This campground is so new that it is still a work in progress. Wide and deep sites. Owner was very nice and helpful. My son and husband liked the basketball court. There were three dog parks at the campground, all with grass, two of them were fenced. I wish there had been grass at the sites but the trees will be nice as they grow. While the campground is close to the interstate, it was far enough away that road noise wasn't an issue.

I called several days in advance and made a reservation for a week. Owner called less than an hour before check in time to inform us that he did not have a spot for us. A long term renter had decided to extend his stay. Owner did not seem to understand why I was upset about the situation. "What am I supposed to do? Kick him out?" Yes. If you have rented that site, you tell him you do not have a site for him.

Most sites are close together. Would not pay extra for lakeside view unless you have a rear living room.
Most of the campground is gravel and asphalt roads that are in need of repair. They have attempted to landscape between some of the sites but made some poor choices. There are rosebushes and their thorns and a bush that has sharp edges that make it difficult to get to your hookups. Some bushes at the end of rows block your view of oncoming vehicles and kids on bikes.
While we were there, a storm took out the power for about 28 hours. There was no attempt made by the campground to keep campers informed of the status of repairs.
They claim to have a heated pool but the conversation among the swimmers was about how cold the water was to be a heated pool.
The ladies bath house was kept clean and stocked.
The laundry was kept clean but there was no change machine and the office went at least two days with no quarters for the machines.
There is a fenced in dog park in the back section of the campground but there are no doggy bags and no trash can so most people don't pick up after their dogs.
No train, plane, or road noise. Campers were usually quiet as well.

We ended up staying here after another campground in the area cancelled our reservation 45 minutes before we arrived because one of their long term rentals decided to stay longer. We chose a pull through site because it was away for the service station and car wash that other reviews had mentioned. Glad we did, I never heard the car wash unless I was outside. Some road noise. Largest site we have had in a long time. Super friendly camp host. Clean and cheap laundry area (only one washer/dryer). Bathroom was clean. Grassy area for the dog. Did not use campground internet but we had no problems with our internet or cell service (AT&T).

We picked an electric site so we wouldn't have to run a generator all day while my husband works. I liked the hedge/small trees surrounding us on three sides for the privacy but there is no lake view from the electric sites.

The electric sites are large. We didn't have problems getting level but some of them are more unlevel than others. I didn't use the pit toilets but I would suggest a sniff test of the air before picking your site. Several of them smelled so bad, you could smell them as you were walking around the campground.

Our site was on the main road to the boat launch so we had some road noise but nothing too loud and none during the night.

I liked the life jacket loan box for kids. It is located near the boat dock.

We planned to stay a week to visit relatives in the area and between a torn awning and COVID 19, we left 2 and 1/2 months later. Showerhouses were clean and private. Sites were wide, level, and well spaced. Laundry on site was reasonably priced. They were building a fenced dog park when we were leaving. Fishing ponds. Pleasant campground owner. Nightly rate reflects a combination of weekly rates and then a switch to monthly rates.

Level campsite with some shade. FHU. Laundry room and pool area were clean. Playground looked well maintained. Bathhouses were not available for use. Two fenced areas for dogs based on size. There was an occasional train, interstate noise, and a racetrack very close. The racetrack actually was not as loud as I expected and it was only one night. The young lady in the office was very friendly (Amanda I think was her name). I don't have a problem with a campground having rules but maybe towing a camper's truck for not taping the vehicle tag to the windshield is a bit extreme. The campground speed limit is 5 mph which my husband was doing and one of the female employees on a ATV started waving her arms at him to slow down like she thought he was going 20 and this was on the driveway leaving the campground not near the sites or the playground. No problems with AT&T.

Our site was 607 which is "on top of the hill." The good thing was that we had a lot of space because it was a double site. Our 5th wheel was in site 407 and our truck was in site 408. Some of the sites down the hill are very close together. The bad thing was because we "on top of the hill" we were next to the road with alot of road noise during the day (none during the night).

The staff and owners were very nice and helpful. The pool was nice but small. There was no fenced dog area but there is a fenced dog park in Custer.

I didn't use the restrooms or the laundry room but they looked clean. I tried to use the laundry room but it was full so I went to the Lost Sock in Custer.

The camp store seemed to be well stocked and I enjoyed the book swap found in the laundry room.

We enjoyed the area so we extended our stay another week.

I highly recommend the Black Hills Bun and Burger restaurant and Pizza Works.

Level campsite with full hook-ups. Most sites were in the shade. No laundry room or bathhouses available for use. There was a grassy area for your pets (no fence) but the pet policy was 14 sentences long. My favorite statement was "Please keep your pets moving until you reach the pet area, this may avoid accidents along the way." So make sure you move Fido right along. Some road noise but I would think that those sites in the trees would have less. Had AT&T service with no problems but I don't remember how many bars (probably 4).
