Watch out if your campsite is under trees! We were invaded by conifer seed bugs. We are 5 days and 7 states away and they are still popping out!

The bathroom was clean and smelled good! The hostess was so helpful getting our reservation! Love the area.

This is a nice quiet campsite with clean bathrooms. A bit of a long walk to the caves and visitor center (2 or 3 miles) but doable. Dinging one star because, no cellular connectivity whatsoever and weak wifi only near the entrance board, and secondly the biting flies in early November were horrendous in the evening. I had to dance around to avoid the flies for an hour grilling dinner outside and even then I got over a dozen bites. Surprisingly no biting flies the next day so could be weather or temperature related.

Nice Campground. Didn't know what to expect. Camped there twice. First night didn't have a reservation but very nice camphost helped us. There is no internet at the checkin kiosk(there's supposed to be) but it's available at the host campsite. Flush toilets available thru most of the campground. We camped in Site B29 the first night and B27 the second two. We have a pop-up tent trailer. Most of the sites are along the road but we had plenty of room. The second 2 nights were part of Labor Day weekend. The Campground was completely booked even though the description says it rarely fills. Good campfire talks. No internet service in Campground except at host site. No hookups. Nice quiet campground with buffalo near by.

The proximity to the Wind Cave National Park Visitor Center makes this campsite a great place to stop. The campsite was exactly as described on the website. The area is beautiful and we had a very nice evening campfire.

The Rangers talks were really interesting. We had three events with different subjects.

Quiet little campground, and had a good time here. No electric or water hookups, but it was a wonderful time without.

Very clean and with a lot of space around. I would like to camp there again, possibly for multiple days. It's close to Wind Cave visitor center and wildlife loop. Site 27 is just beautiful and close to the restrooms.

I love this campground! It is quiet, and I woke to beautiful bird song each morning.

The sites need to be widened to accomodate rigs with slideouts. Just move the concrete bumpers over would do it,
