best hosts
Sally and Paul are the best camp hosts of any camp we have been to. Always stop to say high and are nice. Other campgrounds need to stop mowers from mowing grass and spewing it on us and our food when we are sitting right there.

Shower curtains really for the price you pay and camp sites. And was full don’t u think we can afford shower curtains that aren’t 3 inches short on each side!!
Shower curtains are short across 3 inches on each side.
And doors don’t latch on stalls

Beautiful, large sites
The only criticism we would have would be the lack of water hook up on sites. No sewer either, but the lake of water was slightly annoying.

Annual Camping Trip to Oahe
Great campground hosts. New and additional dump site a big positive. Would like to see hand dryers in restrooms updated. Would like to see the posts with number of pad eliminated and the number painted onto the ground. of the pad The posts make is difficult to get larger campers backed in and have had friends hit the post with camper. The old dump station needs a new end on it for flushing tanks and the new dump station doesn't have an attachment to flush out camper tanks. Need to spray for mosquitoes.

Campground was well kept and clean. Outstate people are required to pay an extra $10 a day to stay there. Campfire wood is overpriced for what you get. But, the couple days we stayed there were pretty good.

Very quiet and well thought out cabin. Beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for a great stay. Only complaint was that the driveway in front of the cabin could use some gravel as it got quite muddy after the rain.

Disappointed
Oahe downstreamCampground 3 older shower house. We stayed a full week and all week long the ladies shower house light would not stay on long enough to shower. They have the lights on motion activated. When you are alone and in the shower house there is not enough motion to keep them on. I had to walk out of my shower and wave my hand 10 times to finish showering ever night. I reported this to the check in staff every day. It was still not working when we checked out 7 days later. They assured me they would get it fixed but it never was. Just set the light to remain on for at least 1/2 hour. If you’re worried about conserving energy fix the show hose that leaks a lot of water while showering. Sorry, this is the first time I have had this bad of experience at Oahe Down stream. The check in staff were very friendly. This was not there fault, it was the maintenance staff that did do the job.

Always great there since early 90's. The site has improved alot since then. Trouble with the reservation app. Though. Many complained of how long it takes and entering your birth date by phone needs attention. Had to go month to month over 63 years to enter my date. Very painfull. Timed out many times. Many similar complaints from others.

I just wanted to say the park staff are great and they go above and beyond to help campers have a wonderful visit. The facilities were very clean and the staff member even came in on a Saturday to help us solve a problem with the lodge. The view is beautiful and the lodge is very comfortable and very well furnished.

Another Black Hills Adventure
Stayed at Game Lodge campground for Black Hills and CSP spring turkey hunts. Hiked many miles both in and out of park. Had opportunities in the park but couldn't close the deal. Filled my BH tag.
Campground was clean, with good facilities. Well laid out and not crowded. Well maintained and groomed.

Early Spring Stay
We stayed in early April for a couple of reasons 1) getting in on the Walleye fishing this time of the year 2) campground is not crowded. The cabin and outside area was clean, and lights and A/C worked well. The comfort station had just opened, and it was always clean. I think there may have been two or three sites that were occupied in Campground 3 that weekend, so it was quiet too. This is our third time staying there and we will always come back.

Poor Reservation System
I had no issue with the campsite. My issue was trying to reserve the site. It took me a day and a half and numerous attempts on the website to finally confirm and pay for the reservation. It is a very frustrating system!!

Oahe Down Stream
Great campground and cabins. Bathrooms were clean but lacking hot water. Luke warm at best. Other than that I’d like to see the cabin lightbulbs replaced on the decks as they do not do much. And please sell real firewood instead of cut up kindling for $6.00 per bundle. The state prohibits outside fire wood from being brought in but you under deliver the firewood you make campers buy.
Great location right along the river and near facilities. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful Fall Camping.
Snuggled into your campsite amidst giant cottonwoods with leaves dropping and transforming the landscape is a beautiful thing. The park is beautiful and well maintained, and it is always nice to see campers who respect the facilities. Fantastic visit, and a great time riding the trails throughout the park.
Only downside: extremely poor cell phone service.

the week with wasps
First off, we love the cabins at the Oahe downstream rec area and have been coming to the cabins regularly for many years. It is one of our favorite places to vacation for riding our bikes and fishing. This year upon arrival we noticed there were a lot of Wasps around the cabin, as the as the days warmed up the numbers of wasps got to be unbearable, we could not even sit outside on the patio , and several times we had a Wasp get inside while we were coming in or going out, we talked to other folks in the other 3 cabins and they had the same issues with Wasps. We bought 2 cans of Wasp spray and I probably killed a dozen or so but it made no dent in the Wasp population. This is an issue that needs resolved and may require the services of an exterminator to determine were they are nesting because we saw no obvious nests on our cabin but we did see them entering between gaps in the siding. We will be back next year but we hope you can resolve this issue

Downstream camping cabin
My wife and I love the camping cabins in campground 3. We were kind of put off by the park staff's approach while we were leaving the site. We were out of the cabin by the 11 AM time but were still folding up chairs and emptying our cooler of water when the staff member drove up and gruffly stated we were supposed to be out by 11:00 AM. The time was 11:15 when the park staff addressed the check out time. Prior to this visit we have always had very nice interactions with the campground staff. They have always been pleasant toward us prior to this interaction.

Always wonderful!
Our stay at Oahe downstream is always wonderful. The sites are nice, facilities are clean, and neighbors are friendly. Our kids enjoy the swim beach and playground areas. I think that due to lack of use, the playground area closest to our site was covered in spider webs, not a big deal for me, but it bothered my wife.
