The bathrooms are nice and clean. Our campsite #7 and #20 were nice and not to bad leveled. We enjoyed our time here.

Please pay attention as you come in the from the south to the campground. When you hit the bottom of the hill at the stop sign, you need to turn to the LEFT and then make your way to the right down grade to the campground entrance.

I stayed two weeks and enjoyed it. Nice view of the Missouri River. Very nice hosts. I never used the facilities. Sites are a bit sloping toward the front. Easy access to Yankton.

Sites are very close together with no privacy. The view from our campsite was poor since all sites are across the road from the lake. A large group of people played loud music all day every day we were there with park rangers driving through without stopping. Unless you're fishing there's nothing to do here. We'd stop for an overnight but that's all.

Great place to stay. Parking big rigs is a little challenging though

I would not recommend tent camping here. There are street lights that stay on all night, so it's bright out all night long. The sites also do not offer much privacy, and the restroom facility near the tent sites is just a vault toilet (there's a restroom with running water at the far end of the RV area). The campground was clearly designed with RVs in mind, not tent campers.
