This is very nice privately owned campground. The staff was simply incredible! We were originally setting up on the sunny side of the creek in our tent. When they saw that we were going through great lengths to maximize our shade, they offered to switch our site to the shady side, and even helped us move. Note: The creek sites closest to the road get the afternoon shade. The campsites have have adequate space but are not particularly private. The campground is situated in an open, grassy field with a creek running through it. The only shade and trees are directly on the creek. Looking across the creek from my tent up front in the photo provides a good idea of creek-side campsite spacing. There is a shower house (Although very clean, 3 out of 5 for overall feel--I've seen better and I've seen worse). There is a small pool, playground, store, diner, and a dishwashing sink. There is laundry in both the men's and women's restrooms.

The campground is directly on the Iron Mountain Road and finding the time to drive through the tunnels and pig-tails is a must, but leave any trailers at the campground first. Driving the pigtail section of 16A toward the campground is recommended for that amazing view of a tunnel framing Mt. Rushmore. Nearby there is a treasure trove of outdoor activities including: Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Jewel Cave National Monument, Wind Cave National Park, and Custer State Park. Privately owned parks boast daring alpine slides, and zip lines (so much fun). Wind Cave National Park boasts a thriving buffalo population--expect a buffalo jam if you drive that way (which is not required to access Keystone or Rushmore, etc.)
