Rocky Point Recreation Area

This place must be incredibly popular during the summer. How lucky you South Dakotans are! Very helpful staff when arriving last night (paid the $6 vehicle fee) and then made the site payment with the agent on the phone who was also very nice. Emailed receipt all total was $31.97 - so in addition to the $6 gate fee, the campground was $21, a $2 phone reservation fee, a $7.70 non-resident fee and $1.27 in taxes. No complaints, just saying that it adds up to $37.97 for a night. But couldn't be happier. T-Mobile just fine with a booster. This is one of those parks where there are no bad sites.
Update: Found the dog park! (in the very middle of the huge central grassy area up on the hill - follow the mowed paths). It may not be the biggest dog park but it probably has the best views of any.

The first day and night the wind was incredible! But the following day and the day we left were gorgeous! Clean campground, we were there during the week so it wasn’t busy at all. Grandsons enjoyed the playground and attempting to catch fish from the shore. There are primitive sites here also in the West side of the reservoir, no charge. Would love to come back.

Many of the spaces here are right on the water and most appeared level. It's a busy park, and and most campers seemed to be local and there to fish. The boat ramp was in great condition. Not alot of shade, but nice breezes.

It's the first park that we'd seen with a fenced in dog park. That was nice, but here's the best part: SD regulations permit dogs off leash as long when they are 200 feet away from (and not disturbing) others as long as they are under their owner's control. This was a huge plus for us! The big prairies in the park quickly became our own dog parks and the areas of open lakefront were a favorite of the dogs'.

In addition to all the recreation opportunities offered by the lake, there are miles of dirt road for riding and running. Outside of the this park (and reviewed separately) is a huge shoreline where dispersed camping is allowed.

Electric sites are 50/30/20a. Rates are $15.83 no service, $20.05 Elec and a daily $6/per car/day parks fee.

Nice gravel level well spaced sites. Many are along the lake.

Verizon had good download speeds but upload was very poor even with a booster. Didn't have my directional Yagi with me but if you have one it might help.

Verizon 2 bars Booster on 5.17/.51 mbps down/up. And yes it really is a decimal 51.
