This was probably the most beautiful place to camp watching the sunrise come up over the water. The hosts that I met were very nice and knowledgeable

Awesome campground. We enjoyed the spaciousness, beautiful setting, fellow campers and quiet. Only issue is we reserved our site through the recreation gov site but they had no record at camp ground. Very interesting reluctance on part of admissions person as we provided confirmation # and paid receipt. All worked out fine but a very confusing start to our otherwise wonderful experience. Heck, we even saw Sasquatch one evening. Thanks for a great 1.5 week stay.
Sincerely

Lovely quiet campground. Check-in was easy and staff were very helpful. The sites are clean and private. Excellent location, central for sightseeing to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave and other sights.

Great smallish campground with plenty of personal space on the site. My site was right on the lake and it would be a perfect spot to fish and just enjoy the lake.
