A Spectacular Spot In South Dakota Where You Can Camp Right On The Beach

We often write about all of South Dakota’s beautiful places, and encourage you to get out and explore them. What’s a better way to explore than by camping in the wilderness? How about camping right by a beach? Take a look!

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

Lewis and Clark Recreation Area is in Yankton near the South Dakota/Nebraska border. It's located right on Lewis and Clark Lake.

There are five campgrounds along the lakeshore, offering RV and tent sites as well as cabins. Most sites are very close to the beach.

For instance, Cabin M at East Midway Campground, is just steps away a glorious stretch of sand.

From your front door to the beach...in 30 seconds! And, you'll even find some shady trees on the beach, which are welcome on a hot, summer day.

The cabins at Gavin's Point are also very close to the beach.

The campground is nice and shady, with plenty of green grass.

The cabins are the same in each campground. Each offers air conditioning, electricity and heating, a dining table with benches and bunks for four to five people. Outside, you'll find a fire pit and picnic table.

While you're here, you'll find plenty to do. Take a stroll or bike ride along the lake...

...and of course, play or relax on the beach!
