I've hunted in South Dakota for 20 years or so now. We hunt around 90 miles north of Pierre on the North Dakota border.
If you are planning on hunting opening weekend on public ground you will have a lot of competition. Bird count is up this year compared to last year, but that is still low for South Dakota.
Most of the small towns have RV parks, and I have never seen one that was full. Hotels will be another story.
I hunt and grew up a little south and east of that area, but I would agree with looking at small town rv parks. Some of them are hidden gems.
