South Dakota
Now we admit that we may be a bit biased as Northeastern South Dakotans, but here are some of our absolute favorite local camping spots.
Oakwood Lakes State Park
This is one of our surefire favorites! Our family has been camping at Oakwood for as long as we've been camping. Click on the title for details.
Pelican Lake Recreation Area
This spot has to be a close second. We've been camping at Pelican for quite some time, and have definitely grown to love it!
Roy Lake State Park
Roy Lake is still a favorite of our two boys. When they were just sprouts they loved this spot for its fishing, playgrounds, and wonderful little trails. We say little because they aren't especially lengthy, but that's what makes them perfect for younger kids, so if you've got 'em, we definitely recommend checking out Roy Lake.
Lake Poinsett Recreation Area
This is a spot close to home. It's a lovely campground with plenty of lake access, and nice playgrounds for the kiddos.
Palisades State Park
We've only been here once or twice, but the experience was a positive one, so we thought it should make the list.
