United States
About a dozen established campsites, each overlooking the water. Most with picnic tables and fire rings. Free! Don’t pay to go into the reserve, instead turn left just before the pay station. Turn right at the next road and enjoy. Two bars LTE for T-Mobile and Verizon :)
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Great location! Stayed about a week, only a few other campers throughout the area. Both free camping areas are easily accessible. You can see other campsites but none are on top of one another. Clean pit toilets, decent Verizon.
Report Check-InFree campsites throughout the reservoir with table and fire pit.
first come, first served. several dry toilets everywhere in the area and garbage cans!! if people could avoid leaving their waste on the spot or in the fire pits!!!
If it continues like this, these place will eventually be paid for or prohibited at the campsite!!
Great free camp site. We are able to park right on the water. Arrived at 5pm on a holiday weekend and there were still options.
There are way more than a dozen sites. I’d say there are at least 30 RVs parked along the water.
The water here is beautiful but you have to walk through mud for about 100 feet to get to it. The water itself does look nice just wasn’t an easy way to get in over here. Lots of bugs.. flies and lacewing. Good AT&T service. There is a pit toilet and trash can. I would say there is more like 20 spots. It was about half full and everybody was very quiet.
Report Check-InAs described…turn left at the pay camping area entrance. About 2 miles turn right into the free camp area. The site we selected had some trash. Please help keep these free sites clean by leaving them better than you find them.
Report Check-InAll I got to say is WOW. Beautiful, quite, a lake to swim and lots of privacy. Spread out beautifully. Thank you South Dakota!!!
Report Check-InQuiet and dispersed camping loop. Not busy or crowded, but very flat without large bushes or trees so you can clearly see campers at other spots on the loop and around the reservoir. Well maintained vault toilet. A LOT of bugs, but not mosquitoes. Got a little gusty overnight. Overall was a great spot to camp for the night!
Report Check-InThe heavily washboarded road going into the campground is gravel and super dusty, go slow! The rewards are worth it. Winds pop up out of nowhere.
Report Check-InAs stated, free campsite compliments of dept of interior….it’s a bit breezy. Spots are spaced well apart, newish picnic tables, fire pits, pit toilet kind of a walk away. Came on Sat late afternoon in late sept - only a few folks.
