Beautiful campground on the water. Friendly staff. Spotty cell reception. Be aware that any extra vehicles have an additional nightly rate of $5 and pets are $2/ night. This wasn't listed on the reservation.

Great spot, we will be back. Aside from no cell service (which is actually really nice to unplug from this thing) everything about this place is great.

This CG/lake is a favorite of ours since it's close to Rapid City and easy to get to. Very serene and peaceful - yet easy access to the Black Hills attractions. It offers a bit of everything - boating/fishing, off-roading, swimming, sight-seeing, etc.
