Sunrise Campground

Come here quite often to enjoy the lake, fishing and waterpark and USUALLY it's a good time. Had a bad experience about 5 years ago with a lazy campground host living out of their old converted van. For a few years after that the hosts were awesome, went out of their way to be helpful... they'd guide you to your spot and help you back in safely in needed. This year (2025) the new hosts SUCK! They're so strict they ruin the fun camping! They make you park your camper THEIR way; your vehicle MUST line up with your camper, parked ONLY on the gravel at your spot and NO angled parking PERIOD!! Due to the design of my camper get no use from the concrete pad they advertise as an amenity because i MUST park their way or leave. usually I bring my motorcycle and park it at my site; glad I didn't this year. I couldn't park at the campground if i had... only ONE vehicle per site and they are so strict it's no fun to be here.... though I could have parked it on the concrete pad i CAN'T use.... and i'm here for 4 days and MUST pull my rugs up after 3 days... RULES! though IF I'd been able to use the pad ... there'd been no need. Showers are not clean, black mold in #4, #8 is out of order and there's only 4 serviceable for a campground of hundreds. usually there's kids running, playing, riding their bikes... this year it's like a morgue.... kids look sad. I'm not sure I'll come back until they get new hosts...

Overall, it was a very nice campground. Several rules and some fees if arriving early, and no campground access after 10p on your arrival day as you need a passcode to enter gates, but hosts seems nice and were helpful. Pull-through sites spacious, but 105 flooded terribly in the recent storm. A lot of sites by the restrooms and site 616 also had a lot of standing water - unusable if you were tenting and didn't have a camper.

Hosts were great, the views were spectacular and watching the Falling Cottonwood tree was scary. A lot of ants could be the only issue. Maybe the town can spray?

We had a very pleasant experience here. Great hosts who really made sure everyone was happy as could be! They even had a rock-painting event for the kids! Would 1000% recommend staying here!

Such a great campground! The view of Storm Lake is so beautiful, I'll add a few pictures, the sites are clean and shower house has plenty of showers, there is a laundry room with a nice size table to fold your items. The roads have recently had gravel added. The grass was mowed and sites marked clearly. There are small trees that will provide a bit of shade as they grow. Some sites are pull through and some are back in only. Sunrise is an overall nice place to camp. Bring a boat, kayak, or paddle board and enjoy the water. The fishing was pretty good depending on what type of fish you like to catch.
