Hill City Park and Campground — Attraction in Hill City

Decent city park beach, campground & boat launch. Nice hosts. Rates are ok. Sites are sand/gravel/grass. Most are level. Roads are gravel & wood chips. Nice newer playground equipment for the kids. Floating platform about 40' from the beach, my kids loved that.

Cons: a lot of ATVs driving thru, and some really racing around fast. One kid kept flying thru repeatedly during the day.

There were easily 50 cigarette butts on my site, and I saw them on other sites too.

Fire rings not cleaned. Mine had cig butts, old wood, and was pretty full of ash, ring next to me had a lot of trash in it.

Showers are 50¢, which I kinda feel is meh.

NO dump station. If you didn't get a FHU site, you'll have to go to the gas station & pay $10 to dump.

Pros: Bathrooms are decently clean, grounds kept mowed. Seems to quiet down at night. Road noise from MN200 is minimal. Each site has its own (small) garbage can. City maintenance staff were friendly, even using caution not to mow my awning tie downs. Nice.

Would stay again for a night or two. Keep the ATVs from zooming through and it'd be...

This was a nice campground with good rates. There aren't many sites and some of the RV sites were really small and right next to each other. The $20 tent campsite was fitting to our needs.

I wish that they would've raked the grass up after mowing as it got stuck all over our feet and legs. We didn't fish but saw some people pull some big ones out right off the dock. The water was nice and clear. The bathrooms and showers were clean but could use a fresh coat of paint. They lost out on some money from us because the workers weren't there the day we were there to sell us wood so we had to go to a nearby gas station. We enjoyed our stay and...

OMGosh. What a nice place to stay. Wish I would have booked longer. On the lake, shad and sun spots, quiet, of course, I had the place to myself, garbage bin at every site, no bugs, picnic table at most every spot, I had fire clean fire ring, lovely. So...
