Fischers Lilly Park

15mi from Cow Creek Campground · 1 site · Fort Pierre, SD

Fischers Lilly Park is a unique campground steeped in history, marking the site of the significant encounter between Lewis and Clark’s Corp of Discovery and the Teton Lakota nation. This pivotal moment in the Lewis and Clark Expedition was characterized by differing trade goals and a lack of communication, leading to an armed confrontation that nearly ended their journey. Located at the mouth of the Bad River, this historic site was officially designated as part of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail by the National Park Service in June 2004. The park features 12 RV pads equipped with electrical outlets, available on a first-come, first-served basis, along with a convenient dump station. Each pad offers water and electricity for a fee of $22 per night. Families can enjoy the playground equipment and a picnic shelter, which includes electrical outlets and restrooms. For outdoor enthusiasts, a boat ramp is accessible from the park along the Bad River, with an additional ramp off Deadwood Street connected by a newly constructed walking bridge. Fischers Lilly Park is not only a place to camp but also a gateway to explore the rich history and natural beauty of the surrounding area.

South Whitlock Resort

33mi from Cow Creek Campground · 23 sites · Gettysburg, SD

Nestled in a picturesque landscape, South Whitlock Resort stands out as a unique family-owned campground with a rich heritage that spans five generations. Originally a family ranch, this beautiful resort has transformed over the years while maintaining its deep-rooted connection to the land. Although the original ranch buildings have been replaced, the campground is adorned with rows of trees, lovingly planted and nurtured by Pat's parents, which serve as a stunning natural backdrop. In 1982, Pat and Randy Harer took a bold step by purchasing the land from her family, embarking on an exciting journey to develop the resort. Their initial efforts included constructing a convenience store and collaborating with skilled contractors to establish essential sewer, water, and electrical infrastructure. This groundwork allowed for the placement of mobile homes in the heart of a scenic pasture, creating a vibrant summer community for guests. The resort's offerings expanded further with the relocation of a motel unit to the site, enhancing the accommodations available to visitors. The following year, they acquired a supper club from Grenville, SD, which was carefully moved to its current location, providing an additional dining option for guests. Over the years, South Whitlock Resort has continued to evolve, with ongoing improvements to the land and facilities, welcoming new generations of families and guests to create

There's no campground per se here, just a prairie for as far as you can see. We set up our tent near Four Coyotes Dam -- you'll definitely need to download a road map for inside the grasslands, 'cuz there's no informational kiosk.
