Close to national attractions. Clean and friendly. Shower slightly awkward to use. (Fold down seat in shower was clever but hard to get dressed standing in stall with wet floor.) All hookups worked well and were convenient. It was a little pricey ( but we did book short notice on a holiday weekend). Glad we found somewhere to camp at all.

We stayed one night in 25ft RV and had a great experience. The reservation system was easy to use, and the park itself is lovely with plenty of mature trees. The water pressure in the showers was amazing, and everything was clean and beautiful. The only drawback is that it’s a bit tight for larger campers, but definitely doable. Overall, a wonderful stay!

I am really happy with my 8 days trip to this location. This camp is well maintained and all the ammenties are open late or 24 hrs. The tent sites have room for your vehicle and a large tent which is rare amd they have large trees for shade at tent sites. The e washrooms are exceptionally clean so you won't be afraid to shower. The location is tucked away far enough off the highway to feel woodsy and quiet but the city centre is a short drive away. The staff are friendly and accommodating and I can't say enough good things about my stay here. Free coffee is a bonus!

Great accommodations! Very clean comfy and cosy! Well stocked dishes, towels. Bed was comfortable. On motorcycles so the paved road and parking spaces are great! Would definitely recommend this place!

Clean well appointed cabins. Motorcycle friendly. On site laundromat. Staff very helpful. Close to Sturgis and many scenic motorcycle rides like spearfish canyon, badlands, needles highway, to mention a few. Would definitely recommend.

This is my favorite place to stay to visit South Dakota so far. I have stayed with them 2 years in a row and have met great people staying onsite. The staff are pleasant and helpful. It’s location just on the west edge of Rapid City makes it so easy to access all of the area parks from the Badlands and west to Devil’s Tower. They have accommodation options and everything needed to cook and grill. They are within walking distance of a lake and walking paths. Pleasant, clean, quiet and I will be back! Don’t forget to say “Hi” to Scott!

We had a great stay at Lake Park Campground & Cottages! We would choose to stay here again. Impressively clean! We enjoyed daily coffee at the shaded picnic table and outdoor seating. The kids played in the shaded driveway and it was nice for our vehicle to have full shade in our own parking space too. We enjoyed walking to feed the ducks and paddle boat at Canyon Lake. It was an easy drive to many area attractions in and outside of Rapid City, especially Mount Rushmore, but other towns and landmarks as well.

My family just spent the last six days staying in the two-bedroom cabin at Lake Park Campground. It was perfect for our family of four. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen, fridge and stove allowed us to prepare meals (we didn't use the grill outside but would have if we weren't touring so much). We appreciated the TV with cable, the "living room area" and the covered porch area where my wife sat out and had her coffee each morning. This spot was perfect for day trips to Custer State Park, The Mammoth Site, Mount Rushmore, Deadwood and so many others. The only minor issue we experienced was that we came during an unprecedented heat wave, and there's one air conditioner for the whole unit. They do provide fans, but this meant we couldn't close doors at night without rooms getting warm. All pretty minor and not something that would matter during normal seasonal temps. We'd definitely recommend this place. It is very affordable and provides plenty of room for your family.
