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.

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.
