Lion's Campground

What sets Lion’s Campground in Vermillion apart is its seamless blend of accessibility and family-friendly amenities right within the city limits, making it a versatile choice for both short stopovers and relaxed weekend trips. This modest campground features five first-come, first-serve sites equipped with electric hookups, water, fire rings, and grills, complemented by clean restrooms and hot showers. With a playground, picnic shelters, and sports facilities—including lighted softball fields and a volleyball court—there’s ample opportunity for recreation beyond the campsite.

Situated just south of Vermillion’s Cherry Street, Lion’s Campground offers a convenient urban escape while remaining close to the charm of downtown Vermillion. It’s an excellent base for exploring the Missouri River and other nearby attractions within a 30-minute drive.
