Clay County Park — Clay County

Clay County Park is located 4 miles outside of Vermillion South Dakota. It is secluded and peaceful. There were a few down falls.  A lot of the sites were taken by either people who lived there full time or people who leave their camper there for the whole summer.  Also the camp ground hosts weren’t friendly like all the other camp grounds we visit.   But it was peaceful and pretty.   The sites were very nice sized.  You didn’t feel like you were right on top of each other. They are Electric only and there is drinking water and sewage dump close by. There was 2  nice restrooms and 1 vaulted toilet.  There was a few trails, 1 leading to the Missouri River.   Down the road (not far) is a nice shelter next to the river and a boat ramp.


Secluded and peaceful

Clay County Park underwent some staffing and management changes at the beginning of last year. The whole area was thoroughly cleaned, trees trimmed, trails groomed, restrooms spiffed, etc.  Guest feedback on these changes was overwhelmingly positive and we expect further growth this season. 

We've begun working closely with SD Game, Fish and Parks and they are a great partner. This season, we will be adopting their reservation platform for guests to register. We expect to continue making incremental improvements and are looking forward to the 2023 camping season.

Park staff and volunteers did a great end of season cleanup and are now fine-tuning details for Summer 2023.

Same great park with some recent changes!

Was unsure because of a couple bad reviews. But the place was clean and peaceful, close to the beautiful Missouri River with opportunities for hiking and fishing.
The stuff was pretty unfriendly but we didn’t had to deal much with them.
