Fischers Lilly Park hosts 12 RV pads with electrical outlets, available on a first-come, first-serve basis.   There is also a dump station. The fee is currently $15/night.  Water and electric is available at each pad.  The park also has playground equipment and a picnic shelter with electrical outlets and bathrooms. A boat ramp can also be found on the park side of the Bad River and the boat ramp off Deadwood St. is accessible to the park by a newly built walking bridge over the Bad River.

Fischers Lilly Park

The full name of this place is Fischers Lilly Park, operated by the city of Fort Pierre. To correct the previous review, these sites are water/electric (20/30/50A) only, although there is a free dump station on site. These sites are right on the river, and contrary to the previous reviewer we found some of them near the entrance to be exceedingly spacious, including ours #12. There are 12 sites total, and ours was immaculate. Cell signal on Verizon was a solid 3 bars.

The location right on the banks of the Missouri River can't be beat, and it's the perfect location for exploring all that the Pierre area has to offer: the state capitol complex, the museums, even walleye fishing in the river or nearby Lake Oahe. We spent Memorial Day weekend here and loved it -- my wife was wishing that we could stay longer. Even on the holiday weekend the campground was wonderfully quiet and serene.

Many thanks to the City of Fort Pierre for making this location available.

Five stars and dirt cheap

At the meeting of the Missouri River and the Bad River a small campground is found. Sites are close together and in the sun but there are full hookups. A spacious park is next door. The bike path leads into historic Fort Pierre and beyond. Museums await you as you explore Lewis and Clark’s stopover. This is an ok place to camp but being near town and the beautiful river and bike path make this a nice possibility.

Riverside camping near town

We 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.
