ou get what you pay for We paid $33 a night I wasn't a happy camper here, we checked in July 3rd it was hot we had a long travel day and the power was not up to running my a/c's to which I was told to get by on 1 a/c because the park was full and there's only so much power to go around which explained why the guy next to us was running his generator. Fortunately after the 4th a lot of people left and there was no more power rationing. So I wouldn't recommend going there on a busy holiday weekend in the summer. We had a "Pull through site" but there's no way to pull through without scratching the bejesus out of your rig and even then I'm not sure there would've been room to make the turn, sure it's doable if you've got all day to austin powers your way out but who wants that? We were lucky the guy behind us was not there so we were able to back out of our site into his and make the turn out. Long story short if you're a big rig find another place there are plenty but if your cheap like me have more patience than me. It was cool being able to see the Crazy Horse Memorial from the campground. The front desk staff was friendly, the guy that popped out of back office not so much. There is so much to see and do there, Crazy hose Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Tatanka Story of Bison, just to name a few

Really cute campground with a view of Crazy Horse! The guys who work in the office are very nice, the bathrooms and laundry room are spacious and always clean. For full hookups, the price is very affordable. We will be back again!
