This is an RV park, not a hotel. They had pretty level gravel sites with full hookups and big rig pull thrus. We didn't use any of their facilities. Management was very nice and accommodating. We would stay here again and recommend it to everyone. If you're a full-timer and use South Dakota for your address, the new DMV is located just down the road from this park. So easy to get to. But... there is no parking for RVs at the DMV. Be sure to make an appointment first as we had to wait over 3 hours to renew our licenses.

This is a very clean and great place for kids. They have daily activity schedules a great pool plenty of grassy eras. Safe for the kids to ride bike. Only downfall is some highway noise but not enough to keep you up. Weekly rates are very affordable.

Jellystone park was extremely fun. Okay that doesn't sound a bit the way I really feel about Jelly Stone Park, Here goes a second try, jellystone park is amazing. It's so amazing that I loved it. I can't wait to get back out. Our kids, well, our child at the time, which now we have 2, but we had one then he loved the jelly stone Yogi bear costumes guy. Yes, beautiful fun awesome. We got pictures with Yogi Berra. We got to play a lot of different games and have fun with the different activities on the campground, friendly people. Nice campground sites, easy to use hookups and plenty of space to pull through or back up. If that's what you need to do. I would say the best part about it was the sweetful, awesome swimming pool, lots of fun, lots of great, great families there. GOOD times.

Great easy location access from the interstate. We stayed in a cabin and didn't hear much highway noise. We went as a big group (20+). The staff was great, attentive, friendly, and willing to help in any way they could. They take pride in keeping the park picked up. Quick to remedy a problem at the pool, a crying distressed kiddo. The pool I believe was the biggest hit for my kids personally but they also enjoyed the rec center with a daily (free) craft, the jumping pillow. I enjoyed the mini golf on multiple different occasions. The wine slushies from the food trailer was AMAZING! The things they have going on through out the day (almost hourly) are engaging for the kids, character appearances multiple times with photo opportunities. They want you to have a great time, definatley aim to please. We left yesterday morning and my kids are already talking about wanting to go back.
