We stayed at site #8. The location of the campsite was one of the best things about the campground, close to Mount Rushmore and not too far from the Crazy Horse Monument. The campgrounds are very busy but still beautiful. My favorite thing about the campgrounds was the trail around the lake. There are spots to fish or to just sit and enjoy nature. The tent pad was perfect for our 10' X 11' tent, perfectly flat and easy to set up. Site #8 is very close to the restroom, which is great for accessibility, but we could smell the restroom. I hope to come back in a few years and would love to stay in sites #23 - 28, which are further back near the lake. Even the walk-in sites on that side of the lake look very inviting as they overlook the lake too.

I won't be back! I have never been to a State or National Park where the camp host is a grumpy old man that hates his job. The bathrooms were discussing so discussing by 9am you can't even walk past them without getting sick. Then on top of it the bathroom lights don't work. When I asked the woman camp host about the bathroom lights she just shrugged her shoulders and said the lights and fan have never worked. It's to bad since the campground is near Mount Rushmore but the camp host just doesn't care if you have a good time or not at their campground!
