Big Sioux State Recreation Area 410 West Park Street, Brandon, SD 57005

"We enjoyed the unpaved path of the Valley of the Giants trail. Stopped to take a peak at the cabin, too."

"Loved that the suspension bridge was close to the trailhead so it was within our hiking range for my little kids. We went after some rain and found that it wasn’t too muddy, though there were a few avoidable areas on the trail."

"Just enjoyed an early autumn family camping trip. The cabin had a nice patio area and fire pit where we all gathered in the evenings. Cabins are cozy and clean with a/c and heat for those who prefer some modern comforts. Bring your own bedding. Tent sites with and without electricity are available. The electric sites are large enough to feel private, especially if you choose a corner or spot near a cabin."

"Great campground, very quiet, great area. Disk golf course was fun, but hard for us super beginners. Lots of trails, park areas that kids loved to play in. There was an archery event being put on by the SF outdoor campus for kids to try archery while we were there and they loved it. Overall great experience, will be back!"

"Super nice park. Very close to a race track and a little noisy some nights. The races quiet down after 11pm. Very nice trails. Centrally located easy access to sites around town. Great level sites with power picnic tables. Dump station and water available. Dog friendly. Be aware if you are not a SD resident you are expected to pay $8.00 a day for each vehicle you have. This is in addition to your site reservation. We didn't see this information on the website. It may be there and we overlooked it. Just be aware."
