Something not right?

Description

Family owned, tent only, campsite. Along the main road. Can make reservation or just drive in, which is what I did. Sites all have picnic tables and fire pit. There are bbqs for use in the “day use” area. A couple bathrooms and there is a small hike from the campsite. The couple sells wood. There are water pumps as well. Right on a side road near Mt Rushmore, so can be loud during the day with RVs abs such driving by, but quiet at night. Dog friendly. 20$ plus 2$ for the dog, but your pass also is used as the day parking pass for many of the hiking trails in the area, so you save on that. I tend to use this site to find more off the beaten path places, but sometimes after a few days of that it’s nice to just set up camp early and be done for the day to relax and enjoy camping.

Great quiet place apparently off the beaten path because Sturgis is going on but there are several available sites. $24 unless you have the America the Beautiful pass then it’s $12. Host says the most action I’ll see is a few deer that pass through at night. No bears (or bulls). I’m in #16 fairly close to the pit bathroom and it also has water. I believe there are two unisex pit toilets. Host is friendly and helpful.

Quiet, secluded, very friendly, helpful staff. Nice place to stay on our way to Mt Rushmore. Water available but lots of chlorine.
