The best camping near Corsica with fishing

Fishing draws campers to Corsica, where over 670 campsites let you cast a line in waters teeming with local fish. Sites like Diamond A Cattle Ranch (59 reviews), Serenity Fields (37 reviews), and Lakota Youth Development (9 reviews) get high marks from regulars. Expect average nightly rates around $150, with some spots dipping as low as $30. Bring your rod and tackle; these campgrounds put you steps from rivers and lakes where quiet mornings and patient afternoons pay off. Pets are welcome at most sites, and you’ll find toilets and showers to keep things comfortable. Between casts, hit the trails for hiking or catch glimpses of local wildlife—horseback riding is another favorite in the area. Corsica isn’t just a stop for fishing; it’s a base for outdoor days that start early and end around the campfire.

A new two-bathroom shower house is now available for our guests' use. There are seven electric only pedestals for your RV or camper.

3. Paulson RV Park

47mi from Corsica · 8 sites · Tents, RVs

There have been a lot of people who have come through this park in the 30+ years I have been apart of it. We would like you to be added! This park used to be a full service mobile home park. There are still some trailers that remain. Each site is big enough to accommodate a double wide mobile home so even the largest RV one can bring in has lots of space to spare.

5. Lake Francis Case

136 sites · Pickstown, South Dakota

There will never be dull moment while visiting Lake Francis Case (well ulness you take a relaxing nap)! Here you can take the boat for a spin, waterski, cast a line for some walleye, or hike around the area and do some hunting. You might want to make a point to check out the awesome Visitor Center and learn about the original inhabitants who settled here in 6,000 B.C., see the freshwater aquarium, or even take a tour of the Fort Randall Dam and learn about modern engineering. Birders will love the bonus of seeing migrating birds in spring and fall, and a large population of bald and golden eagles that nest here seasonally. Developed camping sites make it easy so wrangle up your camping buddies and make yourself at home!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Fields

This is a great place to get away, especially for a road trip. Having access to a bathroom and shower makes such a difference, and the facilities were so clean and so much was provided! We had a wide open space to camp, and went to explore the front area of the lodge in the morning before taking off. The lodge has a lot of information available to guest about the lodge and activities in the area. I would absolutely camp here again, and would look into the lodge rooms as well. Thank you Toni!

We love this place! Toni is the best! Everything about this place is clean and well loved. Each room has 4 beds and a private bathroom. There is a large deck where you can sit and chat and there is a large firepit for the evenings. We are always excited to stay here when passing through SD. Highly recommend!!
