A very nice state park at a very reasonable rate. Sites have 30 amp electric only, no sewer or water hook up. A dump station is available with potable water. Most sites have a view of the lake, or the "pond" as it is refered to. The biggest drawback for us was the mosquito population made it hard to hang out outdoors. It sold out on the weekends, and was nearly deserted during the week. At a different time of year this park would be a 10. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a beautiful campground on beautiful Lake Herman. The staff was friendly and helpful. The sites were large and well spaced. The only negative were no sewer hookups. We stayed on a Monday and Tuesday and there were only 3 other campers in the campground. It was very, very quiet. There isn't a swimming pool but there is a beautiful swimming beach. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice park with friendly staff. If your are not a South Dakota resident you also need to pay a $6.00 per vehicle access fee in addition to the camping fee. Park was easy to get in and out with good paved interior roads and fairly level gravel sites. We had a very nice site right on the water. Someone had parked in out site and we were slightly delayed in setting up, but they gave us 3 free bundles of firewood as compensation. I was towing a trailer that I had to drop in their parking lot, but the lot was large and easy to get into and out of. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There is fresh water and a dump station available. The pull through sites are located alongside the campground road. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very relaxed atmosphere. Small CG on large lake. No water or sewer hookups but very clean restrooms and showers. We were located right next to them. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If fishing is important for a campground, this is a great park, in fact the central theme is fishing! CG has a small playground, no hiking trails, water and a dump station. Sites are level and deep with some seperation. We camped here in a camper.
