We were kept from sleeping until nearly midnight on two nights of our four night stay because of the trailers and trucks revving engines late into the night. Apparently, using a monster truck to back an apartment complex into a lakeside campsite for 45 minutes at 10PM is totally normal and fine for other people. For us, and our young sleeping children, it was horrible.
The lake is beautiful, the fishing is good, and the weather was delightful. It was the people and their disrespect for others and their carelessness that were the problem. We traveled 7 hours to stay in the South Dakota wilderness. We had even toured the entire lake and campground area the previous year on a fishing trip, and it seemed so quiet and calm. That's why we chose it. But I guess daytime fishing from shore is the quiet anomaly; the overnight and morning experiences of other people's engines, motors, generators, loud city voices, and plastic trash absolutely ruined the experience for us.
