Lots of amenities in nearby Yankton. Really clean campground....nice restrooms and showers. Enjoyed chatting with rangers at visitor center on Nebraska side of the dam.

Nightly rate was for a premium spot on the lake using our America The Beautiful pass. Read the reviews and you will get the idea.

Nice park but the mosquitoes will eat you alive morning, noon, and night, even with bug spray with deet they’ll get you. Too bad.

What a great place!
Sites are spacious and our "prime" site has a stunning lake view. Sites are gravel, include 30/50 amp electric, picnic table and fire ring/grill. Sites have electricity and drinking water spigots are placed throughout the park as well as 3 drinking water stations at the dump station (also has 3 bays) about a mile from the campground. Very well kept, quiet, clean park and bathrooms/showers are immaculate. We arrived on a Sunday and during the week it wasn't busy at all but weekends fill up. The park is below the Gavins Point Dam and the small lake that borders the campground is a great place for kayaks/canoes and fishing. The large Lewis & Clark Lake is on the other side of the dam, great recreation area.
Since it's a COE park we used our Golden Age Passes and for $9.00 a night it's an unbeatable value!

We stayed here for one night in late-September while on a 7-day trip throughout the Midwest. We were located on Site # 59 which offered a very level blacktop pad, a lakefront view, fire ring, picnic table and 50 amp electrical service.
it looked as though some of the sites may have been pretty close to one another, but it wasn't an issue during our early fall Sunday night stay.
Since it rained during our stay we were pretty limited on the amount of exploration we did around the campground, but we did get to watch some football while we fruitlessly waited for the rain to stop. The OTA television antenna displayed 3 of the 5 possible signal strength bars and was able to pull in local CBS, FOX and NBC channels.
At our site, 59, we had 3 unboosted bars of Verizon and 2 bars on the ATT phone.
The only potable water available at the campground was from a spigot collocated with the dump station which is a mile or so outside of the campground, so it is convenient to fill up with water and empty your black & Grey tanks on the way in.

One of the best campgrounds. Scenic, on a backwater of the Missouri. Excellent bathrooms.
A few too many kids, but not really a problem.
