About this campground
Arlington's Lake Poinsett State Recreation Area sits on the shores of one of South Dakota's natural lakes, accommodating RVs up to 60 feet with electric hookups and standard amenities. The campground operates year-round with two distinct camping loops, including pull-through sites that reviewers note for their spaciousness and 50-amp service availability. Campers report clean restroom facilities and a designated swimming area with clear water access, though the shoreline lacks sandy beach areas. The park includes a playground and geocaching opportunities for families. For additional options, see [campgrounds around Arlington](https://thedyrt.com/camping/south-dakota/near/arlington).
