Best time to visit Union Grove State Park

Late May through September is the most comfortable window for RV travel, with warm days, leafed-out hardwoods along the trails, and full campground services. June and early September offer a good balance of pleasant weather and lighter crowds compared to the July peak. Fall brings vivid color in the wooded ravines and cooler nights ideal for camping. Winters are cold and snowy with limited services, so most RVers plan visits between spring and fall.

How to get to Union Grove State Park

The park sits a short drive west of Interstate 29 in Union County, roughly 35 to 40 miles south of Sioux Falls and about 25 miles north of Sioux City, Iowa. From I-29, RV drivers exit near Beresford and follow paved county roads west to the park entrance, with no major mountain passes, tunnels, or steep grades to worry about. The closest fly-and-rent option is Sioux Falls Regional Airport (FSD), about an hour to the north, while Sioux Gateway Airport (SUX) in Sioux City offers another nearby option. Watch for tight turns and gravel sections on the final park access roads when driving a longer rig.
