Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw of the region is Falls Park, where the Big Sioux River tumbles over stunning pink quartzite cliffs. It is located just a short drive from the campground and is a must-see for any visitor. Nature lovers can also visit the Great Plains Zoo or bike along the city’s extensive paved trail system. If you prefer indoor activities, the Washington Pavilion offers world-class science and art exhibits, while the local downtown district provides a variety of regional dining and shopping options.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is an ideal choice for transient travelers looking for a dependable, high-quality stopover along major interstate routes.

I had booked for work nights...did not feel comfortable there and left after first night. A few things...communication is terrible. On the landing path of the airport. Security seemed short if any...just had a gut feeling and did not like it. I suggest, depending on which way you are going, drive an extra 30 min away from town and stay somewhere else.

So disappointing in so many ways. First called office in morning to double check on everything, but no answer. So we drove all day from Chicago and got there right after office closed. Turns out you need a code to get into bathrooms which we didn’t have along with the WiFi password. They keep the codes secret like the nuclear codes. No problem just call the emergency after hours number for codes, they suggest on signs. Multiple calls, multiple voice with no call back. Good thing it wasn’t a real emergency. Finally got a text back with codes and they said it was in our confirmation email also. My only confirmation email came from RoverPass with no codes. Finally got the Tower CG confirmation email after we left the next morning. Besides that, the extra special upgraded area we picked turned out to be a few feet from the highway. The pictures show nice trees but should show the trucks flying by at 75 MPH. Also WiFi never worked properly for us so we gave up on it. Maybe rename campground to something more appropriate like ‘Highway Shoulder Camping’.

Everything was fine except the water valve was leaking profusely. We could not leave it on so we had to fill up our tank and use the water that way. We were in site 112! Thanks!

We came after hours; another RV was parked in our campsite. We called the emergency lines. One was out of order. We left a message on the 2nd line but never got a call back. We just took an empty campsite overnight. We never got a reply, even the next day during office hours. Other than that, the park is decent. We mostly just use it for overnight, on our way through the area. Half of the park has trees, and the other half is more of a parking lot. It is noisy, as it's near an airport and interstate, but it's been a convenient place to stop for us.
