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.

There are two pit toilets (enclosed restroom with actual toilet seat) and places for trash/recycling right by it. Some of the sites have the sun shade for the picnic benches, others do not. There are prairie dogs all over, watch your step for their holes when setting up! Beautiful place to watch for shooting stars. I think our groups favorite part was waking up to the sunrise and sound of bison- we hadn't seen one on our trip yet.. saw one as we walked up the hill and then found the entirety of the herd. The bison made their way across the prairie, one came into the camp and enjoyed using the wooden post to scratch himself. Tent camping went without a hitch!

Be prepared do some driving on rough, loose-gravel roads to get to this campground. Easy to find on…read moregoogle maps if you need directions, though it'll be quicker if you take the northern route as opposed to the southern one (from the Ben Reifel Visitor Center). The site itself is a cul de sac of sorts with picnic tables (half had shade cover, half did not) next to the inside part of the road. My fam and I got there on a mid-day Sunday and there were plenty of spots. Set up our tent next to a shaded picnic table. LOTS of cute prairie dogs everywhere--but they mind their own business as they squeak their day away. By nightfall, almost all of the picnic table/camping spots were taken, but everyone was quiet and respectful after dark. The restrooms had vault toilets and were surprisingly clean with plenty of toilet paper and hand sanitizer, didn't stink either, and no random bugs. As soon as dusk came, the prairie dogs all disappeared (for good reason) and the coyotes came out--they were VERY noisy with their constant howling. It was BEAUTIFUL at night, either the moon illuminated everything, or the river of stars--just wow. My kids and I had a great time here. Things to note: 1. Please be watchful of and stay very close to your pets, especially small ones (dogs/cats), PARTICULARLY at night if they need to go out to do their thing. The coyotes will likely see them as food and you won't see/hear them coming. 2. There is a horse campground next door. My only gripe about Sage Creek is that the riders bring their horses through the human campground sometimes and leave horse poop all over the place, despite clear instructions not to do so (it says they must go around the campground and pick up their horse poo). 3. No generators allowed... but pretty sure the horse campground folks had their generators running until at least midnight. :-/ 4. Make sure you have enough water for drinking, washing, etc. There is no water at this site. Please dispose of grey water appropriately. No electricity either. 5. There are a few hiking trails in the area. No map of those hiking trails though. 6. Buffalo are free to roam in the area. They weren't on the campground when I was there, but found them just around a bend when I left the site. Most importantly, have a great time! Be patient, be filled with wonder.

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.

Upon arrival, without notification, they Cabin 7 to someone else. I specifically reserved it for the convenience of easy access and ample room to part both my truck and Harley. When the front desk people told me they moved me to another cabin behind #7, they said someone else needed that cabin because of camping gear and closer trailer access. They cabin they moved me to did not even have enough room for both my bike and truck. When asking for an explanation, Twila, the manager said "I dont like your attitude and if you don't like it, stay somewhere else". Even after reserving a specic cabin with a deposit, they don't care. I traveled all the way from California and Twila knew that finding new accommodations under $1000 a night would be impossible. Never trust the cabin you reserved will be available and be prepared to ask to leave if you dont like it!
