West Pollock Recreation Area

First off, the directions are correct but the marker on the map is wrong This nice little campground is located at 45°52'54.9"N 100°20'13.6"W.

I have only camped here in the months of October, November and sometimes December. The campground may or may not be accessible in the winter months due to snow. I camp here in the fall while the hunting season is in full swing and besides my camp and my brothers camp, we are the only campers in the park. There are showers and toilets in the park but the water is usually shut off by the time we arrive which is usually about the 3rd weekend of October. This park is located on Lake Oahe which is a part of the Missouri River and is a popular place for fisherman. A steakhouse and bar is just but a quarter mile away and the town of Pollock is about 3 miles away where you can get limited groceries and supplies. Like my title says, it is a quiet campground in the fall. I have been there a few times in the summer months and can say that there were very few campers in the park then and most likely a quiet park in the summer months as well, especially if you avoid holidays. Nothing bad to say about the park, it is pretty, there are some sites along the river (water may or may not be close, depends on level of reservoir) and many sites protected by tree lines.
