Beautiful campground by the water. Well kept spots in a gorgeous location. Be careful coming in. Check the address and know where you are going, we lost cell service and ended up in the Group Sites.

this year was esceptionally wonderful, great weather helped and the pesky bugs were no where to be found. restroom was very well kept up and cleaned daily. camp sites were spaced far enogh apart nieghbors we not a problem, even 3 sites next to us with the boy scouts camping. Great place to fish as trout were plentiful and blue gills were great over the camp fire. watchout for the northern pike as we lost some tackle from time to time. even shore fishing was great. looking forward to next years visit.

Beautiful campground and location! We stayed there for a week while exploring the Black Hills. We were very impressed with the quality of camping. Our favorite part was being in the woods and the beach. We enjoyed clean bathrooms and everything was well kept. Very friendly people there to check us in. We will absolutely be staying there again.
