About
Hazelton Recreation Area sits on the eastern shore of Lake Oahe, a 231-mile reservoir formed by Oahe Dam on the Missouri River. The campground is managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers and offers 30 campsites spread among mixed grass prairie with trees providing shade at many sites. Twelve sites feature 50-amp electrical hookups while eighteen are primitive. All sites include fire rings, picnic tables, and gravel pads accommodating vehicles up to 57-59 feet. The recreation area is popular with anglers targeting walleye, northern pike, and yellow perch in Lake Oahe's waters. A two-lane boat ramp with paved parking and courtesy docks provides lake access, while a fish cleaning station with electricity is available for processing the catch. Beyond fishing, visitors enjoy a 9-hole disc golf course, walking trail, and playground. The surrounding public lands are open to hunting for deer, pronghorn, pheasant, and waterfowl during appropriate seasons.
