Wind Cave National Park

Simple and beautiful campground near the caves and not far from many other features of the Black Hills. Feels very secluded but not far from towns either.

Yay: Not as crowded even in summer (according to the hosts) and very quiet. Great ranger programs frequently in the summer. Lots of wildlife, including bison.

Nay: Some loops have very open sites but they are quite spread out. Some are not very level. No reservations, but apparently it rarely fills up.

Surprise: you might see a bison almost too-close when you get up in the morning but they are fenced off. We saw golden eagles!
