Camp host (Curtis) went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a good experience. After the initial recommendations for things to do in the area, he came up with more ideas and recommendations to help match what we were looking for as tent campers that were staying for 13 days (nearby showers and laundry). He came to our rescue a couple of times by giving the car battery a jump start.

Due to my preference for reserved status rather than the gamble of first come first serve, I had to reserve two sites to make my 13 day stay. We secured site 26 for 8 nights and 27 for 5 nights. Both are amazing sites, very spacious and have mostly level spots for a couple of tents. 26 has a better view of the lake, but 27 is more shaded and closer to the bathroom. Camp host Curtis went above and beyond to ensure I could charge my phone without draining my car battery dead, he was very helpful and thoughtful. He gave us many ideas of things to see and do, and though we mostly just went to the lake with our kayaks to explore and fish, his recommendation to use the laundry at Mountain Meadows was very helpful to us long- stay campers.

The only thing that I didn't like was the map has the bathrooms located in different locations than they actually are.

This campground was beautifully laid out, spacious sites with plenty of room between them. Only complaint was lack of a bathroom anywhere near the two sites we rented. We were at sites 11 & 13 and couldn’t have been farther from any of the three bathrooms. Unfortunately they don’t show where water and bathrooms are on the map so we had no idea being from CO. But we made due and enjoyed every minute at our campsite. We saw deer from our spots almost daily and could see the lake from the nearest water valve. Camp host was knowledgeable and kind and kept the bathroom we used clean and stocked. Other campers were quiet polite and friendly and we had no complaints. Would definitely recommend and would most definitely stay at this campground again if we decide to explore more of SD. The lake nearby was beautiful although we only got to explore it once as we had so much to do. Campground is located near many tourist features so we spent the 9 days seeing all we could. Truly pleased with our stay, thank you from CO!
