Used my first few KOAs on a recent trip. Kennebec was a perfect layover KOA. Better price than a hotel. Quieter than a hotel. Water pressure in the shower - awesome. It will be my stop when traveling west across S.D.

The hosts were great!! They even brought me my credit card that I had left in the office! My only concern was that there is no code lock on the bathroom door. All was well, but that would give me more of a sense of safety. Beautiful stars at night and I was delighted to hear an owl as well as coyotes in the night.

It was a nice tent spot. We were by the creek. You could hear the creek when it got quiet. The manager was nice to let us switch camping spot so that our bigger size tent would fit on the sand pad.

Very friendly, helpful, informative staff. Park was clean and well kept. I needed to spend a night in South Dakota for establishing my domicile there and this spot was great!

The place is nice and clean. Bathroom is clean and plenty of hot shower. My tent is so close too highway and become very noisy at time.

The owners were fabulous! We will definitely be back again! They made us feel so at home and welcomed!

The shop hours are very minimal, 8-10am and 4-8pm, so we never spoke to a host or site staff. Our spot was decent, but very buggy. The bathrooms were outdated, but clean. There was no family or handicap accessible bathroom, which made it challenging for our family with young kids.

Very comfortable, excellent hosts! Thank you!

The couple working in the office are sweet as can be, and very kind. The bathrooms/showers are extremely clean. The pool could use some cleaning and chairs around it but it’s definitely useable. The campground itself is more “parking lot” camping area. The grills provided are pretty much unusable and more just in the way. That being said, it’s a good stopping point to get out west.

I enjoyed it.

It was great. Love the late check in possibility, bathroom was very nice. However, the water taps were not turned on at our campsite which was unfortunate.

Too noisy. Trains, semis downshifting, and highway noise.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sorry you found the area too loud. Early October is the peak of harvesting season. As a result there is a larger than normal amount of truck traffic on the highway. Unfortunately, we have little control over that issue.

We were only here long enough to get tons of mosquito bites. It was a quick overnight where we were car-camping. The KOA was well-laid out & sites looked fairly level. Main restrooms were fine. Bring bug spray!!

Clean campsites, and everyone was friendly and the bathrooms were decent.

Very pleasant host. Nicely kept campground.

Quiet and spacious site, clean bathrooms and super friendly and accommodating staff! The biggest issue was that there was no hot water for the women's showers in the morning (myself and another camper ran water for over five minutes and it never got even lukewarm). Otherwise, definitely a place I'd stay again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We apologize for the lack of hot water. Windy conditions put out the pilot light on the water heater and we were not made aware of the problem until many hours later. Once we knew, we took action and resolved the problem.

Mosquitos need attention and staff at counter was rude.
Jul 08, 2024
Nice and clean friendly and helpful but a little spendy
Jul 08, 2024
Weird placements of fire pits. Too close to each other. Having sites facing each other was different. The spotlights at the end of the roads made it feel like we were sleeping in broad daylight. Grounds were quiet; couldn’t really hear the traffic. Bathrooms were clean.

Beautiful pool and campground! Didn't get much time to visit since we were just passing through but the campground was clean and the facilities well maintained. All of the staff were very kind and polite!

Nice, clean restrooms - helpful staff.

After a long day of travel the people that checked me in were friendly and helpful. Didn't get to see much of the park but it was clean and nice. Would return on future travels. Thank you .

Great campground with clean and dry restroom/shower.

Very clean, cute and quiet surrounded by the prairies Well managed site grounds and friendly management! Very glad we stopped by!

The location was convenient however due to the proximity to the highway made it quite loud at night.
Oct 12, 2023
One night stay! End of season so not many campers. Staff was very friendly! Clean showers and restrooms. Would stay again!
Oct 06, 2023
Decent bathroom and shower facilities. Sites were clean and grassy. Kids had fun on playground. Not many additional amenities that we used.

Lit up so it never got dark.

Quiet and easy stay! Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to give specific and clear directions, including info about where is best to pitch the tent on our specific site. Also verbal review of the storm shelter location was very helpful, although we did not need it. Thank you!
Aug 13, 2023
Quick overnight stay. The office was super friendly and the facilities were very clean! Extra bonus was the fenced dog park area and grassy dog walk area. I would definitely recommend.
Jul 29, 2023
Pool was great after a long ride in the heat.

This KOA has new owners and they are in the process of updating this park. They were very accommodating and took care of our needs immediately. They have brought in gravel for all the roads and sites which makes them level and nice. Lots of natural grass between the sites as well. We will definitely stay here again

The Kennebec KOA is a gem of a campground. The staff take great care of the grounds and the area show the dedication to their wanting people to feel safe and comfortable when they camp here. It is a beautiful setting. The washroom facilities were spotless! I highly recommend a stop if you are traveling I-90 in South Dakota. They also have what looked like a great area for tent camping so motorcycle traffic this would be a great stop.

We stopped here for a night on our camping trip out west. What a hidden gem! The campground is very well kept, bathrooms are spotless (the showers are cleanest we have ever seen), and the owners are so friendly and welcoming! If you are in the area, be sure to stop by!
