Pats Point Campground — Keyhole State Park

Do NOT stay here as a tent camper. We stayed in the Pat’s Point Campground section of this park. Tent pads and view are nice. Right on the water for fishing swimming and boating. The issue is this place was slammed full of people with no host or park enforcement of any rules. RVs had generators on hours past the cut off time/start of quiet hours. Large extremely loud groups at multiple sites. Nothing wrong with a party but this was loudness at all hours. Lanterns shining into our tent until midnight. Then we got a 5 AM wake up call of kids screaming and more early generator use. There were roaches of all things in the women’s bathroom but the men’s side was okay. Not sure why pit toilets need genders but they did here. This is a campground for parties and casual family camping. It comes with the typical rude behavior associated with those groups. If you’re a tent camper and you just need a place to stay for the night, you’re probably better off at an RV park than this place. It might even be cheaper given the demand pricing. We have camped coast to coast and we agreed this was in our top 5 worst.

We stayed here for 2 nights at Pat's Point, nicely located south of Devil's Tower.  We had a primitive site (no hook-ups, vault toilets).  Sites are fairly private and well spaced, and we had our own beach area.  Being on the water was great for kayaking etc.  There is a beach playground across the water at one of the other campgrounds which we didn't check out, but it sounded like the kids there were having fun.  Four stars because our site happened to be literally on a giant ant hill, and there were LOTs of other bugs of all kinds (flies, moths, spiders etc).  Of course when camping you expect bugs, but this was just more than usual.  It may have just been our site.
