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!

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!

Great and easily accessible RV site with good uncluttered views. Alan’s substantial Buffalo (Bison) herd is able to be viewed close up and his available Buffalo steaks and sausages are quite tasty. The weather when we were there was damp and raining but we can only imagine how much better it would be in clear conditions.

This was in a beautiful field with a great view! Alan is an awesome host. For anyone concerned, the Buffalo are in a separate fenced off area. 🙂

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!!

We had a great time tent camping here! The site we were at had very soft soil so our stakes did not hold well, but as long as it is not a windy night there shouldn’t be any issues. He was very kind as well.
