Oregon Trail RV Campground

Nice peaceful spot, shady, quiet, all utilities for the camper, has mature trees, green grass, picnic tables. a shower house… perfect distance to Lake McConaughey. And what we found to be the coolest surprise is that it is just across the river from Ash Hollow on the Organ and Mormon trails. The kids loved the lake, I loved the history at Ash hollow, old school house, museum, and of course to walk on the Organ trail!  This was a great quiet place to return each night. And there is plenty to do in the area. 

Stayed 1 night at Oregon Trail Trading Post Campground at $31.60 per night with FHU.  This 12 site campground is just a basic campground, W/E/S with shade trees.  Very few residents were present and the road noise, while present subsided after dark.  Paying at the Trading Post was quick and easy.  The sites were mostly level, but the sewer connection are on the wrong side at several sites.  Water pressure was at 30 PSI.  I received NO OTA TV stations.  Verizon and AT&T worked well.  There is an active train track near-by but there are no crossing’s near-by requiring a train horn.  There is no bathrooms or showers.  No pool or kiddy playground.

For being in the middle of nowhere, its a pretty nice little 12 slot (pull thrus) campground with electric, water, and sewer at each spot. Trees to shade each spot, picnic tables are not right outside your door, but across gravel road...you could probably go grab one and carry it to your slot....There is a R/R track about 100 yards north of campground, beyond a row of large cedar trees, but we are here in July, will be running AC all night, and I seriously doubt we'll hear it...the campground is VERY well kept. You stop in at the convenience store/cafe/gas station, pay your 25 bucks and pick your slot....tonight, we are here with 2 other campers...just for info only, you are only 4 hours from Custer, SD/Custer State park (where we are coming from, on our way back home)....and that is our daily limit for driving (retired! 👍👍)

We needed a few days to relax. This was the perfect place. It’s in the middle of nowhere, but it had full hook ups, and a small cafe 1/2 mile away. There was no laundry or showers, but It had Full shade  trees and grass. Only 12 spots. The only drawback, the train is next to the rv park. However, it didn’t bother us. 

Full hookups $25/nt. Shaded and fairly spacious grassy/gravel sites. Near train tracks so wear earplugs if light sleeper. Has decent cafe for breakfast and lunch (we had breakfast), convenience store/gas station open 6-6 and that’s where you check-in .
