Late Season Suggestion

We always have a great time at Lewis and Clark Campground. It's well kept, nice space, and great views from about any spot. A suggestion for late season campers like ourselves, would it be possible to denote which bathrooms have been shut down for winter similar to how the spots are "booked"?

Dump station traffic jam

Lewis and Clark Recreation Area is one of our places to camp, that is if we can secure a site. The park was in great condition and the facilities are pretty clean. My only issue with this particular outing was the traffic jam at the dump station. For wat ever reason on side of the station was closed. A bit to early to start closing the stations down.

Great camping experience. Park was well maintained, employees we spoke with were quick to help. Traveled from Missouri up to Yankton to spend time with our son. Had a great week.

I filled out a survey from my last time and had some valid comments. I said I would like to be contacted. No contact--hence the title of my review.

Cabin m

It would be really nice if the cabins had a small dorm size fridge. Other than that it’s a great place to go and will be returning

Love the atmosphere, too many that don’t follow rules however

We love most things about this park. The last several times we’ve been here however it seems other campers don’t follow the rules. Not only is there always multiple dogs without leashes, there have been times there are non worker vehicles on the bike trails. When you come up over a hill and see a random car driving towards you, not the best feeling. Our girls pointed it out on several occasion this year.

Love SD

The Gavins Point section is simply the best place to be along the Missouri River. You dont need to do anything all day but stare at those bluffs. The park as a whole is clean and welcoming. The camping spots are ample and theres enough distance between sites so that u cant hear conversations. The park is close to the dam and fish hatchery. It has a great trail system for walking and biking. We practically also had the beach to ourselves.

Lewis and Clark Camping Trip

What a wonderful camping trip for my family and me. The cabin was very clean and cooled down. Park staff drove through often which made us feel safe. The check in staff were friendly and helpful. The Fall event was fun to attended. So glad dogs are allowed in some of the cabins. Now our whole family can enjoy the camping experience!

Beautiful Park, but...

The park is beautiful. It is really nice seeing the geese, deer and turkeys walking through the park. It was a nice quiet weekend. When choosing to leave, I bypassed the dump station due to people dumping their trailers. I chose to go to the dump station located between L & C and the Marina. What a piece of junk! Dumping was fine, but when trying to run the rinse water to clean out the gray and black tanks, it was impossible to connect. It is bad enough the connections in the main parks are cut off (why?), but at least I can connect my own hose. An employee stopped by and when mentioned, he said it was from the 1960's. I figure with what is paid, the park could afford to update. And it would not hurt to have a connector so a person can clean their tanks.

Stayed at site 205 Lewis and Clark

We stayes at site 205. We chose not to have a camp fire because the Juniper bush was hanging over the ring. Recommend moving the ring or cutting back the bush. We loved how many trails the park had for bikes and walking. Brought paddleboards but it was way too choppy and boats get too close to the swim areas.
