Very quiet property, beautiful views. Clean and all amenities were easily accessible. There is a small gazebo behind the RV spot and the guests there were quiet and respectful.
Kurt gave clear instructions on how to set up at the RV site, was always quick to answer our questions and checked in on us after our first night even though he was out on his own trip.
Things I liked the most was how close to Custer it was and you don’t have a bunch of neighbors. You have a nice open view over the field.

This is a top notch hip camp! The owners property is just stunning and it's so convenient to all the local tourist spots. It's also priced great for full hook ups which was a nice change from so many hip camps that want $70/night for nothing. About 15-30 min to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Jewel Cave and Wind Cave. It snowed the few days we were there which was just beautiful and so peaceful. You're also about 5 min from Custer where you have plenty of shopping and restaurants. Really just a perfect location, they also have a little cabin so if you had a group with an rv and without this spot can accommodate either. Highly recommend and if we're ever back in the area will definitely stay here again!

We stayed at the property for 4 nights in our Motor Home and it was a perfect location to use as home base for all the things in the area to do. We saw Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Jewel Cave, Wind Cave and even made the 2 hour drive to Badlands. Other than Badlands, everything else was about 15-30 min away. Little town of Custer provided some places to eat and shopping.
The property is in the most beautiful and secluded location. It snowed when we were there which just added to the beauty. And lots of deer all the time. We were the only ones staying there so it was really quiet, even Kurt was out of town. They have a little cabin adjacent to the rv parking spot but no one there while we were staying. Would have been cool to have other family in the cabin and sharing the fire pit area. The rv space was pretty level, full power, water and sewer hook ups which are awesome to have. Price was very reasonable for that as well. Would definitely recommend Kurt's place! Beautiful spot!

We reached out to the camp host to see if they’d let us check in earlier and so thankful that they did.

We also got to see a famous roadside attraction Wall Drugs.

Kurt is an amazing host in more ways than one. After I texted him saying we were set to arrive in our RV in the middle of the night, he gave detailed instructions on where to park. Not only that, but he congratulated us via text after he awoke on the good job of parking in the dark, since we had already left for the Buffalo Round up in our car. We reserved the site for two weeks but our son was with us and he was anxious to get home after being away for months hiking the Continental Divide Trail. We left after only five days and Kurt graciously agreed to refund us. He was so understanding and even spoke to my husband in person.
The site is amazing because it is in the middle of the countryside with no other RVs. Accommodations were excellent...great wifi. We highly recommend this host/site and hope to return in the future.

We tent camped here for one night passing through the area. There is a number of reservable sites and ones that are first come first serve. It is a beautiful little campground a short distance from Keystone. We loved this campground! HOWEVER, it is right on a windy scenic route that attracts a lot of motorcycle traffic. It is very close to Mt Rushmore which is a positive if you plan on visiting the monument (although there are many beautiful sights from the road). Being close to the monument, the helicopter traffic was nonstop during the day from what I assume were aerial tours. SO, if you intend on hanging out at the campsite all day, do not expect peace and quiet. The noise does die down early evening. Good basecamp for day trips!

Great location and right around the corner from Mt. Rushmore! I enjoyed the tents only aspect of the area, it made it seem the sites where secluded. We reserved two nights at #17 and then we reserved a walk-in site #20 for the next two. The bathrooms were kept clean (vault) and the hosts were very nice and answered any questions we had about the area. There is a creek and some trails that were right off the campground. Try to stay in #19, seems to be the most secluded. My only negative was from the 2 families staying three sites down, they let their kids run around camp unattended until about 10:30pm and bright and early the next morning. They also trashed the bathroom unfortunately. I wish everyone had/was taught some camping etiquette.

A great little campground set against a steep mountain in a small valley deep in the Black Hills. Heading here in early August, I was worried the site would be full like many others in the area due to the Sturgis annual motorcycle rally. This campground being about 4 miles down a gravel road may have deterred the crowd - only three other sites were occupied. A heavy rain fell so I wasn't able to fully explore, definitely check your maps and sources - there was confusion even among locals as to how to get here!

This is a beautiful area and well maintained by the camp host. It's also the best campground for quick access to the rock climbing in Spearfish Canyon, and the super convenient general store in Cheyenne Crossing, in case you need to refill ice in your cooler or just want a delicious meal while you hide from rain.

Expansive campground with multiple sections and large campsites. Plenty of shade amongst the tall, dense pine trees. Number of sites have beautiful views of Sheridan Lake. Jump on the Centennial Trail or hike the Flume trail and check out two train tunnels from the gold mining days.

We showed up on a Thursday night, it was rainy and during a storm so the whole campsite was empty! It was beautiful and near a creek. Great bathrooms, and a super friendly host that had tons of wood.
