Heib Memorial Park

6 ReviewsAdd Review

With access to a small pond and recreational facilities, Heib Memorial Park functions as a municipal campground in the heart of Marion's agricultural landscape. The park accommodates both RV and tent campers on large, level grass sites with electric and water hookups available. A dump station operates at the entrance for departing campers.

The campground sits within city limits, providing flushing toilets and running water in restroom facilities. A small pond features a cable bridge crossing, while additional park amenities include a ball field, playground, and covered pavilion with picnic tables. Train traffic runs through the surrounding corn country, though multiple campers note the trains don't disturb nighttime rest. Andy A. confirms there are "big grassy level sites" with full utilities.

Campers should note the presence of sprinkler systems in certain areas of the park - early morning tent breakdown may be necessary to avoid getting wet. The location provides convenient access to basic supplies, with a small shop and gas station within walking distance. Cell service appears reliable based on reviewer experiences.

At $15 per night, the campground serves travelers seeking an overnight stop with full hookups in south-central South Dakota. The municipal setting works well for RV travelers needing utilities and tent campers comfortable with an in-town location rather than wilderness camping.

Many campers appreciated the spacious, level sites with water and electric hookups. Guests commonly noted family amenities like playground and pond bridge. Some mentioned traffic noise but found it quiet and safe overall.

Good camp, but felt like a city park

We stayed one night on our way back home to CT after a trip out west. We weren't exactly sure where the free camping was at first, but eventually found a sign with a map. Bathrooms with flushing toilets were a welcome surprise. My 14 to dog and I slept in a tent while hubby and the other dog slept in the van. Had to hurry to take the tent down the next morning before they turned the sprinklers on.

Amazing city park

This is the second time staying in this little city park. Plenty of room for all size rigs along with tents. There is a ball field a playground a small pond with a cable bridge that goes across it. It's in the middle of corn country so there are trains but we do not hear them at night. Electric and water on site dump station when you depart at the entrance. Big grassy level sites.

Basic but enough

Nice enough for tent camping. There’s an area with sprinklers though, avoid that. It’s a nice, quiet, safe area, and there’s a pool nearby if you’re there around the time it’s open. There’s a bathroom and that was enough for us

I thought I grew up in a small town...

The town is so small, the gas pumps still remind me of a rotary phone. Not much to write home about for this one-nighter. (Notice there's no pics) Felt a bit awkward pitching a tent here, although there were others doing the same and even car camping, and there were signs allowing it. I wouldn't recommend settling in at this one, let alone starting a fire. It's nice, though. Access to a bathroom with running water was nice, but I wouldn't drink from the sink, and the door wouldn't latch. Theres a small rope bridge over a portion of pond, and a covered area with tables, although I assume the latter is more for large get-togethers. Theres a small shop down the road that opens at a decent time and has coffee, as well as the afore-mentioned gas station. (gas was about the only thing they sold) Not too far off the beaten path, and Sioux Falls is a very short jaunt down the road.
