Dakota Sunsets RV Park & Campground

Cute little RV Campground with helpful and accommodating owners. Very quiet, no road noise. Loved the labyrinth and small scatterings of quaint art. Extremely clean grounds, laundry, restrooms and showers. Sites are gravel and level. Very friendly folks. We’ll definitely be staying overnight again. The wi-fi worked well too. Hookups are conveniently placed.

The super nice and informative couple who own the campground (CG) checked us in and then we were escorted to pull through site 41 with FHUs. The site was more than long enough for our 39’ 5th Wheel and F-450 truck. WiFi was average but there were not many RVs in the park for our 3 nights stay, and we got 4 bars on Verizon. They do not have cable and not being too far from Sioux Falls, we got a good amount of OTA channels. The CG was well taken care of and very clean. We did experience flies this time of year and they were aggressive about getting inside our RV. I had some insect fogger and that worked well spraying before entering our rig. There is no formal dog park, but plenty of area around the CG to walk. The town of Salem down the road has your basic amenities and we enjoyed playing a round of golf on their 9 hole course that is decently priced.  Well run little CG that we would definitely stay at again.

This was a pleasant stop over with full hook ups. Very clean and Polly was lovely. There are nice big trees so a decent amount of shade. It's certainly the best park in the area by far. It's surrounded by farm fields so the biggest issue was the massive amount of flies we had to swat and try to keep out of our rig and truck. There is also no privacy between sites. While you are here definitely visit the Porter Sculpture Park, a really cool roadside attraction (you can also boondock there with permission). We would definitely stay here again as a stop over only.

Although this campground is surrounded by agricultural fields & farms, it is mostly quiet (except for Cicada bugs). The grounds are kept up daily and very clean & organized. Lots of grass in-between sites, the gravel drives & site lot is graded. Good electric, water, sewer. The restrooms, showers & laundry is a bit dated; if any major change can happen it would be to invest in upgrading those facilities. The showers require 25¢ for 6min, understand the costs for water, but a better system could be explored. Good location for jumping off to various venues even to Sioux Falls. Salem is a cute town with the necessities for groceries & supplies. The Centex fuel station is perfect ($2.99 for diesel in Sept 2021).

We pulled in after a tough day on I90. Killer wind was ripping up our awnings and we were stressed from the ride. Polly greeted me at the desk and quickly checked me in for the night. She even asked about our dog and then put us in a spot in the back next to a field where we could fetch rasping. Then she gave me the run down of the camp and some ice cream bars and Rob escorted us to our spot.
Our site and the whole park was in excellent condition. It’s a dirt pad (which sucked when it rained but oh well) and we had a nice grass area. You can tell that Rob and Polly really care about their campground.
Later at night Rob came by to let us know that the tornado watch had lifted and we were just going to get the tail end of the storm.
Not much to do around Salem but the park is a great spot to relax. If you are looking for a place between Sioux Falls, Mitchell and Yankton this is the perfect spot.

A beautiful , well kept park , surrounded by cornfields . This is one of the best campgrounds I have stayed in all summer . The setting in the trees and the nicely , graveled sites with the shade was so peaceful . Wish I could have stayed longer . Very nice couple running the office , got me in at the last minute . I would love to come back !

Polly is so nice, helpful and has ice cream bars for everyone. The campsite is well maintained and aesthetically pleasing. Laundry 24/7, bathrooms clean, the camp store has movies and books you can ‘rent’. We were in the area en route to the west coast. Cell service through PepWave worked great on AT&T, also great Verizon service. The place seems to fill up nightly with people passing through so the day time is quiet and peaceful.
