Camped in a parking lot

First problem we had was they messed up our reservations because their computer system and the website aren’t the same so they didn’t have our reserved site for us. They did give us a spot for free but it was very sketchy and my wife and daughters didn’t feel safe so while I was setting up camp she was finding another campground to go to the next night.

Great location for a campground.

The site we were in was far enough from the Highway that we couldn’t hear traffic and it’s right on the outskirts of Rapids City. It’s very close to Bear Country and The Reptile Gardens. We had our own parking spot and they would deliver firewood and quarters for laundry without a delivery fee.

Very friendly staff

The staff here was great from the check in desk to the escort who led us to our site. It was very tight with the trees but he helped us back in with zero issues and saved my marriage I’m sure.

Great experience on family vacation.

We had plans fall through a night before our reservations and they were able to put us in overflow and made sure our tanks had water. They also delivered firewood and quarters for laundry without any additional charge. We also had our own parking spot !

This is a peaceful park if you don’t mind 5am trains.

Lots of trees and access to the Mississippi River. Campsites are close is half the park and a little more distant in the other half.
