After our
brief stay in Wall, SD we headed more to the
east to another destination we had enjoyed so much in 2006. Our destination was Mitchell,SD.
Our chosen campground this
trip was Famil-E-Fun Campground.
We enjoyed
our stay there. The couple running the
park were friendly and helpful. The
facilities were all clean and well maintained.
There was
free wi-fi in the laundry room that extended to the benches outside of the
laundry room. The park manager guided us
to our spot where we were able to pull thru with ease. Complete hook-ups with 50 amp service were
the order of the day. Once discounts and
taxes were included our rate was $27.50 per night for the four nights we were
there.
It was a
little more than the national and state parks, but then it had more to
offer. We felt the rate was reasonable
for the accommodations.
The sites
are set up where they are double front to back sites, but during the off season
they park only one rig per site, which makes it a pull thru.
Once again
we were greeted with a beautiful sunset.
It seemed like everyone in the campground was out snapping photos of it.
There were
three sites we wanted to visit in the area.
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Homestead, the Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village, and of
course the Corn Palace.
We had
previously visited the last two in 2006, but enjoyed them so much we decided to
visit them again. Of course they will
each get their own write up to help keep this post from being too long.
All three
were an easy drive from Famil-E-Fun Campground.
The expressway get on is not far from the campground, but traffic noises
were not a problem. It worked out to be
the perfect four night stay spot for us while we were there.
If we should
venture to Mitchell again we both agree that this would probably be the place
we would stay.
