Fantastic Stay, Wonderful Setting
Snake Creek State Recreation Area is a rural campsite with full network coverage, waterfront (Missouri River), full hookups, and not ludicrously priced. 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.
Beautiful and relaxing!
We were able to snag a waterfront spot (41), which has a panoramic view of the river and bridge. It even has a path down to a private beach. Fantastic!
The park is well laid out, with lots of space between the sites - you should have no trouble finding space to yourself.
Our check in was a bit chaotic, as the ranger's computer station went down as we were checking in. We ended up having to book our own site online, while at the gate - and paying an extra $7.70 for the 'convenience'.
You also pay a $6 per day per vehicle fee on top of the site. All and all, that does make it a bit pricey! (The rate below is just for the campsite.)
We had very solid AT&T 4G and Verizon LTE while here.
Little Gem in the Boonies
This park is a bit "out there", but is one of the most gorgeous State Parks we've stayed at. It's located right next to the Missouri river (our RV site was literally 10 steps from the water) and has a beach, access to swimming & hiking. The sites are long, paved and farily flat with option for electric hook-ups. Good selection of shade and many sites have views of the water. Dump station and potable water on-site, plus hot showers (free) and flush toilets. Great place to hang out and relax and it's practically empty during the week. Not much else in the area, but that's the kind of place we like.
Note/ There is a SD state park pass fee in addition to the entrance/daily rate.
