Rushmore? This does not look like a resort to me but the ladie that runs this place is very nice, and as for the rooms they are very quaint, charming, and unique. It is very peaceful and relaxing. I would come back if the prices were more reasonable.

It's location and the peace and quite, with the surrounding wild flowers and the wild life that just happens to pass by. The prices are cheaper than anywhere else in this economy. I love the nights when Ms. Penny has a large campfire under the star studded sky and everyone sits around and tell stories and just gets acquainted with each other. The cabins are very unique and charming, and very clean. Ms. Penny goes out of her way to make sure that everyone enjoys there stay. The resort is centrally located from anywhere that you might want to go. I have always enjoyed my stay here, that's why I'll come back every year. Karleen W. 5/2013

My family just spent the last six days staying in the two-bedroom cabin at Lake Park Campground. It…read morewas perfect for our family of four. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen, fridge and stove allowed us to prepare meals (we didn't use the grill outside but would have if we weren't touring so much). We appreciated the TV with cable, the "living room area" and the covered porch area where my wife sat out and had her coffee each morning. This spot was perfect for day trips to Custer State Park, The Mammoth Site, Mount Rushmore, Deadwood and so many others. The only minor issue we experienced was that we came during an unprecedented heat wave, and there's one air conditioner for the whole unit. They do provide fans, but this meant we couldn't close doors at night without rooms getting warm. All pretty minor and not something that would matter during normal seasonal temps. We'd definitely recommend this place. It is very affordable and provides plenty of room for your family.

Not sure if they're available for staying in? The sites are close together but well laid out, with good texture of rock for the base, and electrical and water hookups. You need to back in. There is a large grassy area with a few places to sit, including a picnic bench. The host, Rachel, was very friendly and super responsive to texts. Some pictures I saw showed a covered seating area, but that was off limits to guests. No dump station, but I believe Rachel mentioned someone who can come out and empty tanks at no cost. You'll want to confirm that. We took our RV to another place to empty it.

This campground was originally established to only be open during the Sturgis motorcycle rally. Now…read morewith a new owner, Terri is working to make it a full-time campground. I would expect this rating to improve as the improvements to the facility continue. We stayed for a week and would certainly come back if we find ourselves in the area. As it stands, here are some pros and cons: PROS- The location is beautiful and very peaceful with great night skies. It's out of town but not too far out to access stores and restaurants. There are quite a few full hook up sites, but for those who only get into an electric and water site, the shower houses are nice. We came late in the season so they needed a little cleaning and maintenance, but they have good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The laundry facilities are free. The machines are a little tired, but you can't beat free! Over the air TV reception is good. We got 15 to 20 channels including the four major networks. The owner, Terri, is very accommodating and wants to make this an inviting facility. CONS- The full hook up sites back up to a road. This was not a big deal for us and the road is not very busy, especially overnight. The water pressure is pretty low and variable. The sites are currently all grass and have no fire ring or picnic table. There is no Wi-Fi. (In our experience, even the places that advertise Wi-Fi still don't have it...). However, we have Verizon cell service and got four bars of signal.

I was initially a little skeptical when we pulled in because it's a pretty small campground and the…read moresites are close together (which I now realize is common around here). Needless to say this place won me over. Lisa and Harvey have done a phenomenal job with this campground and are fantastic hosts. The General Store has most everything you need in case you forget some essential camping needs. All the sites are on nice, flat ground though there isn't much shade. Our site was next to porta potties (plus) and we also had a shelter over our picnic table (plus). We didn't look inside the cabins but they look cozy and have a porch swing out front. The swimming pool is small but really nice and is naturally chlorinated due to the 750 lbs of salt that's been added. Good for the skin :) It can be cool at night here so bring warm clothes. We arrived in July and on the way through the hills we saw snow on the ground!! It's quiet, relaxing and really beautiful here.
