Are you planning to go camping at Bow Creek, Green Island, or Goat Island? This is a friendly reminder that all overnight campers on Missouri National Recreational River properties must obtain a free camping permit.
A permit must be filled out using the online form on our website or by visiting the park office located at 508 E 2nd St, Yankton, SD 57078. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8am-4:30pm.
Your permit will be approved once it is submitted. Your permit does not reserve a campsite. However, it provides us with important information like your itinerary, your contact information, and more. Filling out the form can take a few minutes and can make a huge difference in the event of an emergency when every second counts.
Find the camping permit form and more information about camping here: https://www.nps.gov/mnrr/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htm
Please call us at 605-665-0209 if you have any questions.
