The campground is no longer KOA (since summer 2017) but is now Good Sam. We got a very warm welcome by the owners here, and felt right at home. They got some goats (one called Sam, who thinks he's a dog and comes running when the owner whistles...

We chose the campground because Hitch-N-Post RV Park was full. They were very nice and pointed us to the other two campgrounds in town. The Crazy horse RV campark is well set up, nice shady sites, but has not been taken care of for a long while....

"You can only stay here when you visit for an event"

"No cell phone coverage "
We are not sure how the other reviewers got Verizon coverage, but there is none on this campground. We paid $8 because the water was shut off for the season. There was still water available in the bathrooms. The visitor center was also closed for...

The campground is old, and some of the sites are not very level. As it is the end of September, there are plenty of spaces to choose from, and we found one that is level enough. The 30 Amp electrical outlets are in the front of the spots. If you...
