It's in the middle of agricultural area, so expect some 'farm smells', but it was clean, cared for and had a great little play area for kids (which we don't have, but it was still noticeably well done) The camp host Aaron was super helpful. I left something at campground and he did a very thorough searched for it and called me to report in--he demonstrated such great customer service and was so helpful! Lots of songbird activity in the trees. Was easy in/easy out and a great spot to pull off.

If I didn't have somewhere to be tonight, I'd have spent the night here in Sexauer Park. This park…read moreallows camping with 18 paved pads for trailers and RVs, five of which are pull-through and the remainder are back-in. The pads are only $25 plus tax, which is a complete bargain. The campground is operated by the city of Brookings and is the only park in the city that allows camping. They have electrical hook-ups, picnic tables, a playground, restrooms with showers and even a dump station. Very awesome and I enjoyed having a nice walk around today. The only thing missing is a water or sewer hookup, but that's really a minor inconvenience for a self-contained camper van. [Review 17852 overall - 58 in South Dakota - 1373 of 2022.]

Several buildings have been moved here (e.g., a claim shanty, two schools, and a church) and a few are replicas such as the Ingalls' shanty and the hat-roof barn. Everything was very hands on and kid friendly. Kids could do laundry in a wash tub and hang it on a line to dry, play a pump organ, work a treadle sewing machine, braid cloth for a rug, make a jump rope, make a corn cob doll, attend school at a one-room school house, drive a covered wagon, drive a pony cart, ride a pony, etc. We got there at 10 am on a very hot day (temps in the 90s) and we stayed for a little over 2 hours. We didn't walk to the church because it seemed like a long walk in the hot sun, but we did everything else. We could have stayed a bit longer but we were hot and hungry so we left. We went they last weekend in June before the Pageant Days so it wasn't very busy and we never had to stand in line to do any activities. Refrigerators with bottled water were scattered around the 10 acres. The bottles were 75 cents each and you pay in the gift shop when you leave. Nice gift shop.

Okay, so I have to say I was very unsure of this place before we got there. Because there is…read moreliterally nothing for miles, and then suddenly you're in a small town that doesn't seem like it would have a camping spot. But then you hang a corner and boom, adorable campground by a scenic river with lots of open space and a pretty nice shower house. We only stayed one night, and there are two solid reasons I'm not going for five stars: 1. The owner was not there when we arrived, everything was locked up, and for a moment we were at a loss. We decided to just pick a spot since there were only two other campers on site, and if we were wrong then we'd happily move. It turns out the owner was on vacation, and another one of the campers was there to manage while she was out. We found this out when one of their kids was wandering around saying hi and petting the pups and told us all about his cool week of camping. It wasn't a huge deal, but it wouldn't been comforting to get an email or a phone call, or even have it left on the voicemail (we tried to call several times and there was no voicemail set up). 2. The wild life around the area takes shifts, so there is constant noise going around the clock. From my memory while trying to catch some zz's, it begins with dogs barking until dark, then the owls take over, followed by coyotes (or some sort of group howling animal), then around 4am the cows take over for moo-fest, followed by the roosters at daybreak. This probably doesn't bother those sleeping in campers, but the tent walls are paper thin (see what I did there?). Would I stay here again? That's a solid maybe. It is quite out of the way, the nearest grocery store/gas station/sign of life is at least 10 miles/20 minutes away, so be sure to come completely prepared. It is as bad as I was fearing when we pulled up? Not at all. Color me pleasantly surprised.

It may just be the time of the summer that I visited, but overall I have to rate my stay as just…read moreokay. It seems to be a long term summer hang out spot for some locals and you can hear cussing and yelling from people drinking late into the night, like after two am. However, if you're looking for a place where you can have fun without strict rules, this would be the place. As a newcomer, some people were friendly and some were not, but I won't go further in explaining that. The river is pretty, although it's not anywhere near full right now because of drought, so the kayaking is somewhat limited. As I said though, it was a really pretty site to camp on. They have a couple of private shower rooms that are nice. For a one night stay it's okay, especially as a lot of other campsites that are in a less isolated area seem to fill up more quickly. The nearest grocery store is 11 miles away, so I would plan out food before you go into camp. Dell Rapids has a great coffee shop called Ladelle and Fourth Coffeehouse (if you need wifi or to get out) that is fifteen minutes away, which I was surprised to find.

This is a brand new campground that has only been open a month. Work is still going on so it isn't…read morefair to judge by the dirt areas and patchy grass. The sites are extremely small with barely 6' of grass between the parking pads. One section has the corners of the parking pads touching or within inches of each other. Bathrooms are large single rooms with sink, toilet, and shower. The shower is a small fiberglass stall and could be bigger but the room is large and very nice. Community Center (store, office, pizza) was also brand new and nice. Both nights, with a night spent elsewhere in between we had a reservation with a site number specified. The first day we were a little early and the other party hadn't left yet. They put us in another comparable spot. That was nice since we were there shortly before check-in - 15 to 20 minutes early. But the second stay, we didn't come in until evening and they had put someone else in the spot we had reserved. I found this odd and wasn't very happy about it. We had selected the spot for a reason. I'm aware campgrounds have the right to do that but with dozens of empty sites why would they? The hosts were very nice people but I don't love being led to my site and someone being there while I'm getting in place. They are work campers so I'm sure they are just doing their job. Seems odd to me. Again, they were very nice, pleasant people. This is also an expensive campground. Right $72 for one night with electricity and water. No sewer but there is a dump site. It's attached to Wild Water West water park. Way over priced and kinda icky. Check out the city parks department pools instead. $6 for adults instead of $28. And much, much nicer. I don't recommend. I see this getting worse, not better.

Otherwise, it was a great day and the staff was very nice.

We stopped to fill prior to staying with friends near by. We have two 40 pound tanks, one that was at 67% and one at 39%. They charged us a flat rate for each tank regardless of how much was still in each tank. Between the two tanks we were a little over 40 pound and it cost us $61 and some change to fill the two tanks. We are really glad we weren't planning to stay here. This unscrupulous practice makes me wonder what other things they do to unsuspecting customers. What other methods of cheating are they doing??

Sounds like a bunch of negatives but for a one night layover, it's a nice spot next to a calm pond with ducks. Take a walk to the island and enjoy the peacefulness.
