Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Very clean, well kept National Forest campground including bathrooms and fire pits. Site host Roger was very hospitable. Did I mention how stunning this place is? Nothing negative at all to report.

The directions that the rescue ration site give you were very unclear and our maps tried to take us to another campground. I am glad we stuck with finding this place though because it was worth it. Our site was the perfect spot that gave us tons of privacy even when the park was full. This does have one trailer campground and two other campgrounds for tent. Some are reservation only while others are non reservation. Few spots have cement pad, and all have fire ring and picnic table. No hookups. There is a bathroom with no showers and water. Campground is right alongside the lake with access to great hikes. Also very close to keystone and hill city.

We absolutely loved it here!! The site hostess, Gloria, was great and very helpful!! The views are great and so are the sites! Our site was right at the water and across from the bathroom and drinking water. The vault toilet was very clean and surprisingly didn’t stink at all!! They do a great job maintaining this campground and we were very happy. I wished we would have spent more time there but we’ll be back for sure.

We arrived late in the day yet were lucky enough to get one of the last remaining sites. The campground is the closest campground to Mt. Rushmore and has some sites right on a lake. Most of the campsites on the the lake are tent sites only. The campground was clean and well kept.
