Good level gravel sites with full hookups. Dollar General next to site so convenient. Nice grass between sites. Large bath house and restrooms. $61 with the Good Sam discount.

Good bath house and restrooms and nice grass between sites.

Nice host. Few trees. Good for small city park. Great price at $25. Great for overnight. We traveled in to Sioux Falls for dinner and the Falls park. We use the T-Mobile home internet and had 140 mbs. Verizon was couple bars.

This is by far the best COE camp site we have stayed at. Absolutely beautiful. Most of the sites have water and electric; all on the island gave a great view of lake and many are directly adjacent to the lake. Baby geese are swimming all around. Saw bald eagles at the dam overlook area. Pretty nice hike trail near the entrance. Lake is clear with blue tint that changes color in different light. One nice modern bath house with flush toilets showers and multiple other vault toilets locations. We had site 27 which had a few trees which we liked. I think it was the best but many were really great sites. Eureka Springs was a little less exciting than what we expected but quaint and probably just right for many. You should come with fishing gear and water sport equipment and even scuba equipment if that is an interest. Apparently they have trout , walleye, bass, and crappie in the lake.

We waited to late to get a standard single site in the weekend. Kinda glad we did. We got a double site which wouldn’t allow the 1/2 price America the Beautiful price (bummer) since it was a double site. We had two adjacent double sites that were not used. We were not crowded at all unlike most other sites. Beautiful lake in all directions. We were on site 5 which was near the boundary of private property but still adjacent to heavy wooded area so really nice. Great place to walk the dog along the fence line down to the water. Many people had their boats. One really nice part of camp ground was closed due to high water levels. The area starting with site 59 looked to be spaced better. This a part goes out on a peninsula where some of the sites were flooded. That is the area I would have wanted to be if sites were available. I saw one bash house that had showers and a single flush toilet in men’s and women’s side. Others were vault toilets houses. We had to add water since most sites do not have water. Water is available from most locations thru shared faucet. A 100 ft hose would allow fill up from most site locations. We had great T-Mobile 5g wifi with only two bars had 500 meg reception.

Wildlife has been pretty cool; mule deer, grey wolf or possibly a very large healthy coyote, jack rabbits, birds geese, ducks. Thorns everywhere; Goathead thorns are a problem mostly at the campground. Our dog constantly got them in his paws walk around CG but on trails we didn’t get many. Had to watch him. Wish we had some booties.

This campground is used a lot by locals. Lot of fishermen bring their boats. Heavily wooded. Sites are large so many will hold TT and TV and a boat. There is an A and B loop. A is kinda on a bluff and B is a little closer to water. Trees obscure the view of the water from most sites. We stumbled into the best site. A18. Other sites are a little tighter than most COE campgrounds. A18 is at the end of the row and pretty far from nearest site. The closeness of the sites is the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars. Water and electric up to 50A is available for all sites which is different than Campendium lists. Now sewer but good dump station at entrance. Bathroom and shower is pretty good and reasonably modern. The mapping to the campground is sketchy. Google told me to use a one lane road but there was a sign that directed us to the COE differently and then Google picked up since the actual next turn was not marked with any sign. Road was quite narrow all the way into the camp. See photos for site. I had T-Mobile home internet and was able to stream with a marginal 2 bars of 4g. Normal COE discounts apply. We paid 14 per night.

Awesome place to stop over for night with full hookups. Nice grass between sites. Small place with 30a on one side and 50A service in other section. Family Dollar store nearby for essentials. Nice grass kids park adjacent to campground. Cash preferred and drop box. Bathroom and shower clean and nice.
