The Campground is open from April 1st through October 31st (weather permitting).  

 Update:  Our amazing volunteer campground host, Dave, is returning for another year, and he has graciously agreed to take reservations prior to the   start of the camping season.  If you're looking to make reservations for the 2023 season, please follow the instructions below.  Note that there are no   refunds and no date transfers.  Payment must be received to confirm your reservation.  You must talk with Dave prior to making a payment.

 To reserve camp sites through our campground host: 
 1.  Call Campground Host Dave at   605-480-1999 
 2.  Once the campsite is reserved, prepayment of $25 per night must be made within 2 days either via the Online Payments* page on the city website,        or by dropping payment in the drop box at the City Office (not at the campground). 
    
         * One (1) night -   $25

 3. If you are having issues paying online, be sure to click the box under the convenience fee to accept it and put any number in the confirmation                number field.  If you are still having issues see the Online Payments page for additional info and the Municipay support phone number to call                  (1- 877-590-5097).
 4.  FOR CAMPGROUND RESERVATIONS:  MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CALLED AND MADE A RESERVATION WITH DAVE PRIOR TO PAYING ONLINE. You must        reserve through Dave, as the PAYMENT SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THE RESERVATION SYSTEM.
 5.  Prepayment is required to hold the reservation.  No refunds and No Transfers to different dates.  
 6.  If payment is not received within 2 days of placing the reservation, the reservation will be cancelled.

 To camp without a reservation:
 It is rare that all spots will be full, so if you have not made a reservation in advance, give Dave a call at 605-480-1999 to check availability.

 If you camp without a prepaid reservation, please fill out a receipt and pay at the campground where there is a drop box on the east side of the bath   house. Place your receipt and payment in an envelope and put in the drop box. Place the smaller portion of the receipt on the post at your campsite.   Rates are $25 per night.

 If you have any questions, call Campground Host.  

 Pioneer Campground offers pull through sites with electrical and water hook-ups. There is also a bath house with handicap accessibility. A dump station   is available on the north side of the bath house. There is a walking path that circles the pool area and follows along the Vermillion River. The newest   addition will also take you to the softball park area.

 There are 40 sites:  Five pull-through.  The remaining are back-in.  Some sites are 30 amp, others are 50 amp.
