Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Good spot for an overnight stay. Stayed on a rainy day and the gravel base was a little loose requiring us to use leveling pads unt the wheels to stop the slight sinking in the gravel.
Could not get away from highway traffic or train whistles wherever I stayed from NJ to Yellowstone.

Very convenient campground right in heart of South Sioux City It was clean and well maintained, and we liked staying here. In late Sept the campground was not full and our site (#38) was down near the river so we had a view of the river and at night we saw the city lights in the distance which was very picturesque. Our campsite had a concrete pad (back in) and we asked for just electricity and water - which was reasonable at $27/night. FHU sites are available. We found that it was a quiet campground and we did not hear freeway noise from across the river. There is a train whistle in the distance but it also was not bothersome. The restrooms with showers were very clean. There was a firepit and picnic table at the site although it was too windy the day we were there to use them. The campsites are not jammed together and there are trees throughout the campground which would provide some shade in summer. There aren't many campgrounds near Sioux City, so this is a great option when in the area. The campground is right next to a large YMCA facility with a big swimming pool which might be available to campers (families with kids), and there are miles of walking trails. Highly recommend.

No real complaints. Clean campground, friendly hosts. Prefer more nature, but not a bad stop on a long drive. Right on river, but huge park with lots of campers, and tucked in between soccer fields. Safe and convenient though, and had a camp fire. Wifi not very good, but electric and water hookups were fine.

The site for our size rig had water and elec. only. We were right by the river. Pulled the patio open and enjoyed the view. Didn’t use the restrooms. Park was clean and pretty full for the 4th of July weekend. Easy access and friendly staff. We could hear the freeway and train horns often. Didn’t bother us.

This is a campground close to home where we could "test drive" our camper. We have now stayed a total of 3 different times and keep coming back because it is so nice. The view of the river is great but do not plan to go in for a swim as it is a very fast moving river with dangerous undercurrents. The noise from the interstate on the other side of the river can be noisy when the truckers use their jake brakes but overall it is a nice quiet place to stay. It is VERY clean! The bathrooms are really kept up nice and for me being a first-time camper, they didn't freak me out. Highly recommend!

Upon looking at their hours on their website I thought they closed at 6pm on Tuesdays. We were told, when we called to reserve, to come directly to the office to check in. Upon arrival day I wasn’t sure we would make it by 6pm (the time listed online) so I called to verify what to do if we could not make it to check-in before closing. She assured me they were open until 8 but if we didn’t make it in time there would be a way to check in and get our info when we got here. PERFECT! I like easy 👍🏼.
When we arrived it was around 7pm so I tried they office and they were in fact open. So I do suggest verifying their office hours with them upon your arrival date.
My first impression was that the staff is super friendly. I do mean that truly!
There really aren’t good “views” but the sunset was beautiful. You can’t expect amazing views when you are facing a city, and also dealing with the MO river flooding. You can tell the park was/is still flooded in some areas, but I our site right near the river was nice and dry. It’s mostly near the bank where it’s still flooded/muddy.
I can’t speak on facilities, cable, or WiFi as I didn’t use them. We had full hookups and 2-3 bars with T-Mobile which was a nice change from our drive up to the point.
It is noisy from the city noise pollution. The campground itself seems quiet (but busy). You can’t expect much from a city campground in the way of seclusion and silence.
It is not far off of the highway at all, so very convenient for a stop over! It seems to offer many fun things to do, and right near a lot of attractions and food!

As far as city camping goes this campground was great. Spaces are closer than we typically enjoy but the park was great and super friendly. Site 04 was a great pull through with a view of the water.

Site is right at the Missouri River. No sewer on this side but 50 amp electric and water. There are some with sewer hookups for a few bucks more. Dump station on site. We booked full hookups but we were given a site without sewer. Bathrooms and showers were ok. Showers are communal. Not a fan. I used handicapped shower. Was long enough I didn’t have to dress/undress in a common area. Showers are a bit old but doable. Site was fairly flat. Didn’t have to raise one side but one LEGO block to be level. Close to Sioux City IA .. just over the river. But South Sioux City had everything. Gas, Walmart, Hyvee and multiple fast food restaurants. Overall a decent stay. Was nice to see the water out the windows and the downtown city lights of Sioux City at night.

We were visiting family who happened to live just a few minutes from this campground. While it was busy, it was quiet. We had a spot on the riverside with a covered picnic area right across from us. It was a great place to sit out and enjoy the view. We had electric and water and they had free WiFi. The YMCA is right next door and the pool is great! There's also a 20+ mile bike trail that goes through the park. We intended to ride it but it started raining. We were here during a super hot streak, so out AC was working overtime. The spots on the riverfront are not really shaded. There was what looked like a shared fire ring and a picnic table. My only turnoff was that the street is not very wide and it was rather challenging backing into our site with our dually truck.

This is one of the nicest city parks we've stayed in. The roads are easy to navigate within the park. The sites were good sized and fairly level and the signage was good. The park staff were super friendly and very helpful. This park is right on the Missouri River and prone to flooding on the lower sections. The upper sections have beautiful, old trees but the outer sites are DirecTV/Sat friendly.
There is a train line, just across the river, and its pretty loud. But not enough to keep us up!
PLEASE NOTE: Do NOT follow the GPS, it will take you into the Y parking lot. When you turn onto Riverfront drive, simply follow the BLUE CAMPING SIGNS.
