Wide, deep sites. Grounds are well kept. Flush toilets and an outside water spigot. Campground is high above the springs. Personable camp host and rangers.

This was a great little campground. Only had about 20 sites so it was nice and quiet. Had some trees for some shade in some sites. The restrooms were in pretty good shape and had running water. We slept in a tent but it looks like all sites had plenty of room for campers or RVs. This was about 20 minutes from Wind Cave a National Park and about 1 hour away from both Mount Rushmore and Jewel Cave N... This was a great little campground.

Great location. fantastic sites, lots of really big(deep) sites suitable for long rigs, well maintain, flushable toilets & sinks (1 pit toilet too), kids playground, just above the Lake. Camp host is unobtrusive, but the park ranger is really annoying doing rounds after dark between 9 & 10 pm. Drives around with headlights on stopping to mess with reservation signs while his headlight are pointed...

Camp host is unobtrusive, but the park ranger is really annoying doing rounds after dark between 9 & 10 pm. Drives around with headlights on stopping to mess with reservation signs while his headlight are pointed directly into camps blinding everyone and he takes multiple minutes at each stop. Really shouldn't be making those rounds at that time or at least have the courtesy to not use headlights the entire time Overall a really great campground!!

Nice small campground, we were on site 18. Had a beautiful view. Only issue is you had to go into Hot Springs to dump.
