When we were camped there during the big fire about 3 years ago we had just paid $24 for more nights camping and then were told we had to leave. We were told we would be reimbursed...but after several tries I gave up on that. Very nice "we will look into it for you". But nothing. We believe the forest service up at the Loman Ranger District just stole our money and had a few drinks on us.

Someone took out reserved spot. And there isn't anyone around of authority to help resolve the issue. Ruined the weekend that you plan weeks in advance, get there and someone is already in the spot. Unfortunately probably won't go back to Deadwood again. Really bums me out as I spent many summers there as a child and love the place.
