Camp Iyataka
Camp Iyataka offers both developed and primitive camping areas. Developed sites (sites 1-11) have covered shelters, picnic tables, pit toilets, and fire rings. While most campsites are located on the lower level, next to the lake, there are several excellent campsites on the upper level, located just north of the Lodge. Rural water is located in front of the lodge and on the South end of camp along the road. These are outdoor hydrants that are locked, but the gate key will open them. Firewood is very abundant, with many woodpiles located throughout the camp.
Popular activities at the camp include fishing, hiking, canoeing or boating, and exploring the network of trails criss-crossing the property.
Much of the camp is heavily wooded, with abundant resources for lashing and pioneering projects.
For those interested in nature, the camp abounds with many species of trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and other vegetation . The camp is also home to deer, rabbit, wild turkeys, pheasants, hawks, and more.
For those interested in area-wide activities or games, there are two large beaches on the lower level, and several large open areas on the upper levels.
Important Road Information:
Address:
47218 131st St Wilmot, SD
The township chairman would like for Scouts to use 133rd street when driving to Camp Iyataka this winter.
133rd is 3 miles north of SD Hwy 15 and is a blacktopped road for 3 miles east, then turn left (north) and go 2 miles, you will come to a T, then turn right and you are at camp.
They are going to keep these roads open this winter, so please use them.
They are not plowing 131st St which is the road going straight west of camp to the Browns Valley rd because of a couple of real bad spots on it and no-one lives on this road and they want to save money for the township. So please have people use these alternative roads for fewer headaches.
We would always advise people to use their 4 wheel drive vehicles when driving to Camp Iyataka because of the distance off the paved roads and the volatile weather.
