American Creek Campground

We needed someplace to stay for one night. We've always enjoyed corp of engineers campgrounds. We've actually stayed at Left Tailrace not to far from this one before.

This campground is run by an outside company. $40 got us water and electricity. There was also a picnic table and a fire pit sunken into the ground. The electricity shut off mid morning but we were packing up to leave.

There is a dump behind the office. Be very careful as there are obstacles as you pull out of the dump area. Bathrooms are dated.

Not a bad park just not worth $40 a night.

We are on our way from Sioux Falls to Rapid City. We wanted to stop in Chamberlain to visit the Akta Lakota museum and when I saw this on Campendium, it seemed perfect. Right on the Missouri river, large trees, and grass in all the sites. Very well maintained and there is a nice park with a sandy beach. Fishing and boat dock, and camping cabins if you need that. Peaceful, that is a big plus.
