Weather permitting, we will make every effort to open earlier, potentially in late April.
When making a reservation, please let us know your type of rig—for example, a motorhome pulling a car or trailer (30' or less) should select “motorhome pulling.”
Be sure to enter the exact length of your RV, from bumper to hitch/bumper. Some models (like “33XXX”) are often longer than the number suggests, so measure carefully or check online.
Our system automatically adds extra length to help your rig fit without unhooking. If you pick a site that's too short, you'll be asked to confirm if unhooking is okay. We even add 25' to account for long trucks!
Our sites range from 45' to 90' long, so most rigs fit comfortably.
If you are a Fifth Wheel Towing, a double trailer towing, or a tow trailer over 30 foot, please leave a note in your reservation so we can assign a site that fits your rig perfectly. You're also welcome to call us at 605-344-2247—we love helping campers find the right spot!

Help protect our parks!
To protect our forests, it is against South Dakota law to bring firewood from off-site, and it is also campground policy not to collect firewood within the campground. Please help slow the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer, Asian Gypsy Moth, and Asian Longhorned Beetle by only using locally sourced firewood. The South Dakota Department of Agriculture (SDDA) reminds campers to purchase firewood from the local area to prevent transporting unwanted forest pests into or around the state. These insects have killed tens of millions of ash trees in at least 32 states—your cooperation helps protect our forests for future campers.
Campfire Safety:
To help everyone enjoy a peaceful evening, all visitors are asked to exit the campground by quiet time at 10:00 PM.If you'd like to stay the night, stop by the office to inquire about RV, tent, or cabin availability—we'd love to have you!
General Pet Rules:
Our well-lit, enclosed check-in area is attached to the entrance of our A-frame building.
If you have a reservation:
When you arrive after hours, head to the self-check-in counter to the right of the front door. You'll find a map and packet showing how to locate your site. We will complete your check-in in the morning when the office opens and provide your receipt.
If you don't have a reservation:
You can still check in at the same counter. Self-registration packets will show which RV or tent sites are available. Completely fill out the Night Registration envelope, include your payment, and deposit it in the locked registration box. The packet includes a map marked with directional arrows to help you find your site.
No lodging accommodations are available after hours without a reservation.
Have your own Wi-Fi setup?
No problem—we've got sites without trees so you can get the best signal possible and stay connected while enjoying the great outdoors.
Our campground pedestals were designed for typical RV use, not the continuous electrical draw required to charge EV batteries.
Plugging your EV into a 30- or 50-amp pedestal could permanently damage your vehicle and our electrical system.
Even if your manufacturer provides a charging converter, it does not change the limitations of our campground's electrical infrastructure.
EV charging at our pedestals is strictly prohibited.
Violators will be asked to immediately unplug their vehicle and may be held responsible for damages or subject to eviction without refund.
Don't worry—there are Tesla and other EV charging stations available within 20 miles of the campground, and we're happy to provide directions.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and our electrical system functioning properly!

Hospitality runs through our blood—caring for people and creating enjoyable experiences.
Robert and Lisa Wice, Jr enjoyed their camping experiences so much that they decided to take it one step further and purchase their own campground. They were ready for a business of their own, and purchased the Belvidere East campground in Spring of 2018 and relocated from Michigan to South Dakota.Robert worked in the production/assembly department for GM and Lisa worked as a home health care provider. They had a previous business in Michigan for eight years which provided them experience in hospitality and customer service. "We really enjoyed working with customers on a daily basis. It's always enjoyable to make a customer happy and see them smile." Their goal is to provide customers with great service. "We treat them as we would like to be treated," they added.
They enjoy traveling to different states camping in their fifth wheel trailer with their three dogs, Bella, Dory & Ellie. They also look forward to continued traveling and camping in their fifth wheel during the off season, when they have the opportunity to check out other KOA campgrounds and meet other owners.
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
Make checkout easy by booking all your reservations at once. Add your sites from different campgrounds into your shopping cart* and then choose checkout.
