. Let us move the picnic table to get our off-road Boreas into the site. Bathrooms are clean and bug free. The only draw back was we were on the corner by the group tent site and it was non-stop traffic from 10pm to midnight. I guess the forgot to teach the Boy Scouts camp etiquette, that you don’t walk through another’s camp site to get to facilities. Our German Shepherd popped her head up and growled each time someone walked through our camp site.

Had a nice stay here. Free hot showers were a welcome sight after the long hours on the road from New Hampshire. Only issue was that our visit was perfect timing for “black fly” season! Yikes! They bite something awful and they were everywhere! Eyes/nose/ears and don’t let them get into your tent/camper or you’ll be sorry! 😄 Best site here was hands down #15 with a really nice view of the lake. Be sure to check out Corn Palace which is just down the street, a bit. https://youtube.com/@skywaystohighways

Great location near highway so some traffic noise

We were right by a very busy road and the sites are very close together….our next door neighbors couldn’t even open their awning due to lack of room. The camp host (I THINK he was substituting) was very unfriendly and unhelpful. The lake had toxic algae bloom (NOT anyone’s fault) so if you’re planning on water activities, you might want to check first. I do believe there were other bigger sites and definitely ones away from the road.

Great campground! Picked a spot overlooking the lake...secluded (nobody else in our area) really impressed by the water pressure on the water spigots! Can't imagine there's a better campground in the area

We 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.

Spent a night in route to the Badlands and was happy enough with the experience.  I felt like the sites were a bit close together, but for a night that wasn't a huge concern.  Seems like during a busy weekend it could get loud and chaotic, but on a week night in the fall it was nice.

Enjoyed the water setting!  After driving a day of driving and checking out the Corn Palace, just 5 minutes away,  it was nice to be in nature again in a lovely location :)  Facilities were clean and the staff we encountered were friendly. 

If you have a tent I encourage you to choose a tent only site since they are more secluded.

Stayed here on the last night of a 2 week road trip. Didn't get in until very late but there was still a few sites open that you could pay for one entering the campground. Bathrooms were nice and clean and the campsites were solidly spread out. Our campsite was literally right next to the lake!
