Beautiful sites. Sites are very close to one another.

We had a reservation and when we arrived were told by the host our 32’ Motorhome would not fit in site 17. False information. We fit fine.

We LOVED this campsite. Our site was 017, LKSD. Our campsite had a path down to the lake where we sat and stargazed for hours. This site is at the end of the campground so there was not a lot of disruption. Vault toilet, no sink, no running water.

The campsite was spectacularly perfection.

Of all the campgrounds I have ever used, of which there are many, the bathroom was the single most disgusting thing I have ever experienced.

I used it once and vowed never, ever, to step foot in it again.

I understand port a potties are not 'perfect' but this was horrific.

It is a shame since we loved our site so much.

Beautiful lake, but does border the highway to Mt Rushmore monument so you do see and hear some traffic.
Hosts are wonderful, friendly and helpful.
The most interesting thing is that at 9 AM the first of the daily helicopters starting flying overhead, we presume for tours over the monument. This is uncalled for in a place of Nature, and can ruin the peace and quiet of such a beautiful lake.
One night, well into about 1 AM, there was a boisterous group of people on the highway side of the lake creating a huge disturbance. SD police may want to cruise that area in the future, as it disrupted the sleep of many neighboring campers that night!

Good campsite though no designated tent pad in most sites. Has a small “beach” front to the lake for swimming, fishing, and other activities. No flush toilets. Water spigots and trash designated areas weren’t far from any of the sites. Ice was a bit overpriced.
