The amphitheater's shows are amazing, & neighboring campers are always nice/helpful. The location is quite beautiful & tucked away from noise. I have just one complaint that was costly- the daddy long legs. Usually i love these spiders(inside), but outside, & completely out of control, is very different. I know Wind Cave well, & they won't do anything about this(& no, I'm not suggesting poison or anything stupid.. although @ the time of the bites I had, I wouldn't have minded).

We had a space right by the bathrooms and the amphitheater (C39) and it was wonderful. It was at the end of the campground so not too many cars making it down near us. Picnic table and fire pit, many pondi pines, but the ground wasn't quite flat, but that's ok--we're camping. Woke up in the morning to a herd of deer grazing in our site and the nearby trees. The hosts were super kind and helpful, too.
