Nice staff and hosts. Park was clean and mowed. Facilities worked fine. RV hookups worked fine. I just couldn't shake the uneasy feeling of strange (non-camper) vehicles constantly driving around all night long into the early morning. Sometimes you just don't feel comfortable at a place. For me, this is that place. Don't go to Ft. Thompson.

Love camping at left trailrace campground. Nice quite campground, 4 wheelers or golf carts racing around or causing potential safety concerns for kids riding bikes, etc. The campground hosts have been around for years. Very friendly, always greeting you with a smile.

The gate attendant was friendly and helpful. The site was long with enough parking. We had a site near a water spigot but not all sites have water close. To enter the park road we had to go farther and turn around since the road had too sharp a turn. The dump station is not convenient.

A peaceful spot to just relax and enjoy the view, ride a bike, or take a walk.

My first time staying in any federal park, I was traveling west to rushmore and was looking for a spot break for the night. My coworker informed me about this campground and he was right on. Staff was friendly and helpful, even though i pulled in kinda late there was someone waiting to greet us. I was pulling a 35ft trailer and the drive through parking was unbelievably nice. The site said electrical only, but there was a hydrant so close a 10ft hose filled put some water in my tank easy please. In the morning it was a beautiful view and plenty of places for the kids to go play. I recommend not driving through Chamberlain to get there unless you dont mind steep hills and rough roads, the view on that route was amazing though. If I travel out west again I will make sure to book a spot and make time to stay a couple days and go fishing. The dump site is easy to use. Other sites a bit closer to Chamberlain were going for double to triple the amount. For the price savings and view it is worth going off the interstate. Great job
