Perfect!

Nice little wooded spot to stay for one night on our way to glacier after seeing Mount Rushmore. We had a fire, they were having live music. The bathrooms and shower house were clean, didn’t use the laundry but it was there. We really enjoyed it!

Beautiful little camp ground!

Small campground nestled in the mountains. Exploring and hiking on public land behind the grounds, fun for rock hounds or just people who like sparkly things as the mountains are covered in Mica & quartz. Grounds keepers were super friendly, and bathroom & showers were nice & clean! Some really cool campsites if you ask for a more secluded one.

Great place

Very friendly helpful staff. Decent restrooms that were kept clean. Small playground area for the kids. We had a tent site on the end of a small rv loop just behind some cabins but it was perfect and convenient to the bath house. Some more remote sites for tents in the distance looked nice if you want to carry your gear in. Convenient to town and to Custer state park.
