"A tent-only area, which I appreciate- those tend to be quieter than the RV spots, and the tent area was close to the reservoir. Standard campsite amenities- tables, fire pits, bathrooms."

"Close to Mount Rushmore and crazy horse! Pirates cove mini golf is a short drive away! Great facility with standard KOA amenities."
GuideA little crowded by the amount of RV’s BUT… such a great campground. Super organized , well kept and the beautiful creek runs along the camp. It was nice going to sleep and waking up with the sound of the water. Across the street is a fish pond hatchery (and aquarium like) and a big fun playground.
Lots of bike/ walking paths that go into the cute town
So beautiful here and fair prices on off season.
GuideI couldn’t get to the actual spot because the fence was closed but stopped right before the fence. There was one other camper at a spot a little further down. Quiet, fluctuating service between SOS and one bar. About 2 miles from the wind cave entrance. Maybe no biting bugs as other reviews have stated but about a billion conifer seed bugs. Keep your windows rolled up! Plenty of sun and shade for your preferences.
RangerOur spot had a great view, plenty of spots to pick from, it was super quiet this time of year, weather was perfect. Easy drive in on the road for the van and most spots were relatively flat.
TravelerThe lady charged $25 for 30 gallons of water. Ridiculous.
GuideSuch a beautiful campground on one of the most scenic routes … The colors of fall , the mountains and the little creek were perfect.
It is close to the road but it’s pretty quiet not many cars pass.
$15.00 to camp - only 5 sites and a tent area There is a mile hike up the mountain too
GuideLots of hiking, biking, picnicking area. Near Alkali Horse campgrounds. The price used to be $6.00 during the open season and free after October 1st. BLM just raised the price to $24, per day all year around and $30 per day at the Alkali Horse camp. The site dies not have a camp host all year around. There are picnic tables, 5 sites for RVs, fire rings, 12 tent camping sites. Some of the tent sites require a short hike. Pit toilet, bike rake station and a water fountain. Recommend using a water bandit with hose if filling up large containers. Just a few minutes outside Sturgis
GuideIt use to be free camping after October. They have raised the price to $30 a day, per site
TravelerThis place has everything, gas station, golf course, roaming security, paved roads, concrete pads, pet and non pet areas, 10mins to town if you need to, and more. Their rules say $50 fine for speeding which is ok cause there is alot of people walking. Met a nice couple who stays there often, if it was closer to home for me I would too. I should give it 5 stars but I grade tuff.
GuideThis is my second time here in the same spot. The bathrooms are clean and staff is friendly. The crowd is quiet and respectful. There is laundry on site, firewood for sale, and I believe they sell propane. The wildlife is everywhere. I have had deer, turkey, and rabbit within 50 feet. Awesome place!
