About Left Tailrace

Left Tailrace Campgound at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Big Bend Project, sits on the shore of Lake Francis Case on the Missouri River below Big Bend Dam. Just upstream of Left Tailrace, Lake Sharpe, a popular recreation destination in the Great Plains,was created by the completion of Big Bend Dam in 1966. Today, approximately 80,000 acres of public lands and water provide a variety of benefits to the public including flood control, recreation, conservation of our natural resources, fish and wildlife habitat, irrigation, and hydropower production. It is possible to view many types of wildlife on the Missouri River at Lake Sharpe. Tribal bison herds can be seen grazing the lake area's grasslands north of the towns of Fort Thompson and Lower Brule. The shoreline areas of the lake also offer excellent waterfowl, upland game birds and big game hunting opportunities. Big game animals include whitetail and mule deer, elk, bison, coyotes and wild turkeys. Waterfowl and upland game birds include ducks, geese, pheasants, prairie chickens, and grouse. Hunting regulations are established and enforced by the State of South Dakota, and the Lower Brule and Crow Creek Tribes. For more information, visit the Big Bend Project website .

The campground is great, and the help is very nice.
Everything was good except a storm came through, with 65 mph winds and hail. but. that's the weather in south dakota.

Absolute must if traveling through SD, worth the drive north off I90. The campground is well maintained and groomed. The staff (volunteers) were polite pleasant, they drove around firewood in the afternoon and evening. Good shade while not overbearing, had no trouble connecting starlink.

Very good and well-maintained. Good positioning of dumpsters around the campground. Good showers. COMPLAINT: The two access roads down to campground from the highway atop the dam when approaching from the south ARE VERY TIGHT FOR A LARGE RIG AND RIGS TOWING. We had to go past the campground about a half mile and use auxiliary roads to loop around a approach from the north. There should be a warning in the reservation process - unless I missed it!
