Overall Camper Rating:

Great stay people who work their were so helpful and friendly! Would recommend this campground! 7/13/2019

The staff was great, the campground is very clean, and located very close to Custer State Park. It would be great if we were just passing though or without kids but we stayed 6 nights and the kids didn't have much to do. 7/13/2019

It was a short overnight stay. The staff was very helpful kind and willing to do all they could to make my stay pleasant. 7/13/2019

Although it was colder than expected and rained all night, it was a fine overnight stay. Want to thank the clerk for the awesome dinner suggestion in town it was fabulous thanks 7/12/2019

Site was a very spacious pull through site but needed to be mowed, the water and electric needed to be closer to the sewage also the water was to close to the ground to attach anything more than a hose end 7/12/2019
