Great little city campground/park on the Missouri River, the same river explorers Lewis and Clark ventured up some years ago.
The 12 spot campground offers water and electric, with a dump station at the entrance to use when leaving or before you start to camp.. There is no charge so if just passing through you can dump which we have seen several RV do..
The sites are gravel, long, wide and mostly level.. The water is good pressure and on the harder side, 267 TDS and 7 gains on hardness.. (below 125 TDS and 3 grains is considered soft water).. there are nice fire rings and picnic tables..
The elec outlets consist of 50, 30, 20 with good power at 121 volts AC
Site #1, 2, 3 so offer some shade especially in the afternoon on in summer.. think the places is closed in winter for the most part with water being turned off.
The view is nice you see the river and bridge that cross from the Fort Pierre to Pierre side and to Central time zone.. :)
The town does a great job of keeping the grass cut with crews out when we arrived on monday ..
THere is a nice park with places for kid to play and a bike path from the area into town and around.
Current rate is $15 per night which is Elec and Water with dump site.....

I would recommend both the park and the campground though this is a little way off the main roads. We were traveling West on I-90, looking for a place for the night, drove here, then went on to Wall (Wall Drug) on US-14 so it wasn't that much out of the way and made a rather pleasant drive along US-14 through...
