Great campground. Rv tent and cabin site. You don’t feel packed in like other sites. Good playgrounds for the kids. Paved Bike trail right there. Disc golf course. Tennis and basketball court. Can walk to the marina. Been here a few time and will keep coming back. Staff keeps it very clean.

Small Family Campground, 67 sites two full hookups. They also have pickleball tennis courts volleyball and trails, as in bike trails. Very well managed very clean and neat. They also have equipment that you can check out and use for free while you're visiting the park.

The only obstacle we had at the campground was the high winds, which is out of everyone's control. We camped season opening day- tent site. Most of those sites along with the cabins are river overlook (see campground map).The tent sites come with a fire pit and a picnic table. There is a bike path along the river, which I believe was 1.4 miles. We would definitely come back here again, but during the warmer months. This time of year may be okay if you have a travel traveler or motorhome.

A State Camp on the north end of lake Yankton. It's below the dam so a little more protected from winds. Bike path from town runs thru to camp ground above dam. Large picnic area used for large events. New playgrounds. Easy access to Lake Yankton. Kayaks and canoes, no motors.
