Ten miles south of Interstate 90, Stickney City Park sits within the small town of Stickney, offering a convenient overnight stop for travelers crossing South Dakota. The campground operates on city park grounds alongside recreational facilities including a swimming pool, playground, and sports courts.
Six camping sites provide electric hookups with varying configurations. Two shorter sites accommodate cars and vans with 30-amp service, while four larger sites handle big rigs with 50/30/20-amp electrical boxes. All sites include fire rings with firewood available on-site. Water access requires a longer hose, as the spigot sits at some distance from the camping areas. Restrooms and showers are located at the swimming pool building, though reviewers note the shower facilities show their age.
"Spots are mostly level - we didn't even have to unhook from our hitch," reports one camper with a 15-foot travel trailer. The campground charges $20 per night on a first-come, first-served basis. Most visitors find themselves alone or sharing the space with just one other party, particularly on weeknights. For additional overnight options, campers can explore camping near Mitchell or check nearby Hills RV Park eight miles north.
The well-maintained grounds sit directly across from a football field and track. A local diner within walking distance serves ice cream and classic fare for those seeking a meal off the camp stove.
