Best bathrooms/showers

Not a lot of privacy between sites, but plenty of room. Full hookups with convenience store adjacent. Bathrooms and showers were cleanest and roomiest we experienced in 2.5 month travels. Staff was friendly. Concrete pads adjacent to gravel drive through, and fire rings adjacent to site. Picnic tables and garbage cans at each site. Pretty close to road, but traffic was light and almost not noticeable. A few flies, but generally not buggy. Higher elevation above Deadwood, so a bit cooler.nice wooded view on one side. Generally a smaller, quiet camp. A hidden gem.

Great place

The day we was to arrive, we was delayed and didn’t get to camp site in the daylight. Gary happened to be near the office when we pulled in. He greeted and showed me my spot. The gentleman then helped me back into our spot in the dark. The campsite is great, staff is very friendly and the fishing pond is real neat. Perfect for beginners and young fisherman. We will come back.
