A total gem of a city campground for a very nice price. Try for site #15 - you're not going to get…read morea sewer connection, but the lake view is totally worth it! Site #26 is also pretty nice, and is a pull thru site with full hook-ups. Showers and restrooms are pretty darn clean for a city run campground. Dog friendly, and there are plenty of trails to walk your furry pal on. No cable, but Mitchell does get 3 local channels via antenna, and it's so pretty here you're not going to watch much tv anyway. WARNING (and why this review is only 4 stars): If you're looking to stay here to enjoy the lake, forget it. The lake is pretty gross and full of blue-green algae, so DON'T plan on swimming. Or leting your kids swim. Or letting your dog anywhere near it. If your only interested in the view, the trees, and a nice quiet place to chill out, it's still worth it, IMHO.

My family rolled in after 9:00 p.m. on Saturday night after the 4th of July, praying for a site to…read morebe open. There was a list available to see which sites were reserved, though it was a tad confusing because it wasn't in what we thought was a logical order. But we found a site without any neighbors and got set up rather quickly. If I remember right we paid about $30 for our electric post site. The campground was pretty quiet despite being just off the business loop and on the lake during a holiday weekend. The next morning we had to pack up right away, but not before my daughter enjoyed a hot shower in "the cleanest campground shower ever" (she's 14, so picky) and we got ready for the day in the *very* clean bathroom. This was very much appreciated after two weeks camping on BLM land with only a pit toilet available! We spoke briefly with the owner who told us she's managed it for the city for just a couple years and is still working on upgrades, but I thought the bathrooms were great as is. We were very satisfied, and if we could have stayed longer we would have made use of the lake and playground.

You'll find pictures of a beautiful pool but unfortunately according to the office they did have it once and found some major cracks in it so they decided to just cover it up because of the expense.

This is a good overnight stop for the price.

If we had to ding it's for the sewer dump being about 8 inches above ground we had to get creative putting our little rv up on blocks so our drainage didn't have to go uphill. We managed ok with some creative help from my two 11 year old boys The pool water was cool but my boys enjoyed it. The game room had a few games and free foosball we all had fun playing. A very affordable price and comfortable place to stay. We will definitely stay again next time we travel through. The do have WiFi but we never got the password so can't comment on that Last note -- make sure you type correctly into map app or you will end up industrial area. The entrance is a dirt road.

The place was in the middle of no where but had things for kids to do .There was a play ground, bikes and a pool .The bathrooms were kid friendly which we thought was great. The place is tired and a bit run down but it was clean, quiet and safe. The only thing we couldn't take were the house flies . We couldn't sit outside ( this was late Sept) the flies were so bad. Safe , clean and quiet & a alright place to sleep for a night and rest up.

Tie-outs on your site are also allowed. Canoes were available for rent for $15/3 hours or $30/day. There's also a boat ramp as its a large 1350 acre lake.

It's like stepping into a living landscape painting, where every hue is a brushstroke by Mother Nature herself. At Snake Creek, every path is an invitation to a new story. Burgeoning waters crackle with the rhythm of the wind, fishing spots that promise the thrill of the catch, and picnic areas that welcome you to dine amidst the whispers of the wind. As the day ends, the real magic begins. The sun dips below the horizon, and the night sky unveils a masterpiece - a tapestry of twinkling stars. Gather around a crackling bonfire , share stories under the celestial canopy, and create memories that will sparkle forever. Snake Creek is a perfect stop for RVers. See our Leisure Travel Van below, happily cooling off after a long day's ride through the flatlands of Nebraska and South Dakota. Many slots for RV's are level: some are not. The campground is on the edge of a major waterway and the site follows the contours of the water. There are full, partial and no hookup sites for those with RV's. There's also tent sites. The bathrooms / showerhouses sparkle. And there's a dump site for RV's.

When we pulled up, there was only one RV near 15 empty RV spaces and us. Behind our spot, the mighty Missouri River which at this point was behind a dam and a mile wide. Our space had hookups intended for a RV to back-in, but I was not going to a miss an opportunity to sit and look out at the windshield. This campground did not have water or sewer, only electric, which is odd but for two days, it would not be a problem. Voilà, campsite setup! I loved this campground and this location. I would have feel comfortable staying here for two weeks, settling into a slower pace, with a beautiful view. Perhaps in the future, we will stop here for another stay. Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Would we come back? Absolutely, I am trying to figure out a way to pass through this part of South Dakota again. Informational: We travel in a 36' Class A RV.

We had trouble finding either a park that fit our 43 ft class A or no spots due to a few days before the 4th of July. We stayed ten days, got a 10% military discount which is the same as the Good Sams. The sites are all long so you don't need to double park and there's ample room between neighbors. The office, laundry, bathrooms and grounds are clean. We did not use the dog wash but several people did and said they were glad it was there. (We have a cat) We visited Chamberlain about 45 minutes West. It has a cute town to shop, eat or talk to the locals. Friday nights there's live outdoor entertainment and food trucks. Mitchell is a half hour East where there's a Walmart and a local grocery store. Kimball is about 20 minutes West with a tiny town, friendly locals and a great Vet at Countryside Veterinarian. We took our cat for his annual rabies shot and she only charged for the shot not an office visit too. Managers Mary and Steve are hospitable, and always available. They work hard keeping everyone as happy as possible! Great customer service! We definitely would go back if we are on I90 at White Lake.

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.
