Kabin was clean and conveniently located near office and bathroom. Front desk folks friendly and welcoming. Can't asked for anymore than that. 9/18/2019

Huge space with grass. Had a clear view to set up my Dish tv. Super close to Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, and Mt Rushmore. Loved my stay, 9/18/2019

We had a wonderful time. It was our first time camping with our puppy and the setting and dog park were great. We would definitely come back again. 9/18/2019

Great location, freindly staff and close to many attractions in the Black Hills. 9/17/2019

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean restrooms, and grounds. 9/16/2019

A beautiful site! We tend to travel in the early spring and later fall seasons and even this late in September the crew was upbeat, friendly, courteous and helpful. A wonderful time for us. 9/16/2019

Just need better WiFi Nice Managers & Workers-very nice shower room 9/16/2019

Stayed a few days in a camping cabin, spending quite a bit of time outside on the porch, where we enjoyed the privacy of fencing between some of the cabins. Appreciated that the very clean restrooms were close by and that the lights popped on automatically... 9/15/2019

Great place to camp! Keep up the great service Paul &Kathy 9/15/2019

We had a wonderful spot and nice neighbors. It was convenient to a lot of different places. It was staffed with a really friendly group of people. 9/15/2019

Very clean and neat facilities. Staff friendly. Only stayed 2 nights, but lucky we got 2 nights 9/15/2019

Facility was very clean and well run. My only issue is the price is too expensive when all the additional amenities are closed or no longer offered after Labor Day. I think the price should be reduced as you are providing less services. 9/15/2019

Perfect stay. Good laundry room. Fast wifi. Nice site. Friendly hosts. 9/15/2019

Very nice campground. A little. noisy with a small number of campers. Water in showers was tepid at best. Wifi terrible! 9/14/2019
