It's a huge campground with over 300 campsites. Has campsites for most any camping needs. With the exception of hike in or boat in campsites. Located in Hill City along Palmer Creek. They have a fishing pond I wasn't able to list with it's amenities. Would have given them 5 stars if they hadn't changed my reserved site from a pull thru site to a back in site. That change forced me to be farther away from their general store, restaurant and main office as well as many other amenities. I must change the number of campsites they have available to in excess of 600 campsites. As well as the amenities they have available I missed checking the boxes. Including pickle ball, movies, jumping pillow, sand volleyball, and several others. It has too many amenities to list. Or that I'm taking the time to list anyway. Lol sorry just being as honest as possible.
