Toadstool campground was a nice find. There's nothing fancy about this basic but well maintained park in what felt like the middle of nowhere. Access involved driving 10-20 miles of maintained gravel roads. The sites are spacious and well spread out. There are no hook-ups and no water on-site. The parking pads are small and mostly level. Each site has a covered picnic table and fire ring. There is well manicured grass throughout the interior of the park, and longer "wild" grass beyond the campground perimeter (the campground is indeed within Oglala National Grassland). We arrived at around 6 pm on a Thursday night. The campground was about 80% filled with tent campers. It looked like they were all within a group of scientists.

There's an active train line within a mile of the campground. We heard the faint sound of trains and whistles all day and night but it was not loud enough to be a problem. There are enough sites close together that neighbors 'could' be noisy, but ours were not. Other than that, the only thing else to hear are the wild birds.

It's worth taking some time to go hiking in the Toadstool geologic area. There are several trails available, thew shortest being a 1 mile loop from the campground. We look forward to staying here again next time we're in the area.
