A lovely campground! Great hosts. The weekend got noisy but they settled down at quiet time! A good spot for peace & quiet. We made it our headquarters while we saw lots of SD sites!

The camp host is super friendly, and it's beautiful country, but it's a primitive campsite.

The point is that it's a primitive campsite. Generators shouldn't be allowed. They're noisy running all day long and ruin the serenity of the place. Seriously, if you need electricity, get an electric site.

Host was excellent. Cleanest nicest pit toilet ever! Campground is almost like dispersed camping with lots of distance between sites. Definitely worth it.

My wife asked me to book a secluded & beautiful campsite & this place more than delivered. The Black Hills in this area looked so picturesque. They looked like Teletubby land with hills in the background. Just AMAZING. :) Also, I was able to switch my site to get a view of the lake in this campsite. The hosts were also incredibly helpful. I can't wait to go back to this campsite.
