Circle K Campground
Overview
Circle K Campground offers a peaceful retreat for travelers crossing the expansive plains of South Dakota. Located in the quiet town of White Lake, this family-owned park provides a welcoming environment for those seeking a break from the road. It serves as an essential waypoint for RVers traveling along the Interstate 90 corridor, offering a blend of rural charm and modern convenience. The atmosphere is notably calm and unhurried, allowing guests to recharge before continuing their journey toward the Black Hills or other regional destinations.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated just north of Interstate 90, making it incredibly easy to access without dealing with heavy traffic or complex navigation. Surrounded by the wide-open landscapes of central South Dakota, the setting is defined by agricultural fields and big prairie skies. Guests will enjoy the small-town atmosphere of White Lake, where the pace of life slows down significantly. This location provides a genuine taste of the Midwest, offering beautiful sunset views over the flat horizon and remarkably quiet nights.

- Full hookups with 30 and 50-amp electricity
- Clean restroom and shower facilities
- On-site laundry room for long-distance travelers
- Pet-friendly areas for your four-legged companions
The emphasis here is on clean, functional spaces that provide everything a traveler needs for a restful overnight stay without unnecessary distractions.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
While the campground is a quiet haven, it is conveniently located near several regional highlights. A short drive east brings you to Mitchell, home of the world-famous Corn Palace and the Dakota Discovery Museum. Nature enthusiasts can explore the nearby White Lake area for birdwatching or local fishing opportunities. For those heading west, the park serves as a perfect final stop before reaching the dramatic landscapes of Badlands National Park and the historic sites of the Black Hills.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is the ideal choice for cross-country RVers looking for a safe, quiet, and accessible place to park for the night.

Met all of our requirements while in route. Super convenient to be right off the highway. Bathrooms with showers were clean. Sites had power and water. We registered ahead of time. Checkin/checkout was effortless.

This was a nice stop. We overnighted, the price was really good, 36.00 for one night. The only thing was we arrived after dark and, though there are lamp posts, they were not on so make sure you get there before dark. Bathroom clean with shower.

Right off the highway. It was a nice place to stop for the night on our way to Yellowstone. Fair price, had bathrooms, showers, and full hook ups. Easy to check in and out online.

For an Interstate campground, this is a very nice stop. There are ample fairly level spots with full hookups. There is also a significant space between you and your neighbors which makes relaxing for the night much easier. The grass was clearly well maintained. Showers and restroom facilities are a bit worn but nice and clean. Also, because the campground is in association with and next to a motel, there IS a shelter if needed. I was touched by the fact that the owners or the cleaners leave leftover shampoos grouped by the sink so if you forget, there is something to get by. Nice touch! All online registration, payment and checkout is very convenient. Depending on your window layout, your view is not restricted to the interstate, but looks off into trees and prairie. I would not have minded a longer stay to recharge.

White Lake Lodge is a great place to stay while on the road. Location is right there at the interstate. Off/ on couldn’t be easier. Even though it’s so close, room wasn’t noisy over night. Room is very spacious, and was very clean and comfortable. So much better than trying to find a motel that wasn’t disgusting and worrying about the contents of my van all night. Parked right in front of the door. Highly recommended.
