Good central location

Wanted a central location to explore Deadwood and scout out a good boondocking site in the Black Hills National Forest. Used our Passport America membership for a couple nights and this Park suit our needs fine. Was busy pre-Labor Day weekend with lots of ATV’s, etc. around. But generally quiet.
