Friendly staff. The grounds are well kept. The bathrooms are clean and stocked with everything. They also have showers. The pool is also very nice. We had a great time camping.

We have been staying here in our RV while we hunt for our new home here in the black hills. The owners and employees are very friendly and accommodating. The property is well maintained and the location is very convenient. It is also far enough from the highway so it is peaceful and quiet and has lots of friendly wildlife to see.

Great rustic Resort. We stopped in on our way to Oregon. We were exhausted and needed sleep. The management waved us down and got us into a cabin. Great place to go and nice people. Very family friendly! Thanks for getting us in for the night!

This place is not a bad place to stay. We stayed 10 days in our 36ft 5th wheel. It has beautiful views but not worth the price. $200 for 3 nights. Plus if more than 2 people they charge extra. The weekly rate of $300 was good though. When we got here they had just finished with a blue grass festival. Every garbage was overflowing including the dumpster that was close to us so the flys were horrible. They didn't pick it up for like 3 days. Your phone service is very limited here no matter the carrier. They offer wifi but it constantly goes out. So if you have your own satellite or starlink you will be fine. We have an internet box through our phone company it didn't work. The pool is open to the public so there are a lot of children in it and as much as I like relaxing in the pool (one of the reasons I chose this place) I did not get to use it. Tried to go in the evening but it was FULl of bugs and no skimmer so I could clean in. The laundry room is $3 to wash (small loads only) and $1.25 to dry. 4 of the 6 dryers did not work or were broken inside and would tear your clothes so I would be careful which ones you use. The bathrooms are like any other really 3 showers in the womens never had problems. If they were full there a few unisex ones but were always locked.

We had our family reunion there. The view is beautiful and had a playground for kids. But for the money we thought the table and chairs could have been set up and not an extra charge(if they set up). Could use a few up grades. No one check on us to see how things were going or needed anything.
