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.

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!!
