We enjoyed a thoroughly peaceful and relaxing stay. The campground's limited cell service (east river Verizon) made it an ideal setting for a digital detox. The trails were perfect for foraging and exploring the beauty of nature. I highly recommend the campground to those looking to reconnect with nature.

Really beautiful campground. Sites are spread apart enough as well. I went on the lake loop hike and it was amazing

It’s a beautiful location, the campsites are nice sized and just far enough apart. However; it would be nice to have an electrical hook-up or water hook-up.

I had an enjoyable time. It's situated far enough away very peaceful evenings and nights , but close enough to get to all the sites and activities in the Black Hills.

Great spot between both east and west entrance. Great mountain view and hosts! A little road and train noises. Would stay again if in the area.

Campground host was very friendly and helpful with information on reserving sites in the future. Was disapointed in not being able to catch very many trout in Deerfield reservoir this year as we have in the past. First year in several years of camping at Dutchman that it rained more than in past visits. Only downside was the overfilled trash container at our location lasting from the Sunday we checked in until the following Saturday when it was normally scheduled to be empted.

Good hiking, pretty spot. Would have given 5 stars but for the fact that there are not enough bathrooms for such a big place.

Love camping in the Black Hills. I usually split my time between hiking and fishing. The campsites at Dutchman are scenic and well kept. Always a much needed and relaxing time spent there.
