One of my favorite parts of car camping is leaving the dehydrated food at home and grabbing the cast iron out of trunk . After no luck catching trout , we indulged in steak while camping in Camden .

We do have a portable solo stove you may use along with fire wood. Just let us know, but use proper fire safety and put out before retiring for the evening.

Weekend Trip to Edge Hill
We easily located Brian's spot and enjoyed exploring the cute town of Luverne as well as Beaver Creek (The Cidery!) as well as Sioux Falls. For larger rigs I would recommend spots 1 or 2. We ended up in spot 4 and we fit in it just fine, but we're not the best at backing up and it took us several tries due to the angle. (That's on us, not Brian!)

We stayed here twice- once on our way west and again on our way back home. Sites are mostly level and very easy to get into. It's extremely affordable for the amenities provided and a great option for a place to rest for the night. It'll definitely stay on our list as a stopover for future trips out west.
