Was told upon arrival that campground was reservation only, even though there was a sign posted with "walk in" procedures. No signs, or info on web that indicated reservation only. Staff not very friendly, and less than helpful.

Worst campground ever! Dog crap all over our site. Huge potholes. Firepit full of cigarette butts. Several camp hosts and none asked us about our site. No wood available. Many miles away from any services and almost nothing beautiful to see. We are very experienced campers and will never return to North Dakota or this campground again.

Nice campground except for the amount of dogs and there barking. For awhile I thought I was
inside a kennel. I did not see one dog on a leash, and know-one was picking up dog feces. There
should be a extra charge for pets, at least 4 dollars per pet per day. Otherwise I would give it 5 Stars.

Too hard to reserve the campground when you're at the campground with a cell phone they should have gave me the telephone number to call direct after I did that 10 minutes and I had my reservation before that it was an hour working on the cell phone.

Everything is very neat and clean. The gate attendant is often seen driving around the campground to answer questions and just to check to see if everything is OK.
