Getting Outdoors
Camp in an RV near Fort Defiance State Park and bring along your horse for fantastic trail rides on the park's three equestrian trails. Visitors must bring their own horses for self-guided trail rides; the park doesn't offer horses for rent or trail guides. The park does require that any horses coming to the park from out of state have a current health certificate and a negative Coggins test.
Camping at Fort Defiance State Park
Fort Defiance State Park camping can be a bit primitive, even with your camper rental. However, the peacefulness of the park is worth sacrificing a few creature comforts. There are a few campsites with electrical hookups, and potable water is within walking distance. Pit toilets are located near the campgrounds, but there are no shower facilities. Reservations are encouraged during the busy season between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Exploring the Area
Leave extra time in your Fort Defiance State Park camping itinerary to visit Sioux City and the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. This 20,000-square-foot complex pays homage to the Corps of Discovery’s 1804 expedition into the area surrounding Sioux City. The interpretive center uses technology and interactive exhibits to draw visitors in and teach them about the expedition. A popular exhibit is the Traditional Native Games, where visitors can learn more about Native American games that portrayed the relationship between the buffalo and the Native Americans.
