Clean small park near Black Hills

Camp hosts were wonderful. No shade, Rocky level sites, looks like newish landscaping with small grass areas and short trees. Picnic table on site. Very clean laundry area, host can change bills if needed. Propane on site…really convenient to refill. Dollar General has decent selection of groceries with exception of produce. 30 minutes from Mt Rushmore, 50 from Crazy Horse. About 1.5 from Badlands National Park, but well work the drive.

Nice smaller park in Hermosa

Needed to ditch our “premo” boondocking site in the Black Hills N.F. with an early (Labor Day) winter storm approaching. Used our Passport America membership to this park East of the Black Hills. Very well maintained and managed.
