Kayakers and river enthusiasts will find direct water access at River of the Double Bend Campground, where the Big Sioux River curves through eastern South Dakota near Trent. The campground accommodates RVs up to 30 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. A camp store provides supplies, and the staff goes above and beyond for guests, as one camper discovered when they delivered beer mid-float trip.
The established campground operates year-round with restroom facilities and welcomes pets. Campers can rent kayaks on-site and paddle upstream before floating back to their campsite. Tippy Toe Acres sits just over two miles south for those exploring multiple river access points in the area.
