Dakota Sunsets RV Park and Campground

Campsites at the Dakota Sunsets RV Park and Campground are just three minutes’ drive from the center of Salem, which is home to a small grocery store and a gas station if you need to fill up your RV rental. There’s also a handful of eateries if you don’t feel like cooking, including a cafe, a steakhouse, and a brewery. Salem campers are also just 45 minutes’ drive from the heart of Sioux Falls, which centers around an impressive cascade within Falls Park along the Big Sioux River. The park encompasses many of the first buildings to be established in the city, including the late-19th-century Queen Bee Mill and a historic barn that now houses the Stockyards Ag Experience. Take in the views across Sioux Falls from the observation tower, then dine at the aptly-named Falls Overlook Café, which occupies a former hydroelectricity plant. Sioux Falls is home to several engaging museums, including the Old Courthouse Museum, where the city’s history is showcased. Join a guided tour of the Queen Anne-style residence at the Pettigrew Home & Museum or learn about advancements in the medical world at the Sioux Empire Medical Museum, where old nursing uniforms, equipment, and photographs are displayed. If you’re traveling with kids, don’t miss a visit to the Great Plains Zoo & Delbridge Museum of Natural History. It’s home to rare species from across the globe, with highlights including their eastern black rhinos, Amur tigers, and snow leopards. Also not to miss is the waterpark in Sioux Falls, which lies a little closer to the Dakota Sunsets RV Park and Campground. It’s the largest waterpark in South Dakota, with a wide assortment of waterslides, a wave pool, and bumper boat lagoon where you can cool off during the summer months, as well as “dry” activities such as mini-golf and paintball. Whether you want to explore the cultural and historical museums of Sioux Falls or witness the bison herds of Big Mound, book an RV in McCook County and start planning your next vacation.
