Nice NPS campground. There are 17 sites, all free FCFS tent only sites. We thought we’d have a hard time finding a spot on a Friday night but it was less than half full the whole 4 nights we were there. Only one vault toilet was open. Sites are flat, large and spaced out. However the trees are very newly planted so they provide no shade or privacy. Quick access to 64 and Sandstone Visitor Center. The biggest con to this is the multi-track railroad right next to the campground. They go by pretty frequently at all hours of day and night and are so loud you can feel the vibrations. But otherwise was a good base camp for exploring New River Gorge.

We stayed in the smaller camping area B, which we enjoyed. Even on Labor Day weekend, it didn’t feel busy because of how few sites are in this section. Our site was level and sizable. The bathroom was clean and there was access to the very pleasant hiking trail going around the lake. We had no cell service with Cricket or Verizon.

Sites are level and pretty spacious, if not some a little tight together. My only complaint was that the restroom wasn’t marked on the map that I could see so I ended up being very far away from it. So more of an issue with recreation.gov than the campground itself. The restroom was nice and clean.

We had a great experience here. Our tent site was wooded and level, not too close to neighbors. Checkin was easy and staff was friendly. The bathhouse near us was large, modern, and extremely clean. Campground is close to Acadia and it was easy to head back for a nap when the park got too crazy busy.

I thought we’d gotten a water front site but unfortunately not. Only a few actually are. But our site was still nice and there was a little trail leading down to the water. Most sites looks pretty level with lots of room for a tent. Each site has one of those little outdoor fireplaces instead of a fire ring which was interesting. Very nice little loop trail around the lake. Friendly staff at checkin and quiet atmosphere. No cell service.

We lucked out and got one of the waterfront tent sites. The views are pretty! However, the quality of our site was a little lacking. Very un-level so no great place to put a tent and we also felt very squished together with our neighbors. It looked as we were driving through that many sites seemed that way but maybe not all. The bike path/path to the beach runs right behind these sites as well so there’s a constant stream of people going past you and kids zooming by on bikes. The lake was very clean. The camp store was great! They sell most things you’d need for camping, along with hard ice cream and some nice souvenirs. I think all in all, I would recommend, it just depends on the type of camping experience you prefer in regard to the traffic past our campsite.

There are a mix of platform and regular tent sites as well as some camper sites. We stayed on a platform site, which I questioned the structural integrity of after looking underneath lol… it held up though and there were also some new platforms which looked nice. Sites are a little close together for my liking. Luckily we checked out early before the weekend started so it was peaceful for us. The bathhouse was awesome! New building and it wasn’t a communal shower area with all the stalls in one room, there were all separate rooms each with their own bathroom and shower stall. Overall I would recommend if you’re not looking for too much peace and quiet.

We stayed in one of the walk-in campsites. Ours said that you could have a small camper van but there was barely any room to pull off and it wasn’t level. Luckily we only stayed for one night. Only 1 vault toilet for that whole loop. Each site has its own bear box. Our site had great views!

We only stayed here for one night but enjoyed it. We were in one of the rustic little cabins which consisted of a double bunk bed, table with 2 chairs, small garbage can, and lantern. All the sites were close together but if you’re in the Tetons, you probably won’t be spending much time just hanging out at camp. There is coin operated laundry, a beautiful lodge with a bistro and full restaurant, plus a little gas station/grocery. Would recommend if you’re not looking for peace and quiet!

This is a great base camp for exploring the park. With your reservation, you don’t need a timed entry ticket into the park or Bear Lake Road. It’s close to Bear Lake parking area which allowed us to beat the crowds (we did get to the trailhead by 5:30 still.) Sites are pretty spacious although there is next to no privacy from neighbors. Our site had some trees for shade/hammocks and a nice large tent pad. Bathrooms were clean with flush toilets, sinks, and outdoor sink but no showers. Our only small complaint was sharing Bear boxes between sites - I’m not sure how many are supposed to share but we had someone a few sites over come and stick something in the one basically in our site so we didn’t really have room. Oh well, there’s always the car.

