Beaver Creek Recreation Area

About

Beaver Creek Recreation Area is located on the north side of Beaver Bay on Lake Oahe, the fourth largest reservoir by water volume in the United States. The lake extends 231 miles from Pierre, South Dakota to Bismarck, North Dakota with 2,250 miles of shoreline through mixed grass prairie and occasional wooded draws. The campground offers 61 reservable campsites, with 45 featuring 30-amp electric hookups. Sites accommodate tents, RVs, trailers, and fifth wheels, with some pull-through sites available and max vehicle lengths up to 65 feet on select sites. Amenities include a picnic shelter with electric hookups, seasonal flush toilets, vault toilets, and drinking water during peak season. A fish cleaning station with water and electricity operates during peak season. Visitors come to Lake Oahe for boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing for walleye, northern pike, and yellow perch. A three-lane boat ramp with two docks provides easy lake access, with an additional single-lane ramp on the southeast side of the bay. The surrounding public lands offer hunting opportunities for deer, pronghorn, pheasant, grouse, and waterfowl. A playground and nature trail are available for families.
