With all the land they have I don't know why they put the RV spots on a small hill. The back in spots are hard to get into, because of a steep slope. It was great to be so close to the homestead and the people were very accommodating. I advise only small RVs park in these sights. We have a 31 foot and we had to go over and down the slope to back into the spot. We would not go here again which is a shame because everything else was very good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Our family had a wonderful time here. The owners and staff make you feel like a family guest, rather than a customer. We ended up staying over a week because our kids had such a good time, the entire grounds were so well kept and the ambiance so nice. There are only 4 RV sites, so you may want to call ahead. The sites share a power so they are paired but we had the place to ourselves for half the week in late August. It's not well known that they have RV camping. There is a dump station but no sewer at the sites. The visitor center restrooms are new and very close. There is a storm shelter just in case. If you're coming to De Smet for the Laura Ingalls Wilder history, you have to stop here. If you have kids, it's a MUST stop. Their family approach and hands on is the best we've seen in over a year of traveling the country with our young sons. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here in a covered wagon that the Homestead has there. This is the original Ingalls 160 acre homestead. A great place to stay while in De Smet doing the Laura Ingalls Wilder thing. A must for those Little House on the Prairie fans. The rate is for a Covered wagon. $30 for a trailer site We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

This is a very basic, no frills place to camp for the night - basically a gravel shoulder on a road in the city park. The restrooms/showers were very clean. It's good if you need somewhere to crash at the end of a busy day (that's what we did), but not a place to spend a week. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