We used this as a base camp for exploring the Black Hills. Our experience was mostly good. Our site was closer to our neighbor than we were expecting. The person next to us the first night had their dogs loose wandering and radio playing which was a little annoying. The picture also showed it being better views of the lake. But not a big deal because there were stairs down to the water (just had to make sure long pants for the poison ivy.) There was only a single toilet for our whole section, usually they have the mens and womens side. The hosts were also pretty unpleasant when we talked to them. We had an online reservation and came after 8 pm, which there was a sign that said if you come after 8 pm, just stop back and pay for your site in the morning. Well we had already paid so we were thinking that sign didn’t apply to us, plus we left to start exploring super early before they were open. We’ve stayed at countless FS campgrounds and not interacted with the hosts at all with no issue. We got there the 2nd night right at 8, so the little booth was closed. We slowed down a lot to make sure and then kept going and the guy walked up to us from the camper and acted like we were morons and said that we needed to fill out paperwork. My poor sweet husband was as nice as can be and the guy was still a jerk so that wasn’t a nice way to spend our last night there. Oh well. The campground itself is pretty, lots of shade and sites level & in good condition. I’d return, just to a different site.

We loved it here! Very quiet and lots of trees for shade. It looked like most of the sites were creek-front, ours was. We set up our hammocks and enjoyed the cool breeze and sound. Bathrooms were clean and had hand sanitizer and a trash can.

Nice sites with established tent pads. It was pretty empty on Sunday and Monday nights so it was nice and quiet. Pretty views of the reservoir. Not really any shade and according to the rules, you can’t hang hammocks or anything from the trees which was disappointing.

We stayed here Sunday - Wednesday and we really lucked out getting a spot, I think we got there right after the weekenders checked out. It was full the whole time after we got there. Such beautiful views of the mountain from our site and some others. 2 vault toilets that were clean and had hand sanitizer. The hosts were so nice, we enjoyed talking with them. No firewood for sale from the hosts. Easy access to a bunch of trails. The only complaints were TONS of stumps everywhere, the cut parts and the part still in the ground, swarms of mosquitoes, and as a previous review said — constant strong wind. But for $10, can’t be beat!

When I saw how many sites this campground had, I was expecting it to feel like chaotic zoo, but I was pleasantly surprised. It can be a little busy to get into, but the way it’s organized into so many loops, you just drive past them all to yours. Then once you get to your loop, you forget the others exist and it just feels like your small typical campground. It was not nearly as loud as I was expecting and with the trees, you can barely see your neighbors. The bathrooms were older but clean, no showers here but there are near the store. You can walk to the lake and the store has everything you might need. Close to lots of good stuff in the park! Highly recommend.

We stayed 2 nights here in site 4. There were only 3 other sites occupied our 1st night (Sunday night.) Our site didn’t have a great spot for a tent but luckily we sleep on a platform in our 4Runner. Our picnic table was in rough shape but the fire ring was good. Some sites are back/pull in and some are pull through which looked to be big enough for campers. Most sites are out in the open with no shade or privacy while the ones on the outer edge have some small trees - more for separation from neighbors than shade or hammocking (we were sad about that, we had brought our hammocks.) The 2 bathrooms looked to be recently constructed and were clean. There are nice views of the hills around and close to a lot of national forest trails. Overall I would recommend.

The sites were decent, our fire ring didn’t have any flat spots to put chairs around. The were lots of vault toilets bathrooms, they were a little smelly but not as bad as some. Most of the campground was empty on a May week night. We could hear the cars from the road. The camp host was a nice lady. Convenient to Mount Rushmore and Wind Cave National Park.

All the sites are attractive and spread out for the most part. It is more cramped near the beginning of the loop. Some sites are reservable and most are FCFS. There are a few vault toilets and no hookups. Some of the sites don’t look to be compatible with large campers. Very quiet and mostly empty in this 3rd week of May. Beware that the cost is actually $22/night, I looked at the forest service website and it said $14 so we only brought enough cash for 1 night it turned out.

This campground is way back a long road within the park so it feels very remote and peaceful. The sites are fairly private with trees in between and some walk to sites. Ours was large with steps up to it and fairly level. The bathroom had showers and was very clean.

This campground has a ton of sites and a lot of permanent camper trailers. The tent sites were open and close together so there wouldn't be much privacy during the busy season. We went in the beginning of May so luckily, we mostly had the vicinity to ourselves. There wasn't an established tent pad but it was pretty level. The bathroom was clean. You can get firewood delivered to your site which is nice. I wouldn't stay there during the summer but it was the only place we could find open with availability. It was also fairly expensive in my opinion but that could just be me. I think it would be nice for a family stay but not if you're looking for peace and quiet.
