The campsites were exactly like the pictures. Facility was extremely clean, and the hosts were the nicest people ever!There are bathrooms, and drinking water.No RV dump though.Only 2 miles from Mt Rushmore

Nice campground just 4 miles from Mt Rushmore Monument. Also very close to Needles Highway/Custer Park. Definitely worth grabbing a site if you can when in the area.

Perfect location to see everything in the Black Hills. Campground was very pretty, bathrooms were clean and the camp host was very nice and helpful. All sites have cement pad which was wonderful and helped keep the camper clean. A bonus was being able to take the dog to the lake for some exercise.

Easy access to the lake and surrounding activities, especially the climbing areas. Cell service is non-existent here though. Clean bathrooms and well maintained sites. The sites are pretty close to one another though.

Beautiful location. Helpful camp hosts.

Perfect location, great sites. You can’t fill your water there. You have to go to the nearby KOA. The water is free but there’s a $10 fee to enter. So RVers arrive with water. There is a water pump for basic use but not for your tank.

What a great campground with easy access to the lake and 5 minutes from Mt. Rushmore. The camp hosts, Helen & Leland, were amazing and assisted me with a major medical event requiring ambulances and hospital nights. They took care of our rig and dogs while finding us a couple of extra nights while we navigated the medical event. Our appreciation goes beyond words and we've made friends for life. Park is in impeccable condition, quiet and very family friendly.

We parked our camper here so we could sleep and explore during the day. It served its purpose well.

Campground was clean and camp host was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. This is the second time I've stayed here and will stay again. Great base camp for the black hills!

Great hiking, fishing, camping spot.

The campground was beautiful. We stayed in #7 and the pad was paved and level; close walk to the lake, but no view of the lake. The sites are nicely separated and wooded for shade. This is a great location for exploring the area; Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, and Custer are very close. We had an excellent experience.
