Very remote and peaceful even on a national holiday and only a few miles from Rushmore, keystone, and Custer.

We stayed in a tent by the lake for 4 nights I could not have had a better experience! Credit goes to the camp host who was a wonderful camp host!! Unfortunately I don't recall her name but she was fantastic working with everybody and was very much on top of everything and made sure things worked well. We watched eagles, listened to fish jump from our tent, and had a great stay! Site 27 for tent campers is the BEST! 25 is next best. You're welcome!!

Picture perfect camping! The lake with osprey flying overhead, the pine trees giving shade. Lovely. Only 6 min from Mount Rushmore monument too. We saw the evening light-up and movie. Dogs allowed only up to the flag area. But you can hear everything from there and see the carving light up too

Can't stress enough how beautiful the lake was. Friendly helpful staff. First come first serve campsites. Lake is stocked with trout. If you have a trailer make certain you pull into the camping side of the lake. The other side doesn't have a turn around spot for trailers. The signage telling you it's a dead-end that's narrow without any room for trailers isn't visible until a half block down the roadway and behind bushes! Forcing trailers to reverse onto a highway with a blind turn!!! Stay safe

Really liked this campground. Quiet, yet located very close to Mt. Rushmore. Tent sites were adequately spaced, and it appeared that they had recently been redone. Nice hiking trail around the lake.

Nice stop. Pretty basic no electricity nor water hookups, vaulted toilet. Safe for the night.

Stopped by on our way to Needles Highway and it was well worth the while. Seemed to be a great swimming and fishing area and was also a pretty cool walking trail. Many were catching good sized trout and such. Even if it’s just a stop on your way through, definitely recommend.

Clean refreshing water. Sandy/pebbled entrance into lake. This is manmade and parking isn’t an issue. Definitely worth a stop to fish or swim. Very convenient to Mt Rushmore.
