RangerThe park is right off the highway in a pretty desolate part of South Dakota. It was the end of the season, and so although I didn't expect a crowd, I also didn't expect to be the only person there at 1 pm.
Severe thunderstorms had followed me for the preceding three days, meaning that I was tired and ready to plug in, put on fuzzy socks, and read a good book, but when I pulled into this KOA, the office was dark, and there wasn't another soul in the campground. I pulled through anyway since I had already paid, only to find that most of the spaces were flooded. I have a 1-ton camper van with rear wheel drive and didn't want to get stuck, so I pulled back around to the front of the park. About 1/2 hour later, another camper couple showed up, and then a third. There was no answer to our phone calls to the owners, and since there wasn't another campground for 20 or so miles, we all decided just to stay put and hope the owners showed up. Finally, at 2 pm, they showed up and sorted everything out. Although they live on the property, they don't respond to calls until after 2 pm.
Evidently, the storms were a rarity and caught everyone off guard. It may well be that I would have had a better experience had the weather been better and/or during peak season. My only suggestion to the owners is to please return calls/answer the phone. Travellers are usually tired and unfamiliar with the areas, so a reassuring voice can be crucial.
They do have a store of sorts, but it's minimal. I'm not sure I would stay here again.
Guide16 sites for RV or travel trailers. 50,30 & 20 amp service. Potable water at dump station. Showers & flush toilets 1/2 block away. Sitting by the Missouri River.
TravelerNice mowed sites. Plenty of sites with a view above the river. Cannot access river from sites. At the SW end of the park there is a round turnout that you can drive down with high clearance or walk down to sit on the narrow beach or take a dip. There is a pit toilet and trash can. There is a small playground. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table.
TravelerThis is a small dam in a recreational area. It is quiet and has a clean pit toilet. No marked spots.
RangerThere are a lot of deer flies that when they bite they feel like mosquitoes and other than that the sites are a little bit awkward to get into but it's not unmanageable. I have a bus and I was able to park in one.
It has a dumpster and the lake provides water if you are able to filter it. I don't see a grey dump though.
RangerVery nice spot hook ups were great no problems simple overnight
ScoutSmooth dirt road in. the site is more level than many rv parks. Only one bar with Verizon. But starlink worked great.
TravelerAs a far as I know, the in is open, but the rv park is CLOSED ! Please call ahead to see if the RV park has opened back up
GuideThis is a wonderfully maintained city campground. This campground is on the Missouri River. The city of Fort Pierre has put a lot of money into its parks. Campgrounds are really clean and beautiful. The Griffin site has electric at the sites but not water, though there is potable water available. On the upside for Griffin, there is a wonderful tornado shelter/rec room/bathroom with showers. the showers are warm enougg. On the other side of the river, and also a Fort Pierre city park campground is Fisher‘s Lily Park campground. The sites at Fisher Lily Park Campground, are little larger, the view is a little nicer, and there’s water and electric at the sites. But the bathrooms are not as convenient and do not have showers. We stayed Fischer Lily Park campground, but went over to Griffin Park to shower. You really can’t go wrong with either campground. The Price during the season which starts 1 May is now $25. Sites are available first come first served. I added pictures of where the showers are (distal end of campground before the marina)
