We know summer means swimming and playing outside! 

Our pool and jumping pillows hours are 10:00 am to 8:00 pm.
These hours are subject to change.

Pool and Jumping Pillow Guidelines:
1. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult (18 years old or older) at all times while at our pool and jumping pillow.
2. No glass in or around the pool or jumping pillow.
3. Please no pets in the pool or jumping pillow areas. 
4. We ask water toys be kept to the pool. Our jumping pillow becomes very slippery when it gets wet. 
5. No lifeguard on duty, so swimming is at your own risk. 
6. Swimsuits are required, no outside clothing may be worn in our pool. 
7. Diaper aged children must wear a waterproof swim diaper in our pool.

Having visitors? We love that you want to make memories with your friends and family at our campground! 
We do have some simple guidelines that we ask of you:
1. Please have your guests check in at our front desk if they plan to use our Amenities. We do have a small fee of $5.00 per person, but must be accompanied by you, our registered guest. 
2. We ask that all guests depart the campground no later than 10:00 PM, this respects our quiet time hours and the stay quality of other guests. 
3. You as our registered guest are responsible for your visitors and ensure that they know and understand the campgrounds policies.

Bringing your furry friend with you? 
At KOA we love our pets, and we are happy to share the camping experience with them. However, not everyone camps with their pets so we do have some simple guidelines on pets stays at the campground.
1. Please keep all pets on maximum 6ft leash.
2. Pets can not be left unattended outside on sites. 
3. We know picking up after our pets isn't fun, but it's worse when you pick up after other peoples pets. Please do your best to clean up your site and the park when you're out walking with your pet. 
4. Kamp K9 is a dogs favorite place! This is their park to run, play and be free of that 6ft leash we mentioned before! Please use this space to let your dog be a dog, but we ask that you are respectful of other dogs and guests and be sure to clean up any messes. 
5. We do allow dogs to stay in our cabins! However, if you plan to leave your pet unattended please plan to have them in a kennel in the cabin. This helps maintain and eliminate damages.

Local Firewood is available for sale at the office. Help slow the spread of  the Emerald Ash Borer in our parks, don't transport wood into the state of South Dakota.  The South Dakota Department of Agriculture (SDDA) reminds people to get firewood from the local area to prevent transportation of unwanted forest pests into and around the state.
Thank you for doing your part to protect our parks from this destructive insect- one that has killed tens of millions of ash trees in at least 32 states.

Camping is all about the kids and at KOA we love when families come together to build good memories.
To keep everyone safe we do ask that all children under 12 be accompanied by an adult when using our restrooms, or enjoy our swimming pool.
Parents, even camping you are solely responsible for the safety of your children and we just ask that you please keep an extra eye on them, even at the campground.

The comfort of all of our guests is important to us, we hope that you can still enjoy your campfire and/or morning coffee during our quiet hours.

10:00 pm to 8:00 am

Camping can often times mean little critters and they love getting into the garbage! Please keep all garbage inside or locked up at night. If you need to throw anything away, we do provide trash bins located on your way out of the park! You can find the exact location on your site map or feel free to stop in the office.

Everyone loves to celebrate with fireworks and we are included in that! However, we have to ask that no fireworks be lit or set off inside the campground.

Need to empty your RV tanks?
Be sure to have all of your rv hoses hooked up to our sewer properly. If you need any equipment, we have supplies in our store!
Please do not empty any of your tanks on the ground, this is a health issues and fees will accrue.

We are located in Yankton County. 
If there is imminent weather, our bathhouse is our shelter.

The property located at the south end of the campground, is private. Please do your best to respect that privacy of our neighbors and their archery business. They would be glad to welcome you, if you have any interest in participating in their activities. Please see our Local page for more details about this great opportunity.
