If I didn't have somewhere to be tonight, I'd have spent the night here in Sexauer Park. This park…read moreallows camping with 18 paved pads for trailers and RVs, five of which are pull-through and the remainder are back-in. The pads are only $25 plus tax, which is a complete bargain. The campground is operated by the city of Brookings and is the only park in the city that allows camping. They have electrical hook-ups, picnic tables, a playground, restrooms with showers and even a dump station. Very awesome and I enjoyed having a nice walk around today. The only thing missing is a water or sewer hookup, but that's really a minor inconvenience for a self-contained camper van. [Review 17852 overall - 58 in South Dakota - 1373 of 2022.]

A total gem of a city campground for a very nice price. Try for site #15 - you're not going to get…read morea sewer connection, but the lake view is totally worth it! Site #26 is also pretty nice, and is a pull thru site with full hook-ups. Showers and restrooms are pretty darn clean for a city run campground. Dog friendly, and there are plenty of trails to walk your furry pal on. No cable, but Mitchell does get 3 local channels via antenna, and it's so pretty here you're not going to watch much tv anyway. WARNING (and why this review is only 4 stars): If you're looking to stay here to enjoy the lake, forget it. The lake is pretty gross and full of blue-green algae, so DON'T plan on swimming. Or leting your kids swim. Or letting your dog anywhere near it. If your only interested in the view, the trees, and a nice quiet place to chill out, it's still worth it, IMHO.

My family rolled in after 9:00 p.m. on Saturday night after the 4th of July, praying for a site to…read morebe open. There was a list available to see which sites were reserved, though it was a tad confusing because it wasn't in what we thought was a logical order. But we found a site without any neighbors and got set up rather quickly. If I remember right we paid about $30 for our electric post site. The campground was pretty quiet despite being just off the business loop and on the lake during a holiday weekend. The next morning we had to pack up right away, but not before my daughter enjoyed a hot shower in "the cleanest campground shower ever" (she's 14, so picky) and we got ready for the day in the *very* clean bathroom. This was very much appreciated after two weeks camping on BLM land with only a pit toilet available! We spoke briefly with the owner who told us she's managed it for the city for just a couple years and is still working on upgrades, but I thought the bathrooms were great as is. We were very satisfied, and if we could have stayed longer we would have made use of the lake and playground.

They charged us a flat rate for each tank regardless of how much was still in each tank. Between the two tanks we were a little over 40 pound and it cost us $61 and some change to fill the two tanks. We are really glad we weren't planning to stay here. This unscrupulous practice makes me wonder what other things they do to unsuspecting customers. What other methods of cheating are they doing??

And this place has gone down hill, Since we moved here 12 yrs ago. Lot rent is way to high. Reason for higher lot rent is cause they are keeping up with inflation. It's not to fix things around here or put in a tornado shelter. By the way no shelter here in case of extremely bad weather. They tell you go to the police station across town if you have no place to go. Water shuts off frequently around here. Plumbing system is out of date have a lot of issues. Valves under trailer houses that park provides are faulty and out of date. They don't notify you about anything except wanting more money for lot rent. They have higher standards for keeping your home and yard clean which is very much appreciated. They don't tolerate disturbances. They try to keep peace in the park. Which is a pulse. They do plow in the winter which has improved a lot since we moved in. They do need to put down salt or sand down when the roads get icy. We are informed about new owners and such business like that. It seems like anymore the owners try to do cheap fixes or repairs.
