Terri Pruner
We were so very impressed with River View RV park. The owners have thought of everything that makes the park comfortable and homey as well as equipped with family friendly touches. Pierre is a wonderful community to visit. I highly recommend it to anyone going through for one night or a week!
James Girard
Well maintained, fast wifi, gracious hosts, level sites and full hookups. Who could ask for anything more? Oh and the views of the Capitol, the Oahe Dam, the bridges and the Missouri River are all amazing.

All pull thru gravel sites with compressed dirt roads. Full hook ups. Owners are great, friendly with lots of information about the area. Be prepared for wind as the sites are on a bluff.

This campground is on a high ridge with great views over the river. The campsites are level with gravel. The sunrise was red due to the smoke from the Canada fires
Kathleen Bates
This RV park has a great view of Pierre, the state capitol building, and the Missouri River. Site was level and hookups were good. It was beautiful at night, too. Owner is onsite and provides great customer service. We stopped for one night. She took the time to ask where we were headed and brought maps and brochures that were very helpful. She takes pride in the park and it shows.
