We thoroughly enjoyed this small campground. It’s was well Kept and the host, Kim was very friendly. After staying here for several evenings and moving to another spot near Rushmore, we were certainly grateful for the quite of this place. No helicopters flying above all day or travelers road noise.

Although it’s right off of the 16, the vehicle noise is dampened by the forest enough to make it seem like white noise, particularly in sites further back in the campground (the group sites are closest up front).

The spaces are close to one another, but they were designed well enough to have the picnic table and fire rings spread apart enough to feel less cramped, which was nice. The sites along the outside of the loop back up to the meadow/trees, which added to a more private feel.

We very much enjoyed its location as it was close enough to town, Custer State Park (Sylvan Lake is only 25 minutes), Jewel Cave (less than 29 minutes), and all the rest within an hour to two hours reach.

Returning to the campground felt like home.
