West Pollock Recreation Area

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

West Pollock Recreation Area, managed by SD State Parks and Recreation, sits along Lake Oahe in north-central South Dakota and gives campers a choice between open, sun-exposed sites and tree-shaded spots. About half the sites are well-spaced. The lake draws anglers and paddlers, and Lake Pocasse sits roughly 2.7 miles northeast for those wanting another water-access option nearby. Electric hookups accommodate RVs up to 45 feet, and a dump station is available, though potable water is not piped to individual sites. Non-residents should budget slightly above the listed rate, as an additional fee applies. Reservations are available, so booking ahead is worth considering during warmer months.

Right on the Missouri River/Lake Oahe

We spent one night here and paid about $28 as there was a nonresident camping fee. You can have your choice between campsites that are in the sunshine or campsites that are in the trees. About half the sites were very nicely spaced apart. Lake looks like it would be great for going out on a boat and fishing. Nice looking playground as well. They did have a dump station as well as potable water, but not at the sites.
