Best Glamping near Pierre, SD

Had a peaceful and relaxing time staying at Little Bend RV park. The views of the Missouri River are absolutely stunning. You can also access the river via a 10 minute drive down to the docks and there is a restaurant very close by.

We stayed for a 3 days and would recommend for anyone looking to get away for a few days, weekend or longer.

Management is very friendly!

Great sites with room to breathe. Beautiful treed area. Staff is awesome. Clean bathrooms.

Stayed here one night on the way to My Rushmore. Checkin super easy and she made a great dinner recommendation for the best burger in Custer. Campground was peaceful, set in the trees, and we saw hot air balloons over head in the morning with some friendly wild turkeys walking through. Overall, awesome with clean bathroom shower. Will stay again for sure.

Nice place with very friendly and helpful staff. The camp was very full when we were there but oddly very quiet. The breeze blowing through the pine trees was very peaceful and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice campground in Murdo, SD. The directions take you the wrong way, it is actually located at 303 E 5th St. They have laundry and showers. The office opens at 4 pm but if you get there earlier the owner will check you in if you call to let him know your there, very nice people. We enjoyed our visit and would stay there again.

Great spot for an over night or extended stay. Close to the highway, there’s restaurants and gas stations within walking distance. Perfect for what we needed, a quick, friendly stop. Cheaper than most too!

We stayed one night and the staff was of great assistance with our reservation and suggestions on places to eat. Very nice place and great people

Just a simple campground with full hookups, both 30 and 50 amp. Most sites have some trees. We didn't use the showers or bathrooms. No play equipment if you have children. Very reasonable at $28 on a Friday night. Would stay here again.

This campground is great for an overnight stay.  There was machinery and farm equipment in some of the RV sites.  The property has not been mowed in some time.  It is W/E only with a dump station for the majority of the sites.  There is not a host on site and no one from the hotel that owns the campground came by.  There is a bathhouse with showers (dirty) and flush toilets  and sinks.  The RV site we had was level gravel.  This property is next to an interstate so beware of the noise.

Stopped for one night on way to Mt Rushmore. Convenient and cheap. Close to interstate. No wifi.

If you’re looking for a place to quickly crash for the night I’d recommend this. It was $30 and close to the highway. Plus only had 3 other campers. Not very level on any of the sites.

Camping, pull through, picnic tables, fire pits at each site. Sites are very spacious. The Campgrounds also offer fishing, fish cleaning station, boat ramp, biking, frisbee golf, a playground, horseshoes and bean bag toss. Something for everyone. Bathroom are very nice and clean. Showers are also very clean.

It was a clean campground with shaded tables and pull through spots. Some spots are split in half so you’re right next to neighbors. Boat launch is right next to the campground. Showers and flushing toilets were clean and free.

30 minutes off 90 along the Missouri river. Situated on a tiny peninsula is the campsite. We opted to camp in an electric site with our tent to be closer to the water since we were in for just one night. With double sites it's pretty tight, however everyone was super quiet while there and we were lucky to have another tent on our double pad. At check-in we were given hand sanitizers, which was nice. Bathrooms were centrally located in the campsite. Tent sites were past the park and playground, did not see where bathrooms were on that end. Definitely would camp here again.

We had a wonderful experience! Sites were spacious, tables had shade. Bathhouse was spotless and showers were wonderful with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The camp host was welcoming, friendly and helpful!

We are heading west and chose this campground for a one night stop. It's about 20 minutes off of I90. Good thing we were following GPS because there was not a single sign for a campground on SR47. They are not big on signs in the park either as once you pull in there is no signage pointing to campground entrance, boat ramp or day use areas so of course we ended up having to turn our 26' trailer around at the boat ramp.

check in lady at gate very nice but told us wrong direction to pull through our site. We got it figured out though. Our site, as most, had electric with picnic table, wind block screen and fire pit. Most sites were pull through which is quite convenient for us trailer people. Lots of space at each site, but not much shade. It was beautiful spring weather for us and no wind, ideal conditions.

Bath house was immaculate and had plenty of stalls and showers in ladies room. Water spigots were available and interesting to operate. The hubby had to ask someone how to turn on.

Most sites have water view and our site 12 had unobstructed view. Shoreline is steep with rock rip rap to climb down to water. There was nice playground area for kids and a 9-hole disc golf course.

Lake Sharpe was formed by the building of the Oahe Dam and runs 80 miles south of Big Bend Dam at Fort Thompson. The lake encompasses 56,000 acres and offers 200 miles of beautiful shoreline. The Brule Indian Reservation western shore is along Lake Sharpe and the Crow Creek Indian Reservation is along the eastern shore. Hunting fishing and boating of all types provides an abundance of outdoor activities If you want to check out the beauty of this area outside the lake area a beautiful drive is the Native American Scenic Byway. It is 101 miles that will take you to the edge of the bluffs to the river bottom. Watch out for a treasured view of a tribal buffalo herd.

We camped here one night on our way to Kimball SD . It was very secluded and had a great view of the water . The bathrooms were very clean. There was a siren that kept going off near the dam. But it didn’t bother us
