Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸

While Labor Day may mark the end of the “camping season” for many, that doesn’t mean the camping season has to end here! Our campground is open year-round, giving you plenty of opportunities to continue making memories in every season.

As life gets busier and hauling the camper becomes more difficult, why not give one of our modern facilities a try? Our camping cabins make a quick and easy visit! With heat and electricity, you can enjoy added comfort while still experiencing the best parts of camping by sitting around the fire, enjoying the outdoors, and making lasting memories.

Planning a family gathering or celebration? Our group lodge is the perfect place to bring everyone together under one roof! Sleeping up to 15 guests and featuring a large family room and kitchen area, it is a great option for family getaways and special celebrations.

Keep the camping memories going all year long! Make your reservation today at campsd.com or by calling 1-800-710-2267.

For the 2026 camping year we will be making a post every Friday, dubbed “Fun Fact Friday”, to highlight some facts surrounding our nation’s 250th anniversary and the Adventure 250 Challenge.

FUN FACT FRIDAY: South Dakota became the 40th U.S. state on November 2, 1889 by President Benjamin Harrison when residents of the Dakota Territory voted to split the region in 1887.

Only a few weeks remain! There’s still time to get out, explore, complete your Adventure 250 activities, and put your name in the running for a weekly prize.

For the 2026 camping year we will be making a post every Friday, dubbed “Fun Fact Friday”, to highlight some facts surrounding our nation’s 250th anniversary and the Adventure 250 Challenge.

Our 13th Fun Fact Friday of the year highlights South Dakota’s biggest state park, Custer State Park.

FUN FACT FRIDAY: Established in 1912 Custer State Park was South Dakota’s first state park with 71,000 acres of land containing bison herds, granite peaks, and rolling plains.
