Campground Information

Griffin Park Campground

Open year round and located on the southern edge of Griffin Park next to the scenic Missouri River, Griffin Park Campground features 16 parking spaces that can accommodate all sizes of camping vehicles. Renovated in 2004, each camping pad is built of asphalt chips, has electrical hookups, and is defined by the use of parking blocks. Picnic tables are nearby. Water is available at the camp sites. A camper dump station is also located at the site. And you'll also find showers, bathrooms, and storm shelter near the campground.

The city does not take reservations for the campground. It is on a first-come, first served basis. Campers are asked to fill out reservation cards and deposit them with the required fees in the lock box at the site. Parks staff visit the campground on a regular basis during the summer months.

Over 1,000 campers enjoy staying at this facility on a yearly basis as it permits them to be close to downtown Pierre, the state capitol, St. Mary’s Hospital, Down’s Marina, and the many attractions of Griffin Park.

Fees

• $25 per night during the months of May through October.
• $16 per night during the months of November through April, but bathroom facilities are not available as they are winterized during this time
