Quiet location just minutes from Hot Springs and Wind Cave National Park. Sites are spacious and pit toilets are clean.

We enjoyed our brief stay at Cold Brook. There was a high wind advisory causing some concern, but the topography seemed to shelter us. The next days travel was VERY interesting, though.

The young man that checked us in was a perfect gentleman with professional courtesy Thank You The old vault on the hill north side of lake needs attention. While in my boat fishing, numerous people stopped to use. The look of discussed has evident. Sad

We had a lovely time camping here over Labor Day weekend. The main sites lack significant shade, but we didn't really notice. My only complaint was the campground host harassing my elderly uncle when he stopped momentarily at the intersection to see where we were meeting for a picnic. She had no patience to hear why he was stopped. Other interactions with her also proved to be challenging, she seems a little abrasive in general. This had no bearing on the campground itself, obviously. Overall it was a delightful weekend.

The area was very clean and inviting. We had a beautiful site. The area was beautiful and the host was very nice.

@BellaPE184621A · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #4

We loved everything about this beautiful campground! Local to town, spaced out sites, a nature trail just behind the campground. The host was attentive and pit toilets were clean. Lake was beautiful and we will definitely be back!

Maybe there should be a notice of that you need to dump in the village along with the directions. Other than that its a nice quiet place.

@Friederik4843A · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #3

Good and cheap place to stay

@RobertR8191303 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #13

Always enjoy camping at Cold Brook. Usually a quiet peaceful experience.

@tommyf5926099 · Camped on Jun 15, 2024 at Campsite #6

Great little campground, clean and well maintained. Park Ranger very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay again ! Highly recommend!

@DaleW6067273 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #11

Nice, quiet campground north of Cold Brook Lake. Picnic tables and fire rings for each site. Vault toilets were clean. There is central water to fill your water cans. Easy access to Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park. Cell service was fair to poor (Verizon)

@BeverlyE52A1CD · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #7

Sweet little campground. Quiet and very peaceful. Nice walking

@PaulaAnn862172 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #13

The place was filled with goose poop and there was no grass in the area. Which becomes muddy when it rained. The experience was not at all enjoyable so we left after setting everything up because the goose poop started smelling. This area didnt seem to be kept up as well as the other locations. We truly had a very miserable experience and will not be coming back here.

@JamesD3491200 · Camped on Sep 11, 2023 at Campsite #6

hard to get a spot here. This is my favorite park in the area. great walking areas in the hills and the north area.

@ThadK0B901F37E · Camped on Aug 21, 2023 at Campsite #8

What a nice grassy area with the surrounding cliffs and quiet valley. We have stayed here a couple of times now and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere with the lake and the hills. We visited a few nearby places and loved our time in HotSprings.

@TracyC81317392 · Camped on Aug 7, 2023 at Campsite #12

What an amazing place this is. So clean a beautiful!!!

@TracyC81317392 · Camped on Aug 7, 2023 at Campsite #13

We have been camping here for the last 4 years and have never been disappointed!! This place is absolutely amazing!! Quite, clean, peaceful, and beautiful!!! The camp ground host is so helpful and friendly and so is the ranger. Can't wait until next year!!!

@TracyC81317392 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #7

I love this place

@Christine96615 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #6

Enjoyed the area. Camp site 6 worked great for our tent. Shade available. Linda, the campground host, was very helpful , friendly, and kind.

@AnnH4487288 · Camped on Jul 25, 2023 at Campsite #5

Beautiful, quiet, primitive camping. No RV hook-ups, but public restroom and potable water are available. Camp host named Linda was extremely friendly and helpful.

@MichelleG91209 · Camped on Jul 18, 2023 at Campsite #1

Great campgrounds! No showers, but the bathrooms were clean. There were A LOT of flies - so bug spray and candles are a must. Lake is beautiful, we saw a few turtles. Water is clear. Quiet at night, all around great experience

@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #12

Beautiful site!! 😍 Lots of nature happening all around you with a lake backdrop! Only problem is they make you back into the site making your entrance door on the opposite side and the fire pit too close to your camper or vehicle. Still, highly reccomend the location (if you can find it lol)!

@WilliamS791593 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #8

Very beautiful area. We stayed at site 8, which is nicely tucked in the back corner, but provides a large space and area to feel well away from other campers at the site, with a beautiful backdrop of red cliffs and green foliage.

@hannahs3959546 · Camped on Jun 23, 2023 at Campsite #7

Clean, beautiful! Loved it!!!

@ElyGFFFF7DDE34 · Camped on Jun 18, 2023 at Campsite #6

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
