Always a great time here, fishing was great in my usual spot, the only issue this visit was there were sites that had way more people and vehicles than allowed causing issues, sites 6 and 7 had so many cars and oversized units in them causing access issues, site 6 had a way too big camper in it with the slide literally into the roadway.

Great campsite, awesome lake, very quiet, campsites are not on top of each other. Host and hostess were awesome .But people drive thru to fast ! They need to put speed signs back up .

We love this campground and really enjoyed our stay. The camp hosts were very good and kept the facilities very clean. My only complaint is there are no recycling receptacles.

Great campground on a quiet non-motor lake. Bring your paddle board!

Beautiful campground. Nice lake stocked with trout. Sites were spread out . Some of the best tent sites I have seen. Well placed around large rocks. Some highway noise. Needs an RV dump station. Closest one is in Custer State park 10 miles away. I stayed in a 26ft. travel trailer.

We absolutely loved our camp host, she was very helpful with information about the different park passes we would need.

The location was just so beautiful and each campsite feels private but the bathrooms are not too far away :-)

Bismarck Lake campground was beautiful. We were right next to the lake and as we unzipped the tent in the morning we could sit and watch the sunrise in the still water. The grounds and the facilities are clean and site is quiet and friendly. We will definitely bring our paddle boards next time to enjoy the lake more. Bring bug spray! :)
