We did not"

"Playground and a couple beaches around the area. A popular boating reservoir."
"Large open area next to the reservoir. Had some locals visit fishing and swimming during the day. Did not seem that used and need 4x4 for clearance."
GuideArrived around 2:00 pm on a Tuesday. There are 2 other campers here. One is a big rig and the other is a 5th wheel. I think they are hunters, not sure. It was over 6 miles down a dirt gravel road. The road was fairly nice. We have a great site for our 23ft trailer. This campground is so private and the sites are spaced far enough away you can’t see each other. We are only staying one night. I would definitely stay longer here if we weren’t in our way to Theodore Roosevelt NP.
ScoutThe site itself is pretty and it has hot showers. The major downside is that the mosquito problem is one of the worst I have ever seen. If you’re in an RV and plan to stay inside then no problem. It is a problem if you’re in a tent. Also, the board says you’re supposed to notify the host if staying. The host like to be hidden because I walked the grounds twice and could never find the host. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you can. Reservation and payment must be done online according to the board. ATT phone was good.
GuideFun spot overall, it’s free with a recommendation of $12 donation/day. 3 or 4 spots, not very crowded ever I imagine. Has a decent bathroom, a cute flowerbed, and several sheltered tables.
GuideLarge open area next to the reservoir. Had some locals visit fishing and swimming during the day. Did not seem that used and need 4x4 for clearance. Didn't have trouble driving even after a little rain. FS gravel roads were solid but narrow. Just a few miles south of Lemmon SD.
ScoutMy son and I were antelope hunting near here last September and found this campground. We were not able to stay because we had a dog that needed to stay in the camper which required full hookup. For that we went in to Buffalo South Dakota and stayed at the campground there. I knew I'd make it back someday and we were on our way home from the Black hills to Sidney Montana and I remembered this place as we were passing by. We came up here with high expectations and all of our expectations were Met. Quiet, beautiful sunset. Plenty of room firewood at every site. Good internet service phone service on Verizon and T-Mobile and AT&T. This place is a grand slam for anybody that wants a great place to stay for free. Thank you USDA for all the hard work.
RangerWell cared for campground, restrooms clean, easy access from the road. We stayed in an electric only loop and almost had it to ourselves. Nice town with a museum and Yesterday’s Farmers has old farm equipment on display.
GuideMemorial Day weekend and there is only one other camper. The campground is run by the South Dakota Fish and Game and the current rate is $16.91 per night with a 14 day max stay. Easy 4 mile drive of highway on well maintained dirt/gravel road.
LegendButte View Campground
Nicely spaced, clean and well maintained. If you don’t need hookups, then the Lions Club campground is a great ( cheaper @ $12) alternative - also a free site a few miles past Butte View is an option - on Gascoyne Lake, dry camping
We did not need FHU, so cannot comment on utilities. We had 50 amp and it was good. Found internal sites in loops a little weird ( in alignment), but we stayed on outer loop and had a bit more room.
Nice park, friendly host
Occasional train right next to site
RangerFree campground in SD, not WY. Most sites are well separated. Most have picnic tables. Came over 4th of July and there were only 5 other campers when I left. Several piles of wood available for firewood (resulted from clearing trees); you will need to split it, however. Sites has been mowed for fire mitigation which also resulted in nice "lawns". I stayed in 1st on the right. It was more exposed to wind and rain, but I preferred the layout. Other sites are more protected.
