The only reason this place is 3☆ is due to the RV sites themselves. They are not nearly level for an RV. Site 1-4 looked pretty level but short. Some are very short, 20'ish. Some have trees at the back or over top. They are not at all big rig friendly. If your RV is over 30' you'll be on the grass going in and out. The sites are water and electric. No sewer dump on-site.

No info onsite about where to dump. The playground was 5☆. The electric and water were working well. The Mobil by I94 has a dump station and the people working and selection in that station were great!

Very nice small campground with easy access to Interstate 94. We had 50 amp service and fresh water hook ups. One outhouse and no showers. We rode our bikes to see Sue the World's largest Holstein. Visited the free dump station at Rud's Mobil Station (next to the interstate) before getting back on the highway.

Not very peaceful experience. A local farmer was combining his field until 9 pm and then the first thing the following morning, the mowers and leaf blowers started at the golf. It was so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. Add that to constant noise of the interstate - don't expect peace and quiet.

Great place to spend a night when driving across North Dakota. About 25 bucks gets you 50 amp electric hookup and water hookup. No sewer or dump but is a good value and fairly quiet.

Easy access off the Highway. You can hear semi Jake breaks but pretty quiet otherwise. Easy online reservation system - $25 for electric and water - and a walking/bike trail nearby. Sites are nice- very simple campground with shelter house and playground and a porta potty (no shower/bath house). You can see a huge cow statue from the campground which made me giggle as well.

We camped over the weekend here. Sites are long & plenty room to play beanbags, play fetch with the dog or just visit by the campfire. Good tree shade.

Honor system firewood available. Glad we didn't have to go uptown for it. Looked like all the kids enjoyed the playgrounds. Price is just right for the amenities. Everyone friendly & helpful.

Great campground on the lake. Many sites to choose from. Friendly people. Our site was by the boat launch. Many flies. So that was a little annoying but nice clean campground. Theres a neat walking path around the duck pond you'll definitely need to explore. For the kids an awesome gameroom with bill exchangers. Overall good family campground with plenty to do. You can even go to church on... Great campground on the lake. Many sites to choose from. Friendly people. Our site was by the boat launch. Many flies.

The campground is fine for RVs and tents. The facilites are old, but they are usable. The management is the real issue at this park. The lady that checked us in on arrival was not friendy, and a poor representation for the park. Codington county should replace her with someone with a little more customer oriented attitude fo make this park more welcoming.

Very lovely park. The owner was a little skittish but nice and let us move our tent from the water to a less windy place. Nice playgrounds and a game room for the kiddos. We loved our campsite.

As nice as some 0f the Minnesota State Parks I've been too. Trail around the duck was really nice. I didn't expect to see the variety of birds so close but the reeds gave them security without obstructing my view of them.
