RangerBridge was out the former way in but walked a trail and found the new entrance. Nice, small park and campground. Pit toilets and cell service was weak but great place for a night.

It was great. Late in the season so quiet but close to town and rode in on my bike. Nice sites with a good view of the water.

We stopped here late at night after getting stuck trying to get to another free site. We were the only ones there. The restroom was clean and the river was quite pretty. A great horned owl slept in the tree above our van.

Hard to register without appropriate forms (the post was out of envelopes). Odd amount $16.91 for 1 night made for necessary change. Wish they’d make it whole dollars like Federal campgrounds. Several spots to choose from - all first come first serve. It just might be a gem!
LegendThis is one of my favorite campgrounds. The best spots are 194-196. They are back in sites and we have a large window on the back of our camper and get to look at the beautiful river. Great bird watching and lots of bald eagles. The sites are electric only but you can fill water before you come in. Sites are spacious with gravel. There is a picnic bench and fire ring at each site. This campground offers 8 cabins and tent sites also. The grounds and restrooms are kept up well. We came in September so there was hardly anyone around. Very peaceful
GuideWe are on an east/west/east trip. We were looking for a state park on the water that was on our route. We were so lucky to pick this one. A beautiful state park on Lake Oahe. We lucked out and had a site right on the water. Campsites were big with plenty of room to tie out both of our big dogs. Hubby could walk out of the camper and fish. Campground 3 would be my choice overall as it has a row of sites right along the river. Bathhouse immaculate. Showers great. Good walking paths for humans and dogs and saw many folks cycling. Only downside which couldn’t be helped are all the flies. Take a fly swatter and fly traps/ tape. Days later and down the road we are still finding flies in our camper!

Up a hill is this campground. You can see the town and river down below. We visited in March and it was soooo cold. Didn’t come out of camper except to walk dogs. The grounds were kept up and clean. We did not meet any staff. When we came in our water hookup was frozen so they moved us to a spot where the had a heated cover on water pipe. Didn’t have any issues after.
ScoutLila is an amazing host. She called before we arrived and then texted detailed directions. On arrival we were quickly checked in, given a bag and told to fill up with candy from a wide selection. Halloween! Then we got to our site which has a wonderful view over the Missouri River and the city of Pierre.
ScoutIncredible views and even better service. Highly recommend this RV park,bathrooms are very clean and the atmosphere is inviting. The owner,Lila is a joy!
GuideThis campground sits on a hight overlooking Pierre, the capital, and the Missouri river. Beautiful at night. Campsites are close together with full hookups. Many amenities are offered on site such as horse shoes, Egg grills, mice playground dog walk, showers, laundry, and cable TV in the clubhouse
Guide
Small campground between a city park and an expo center, is very nice. There are restrooms at the park which is a good walk to get to. The park also has foot bridge to downtown shopping and food.
GuideWe think we were the only people here last night. There were a couple other trailers, but no cars with them.
Our site was beautiful, right next to the river.
Bathrooms and showers were clean. Showers were hot and free.
The store was open and sold us beer.
Verizon coverage was good.
Traveler
Nice park on the river close to town. 16 side by side back ins all with 30/50A. First come, first serve. No reservations. Two other campers the night we were here. $25 drop box at west end. Showers bathrooms at the east end. Dump station and water at west end. Very clean and quiet.
ScoutThe campground is quiet and well maintained. It is newly reopened after being completely flooded in 2018. There is no longer a lake here.
It is difficult to find, and down several miles of well maintained dusty gravel roads. There isn't any signage (at least from the direction we came).
No electric, perfect for a getaway from it all.
TravelerOnce we arrived, we were very happy with our site. Getting there left a bit to be desired. The road to the park is gravel, and the signage doesn't exist!
LegendThis is one of my favorite campgrounds. I look forward going to. We always get a waterfront campground and since we camp during the week when school is still going there’s hardly anyone there and it is truly a very peaceful place. Love watching the bald eagles. There’s lots of trees and shade.
RangerEnjoyed my stay here. Site was close to water so pup could swim a few times during the day. Staff was very helpful. When I made reservation a couple of months ago, there were only a few sites to choose from. On arrival, campground was maybe 25% full. Free shower was a nice treat. All sites are electric.
ScoutClose to Tr 12. Small town of mobridge has groceries and gas
Guide
Great Electric RV sites right on the water.
Guide
Great sites with room to breathe. Beautiful treed area. Staff is awesome. Clean bathrooms.
LegendWe were traveling with a teardrop and just needed a place to drop for the night between point A and point B. Pierre (actually pronounced PIER) was a great spot with a great view and great prices!
We normally love primitive, but in the off season when it's a bit on the chilly side, we love an electric hookup for a bit of heat. This location was perfect! Not only was there only one other camper there in an RV, but it was along the river, had a very artsy fire pit and also had electric - for the grand cost of only $15!
There is a self pay station (so having cash is a grand plan). The spots aren't super private and don't have much space between them, but if you only need to sleep, it's ideal. And again, we were there in April, so with cooler weather, we almost had it to ourselves.
The highlight - a pack of coyotes where making their way through the cattails (right off the campsite) and sounded their cry.
ScoutWe stayed in mid-October 2021. The location is right on the River and convenient to town. We thought we might hear local town noise, but we didn’t. Campground is small and basic, but we’ve paid a lot more for a lot less. $15 for water, electric and dump station.
ScoutGreat for kids. Kayak rentals. Playground and beach area. Bike paths. Limited mature trees. Mostly smaller trees. State Park with entrance fee. Roomy sites with electric only. Dump station. Quite a few bugs here. A few cabins available.
