We stayed here for a week a couple times this summer. Ann was very nice. You must call though. Quite, chill and pleasant. About 5 miles off the freeway which we liked. Nice field to walk and run our dog. Sites are 70 foot long pull throughs. They are close together but there were so few people that we were fine with it. Laundry is good 1.50 wash 1.50 dry. Super large machines but only 1 of each. Bathrooms and showers were clean and in good working condition. We'll stay again when we pass through on our next trip.

Owners are great people. Not too many sites so not overcrowded. They do not raise rates for Sturgis Ralley. Best rates around. Clean showers and laundry room. Love the farm atmosphere. Peace and quiet...

Came to visit family again and stayed here. It was during a very rainy week and the camp ground owners were taxed with a bit of a challenge to keep the restrooms clean and the mud at bay. It is in South Dakota and it had rained more than 5 inches in 2 days and at least this campground did not have flooding water like the one a couple miles down the road did. This campground still has grass and hasn't covered everything up with asphalt and pavement. Ill take the mud over the flooding and power outage due to 'electrical issues' at the other place. Great family run campground. Great prices, honest hard working people. As for the review for the trucks loads of gravel, the other person left. The gravel was there in piles, but when the owner came around to ask if we wanted him to spread it out or wait for the rain to stop, we opted to wait (as the tractor would ultimately cause ruts for his field as well, and forecast was for 2 days of heavy rain and then clear skies). It was a win win, and then he spread the 45 tons of gravel for us, and it packed nicely. GREAT place.

Came up planning on staying here for a month, but just driving down the road to the RV area was treacherous! It was so soft and muddy that my husband lost traction a few times. Once we made it into the camping area, there were plenty of open spaces, but they were all very muddy. The vehicles and campers that were there, were covered in mud, and deep ruts where they had gotten into the spaces. $750 per month for camping in a giant mud pit? No thanks! Owners might want to seriously consider several truck loads of gravel.
