Fishing and swimming draw campers to West Whitlock Recreation Area, which sits along Lake Oahe in Gettysburg, South Dakota. Sites run close to the water, giving dogs easy access for a swim during the day. All sites have electric hookups, with a maximum RV length of 75 feet, and the campground includes showers, a dump station, and WiFi. Reservations are available and recommended, as popular dates can fill quickly even if the campground runs at partial capacity on arrival. Anglers, paddlers, and pet owners tend to get the most out of this spot. Nearby, East Whitlock Recreation Area provides an additional option along the same stretch of shoreline, and there are several more places to camp around West Whitlock Recreation Area for groups that need overflow space.
