Coin operated showers. Good space in between sites. Park rangers patrolling every 30-40 nights overnight. Clean facilities. 20 min walk from campsites to lake. Each spot comes with grill and park style bench.

I loved camping here. It was a perfect quick getaway as it is only about an hour east of SD. We paid around $40 for one day which included a camping site, fishing pass, parking, and pet fee. You need quarters to shower but the showers do have warm water available. I loved it, definitely looking forward to coming back!

Great little get-away for day trip, tent or RV camping. Hiking Trail along the lake was a fun moderately easy hike. Didn't fish but observed many fish jumping out of water as we walked around the lake. The park ranger we talked to said the lake was recently stocked with trout. Bathrooms, showers, and camp sites are well maintained. Lots of grass area for recreational activities.

Slava Murzin | Aug 26, 2018
We4georges George | Aug 26, 2018

Yes, there is fishing but its not very good since the lake has been so low for so long. They do have nice little boats to rent, if you don't have one. Pretty pricey on the weekends but not as much during the week.

What is the largest motor allowed on a 12 foot aluminum boat?

Stan Flickinger | Aug 25, 2020
Miguel B. Hart | Aug 25, 2020

Do you mean your boat or a rental boat? There is no motor size limit. Seen giant motors there. But you can only go like 10mph on the lake. So no matter how big your motor you cant use it's full capacity. The rental boats get up to a little less than that.

How late can you check into the campground?

Katie Molidor | Aug 25, 2020
Nate Church | Aug 25, 2020

Last time we saw people come in after 8pm. Need to confirm with Ranger. Quiet hours are at 10. Fires out at 11.

Could someone get in after hours, tent camp, and pay in the morning?

Jake keliinoi | Aug 26, 2019
Glenn Robins | Aug 26, 2019

If you're walking in from the PCT then yes. There's a special section for hikers snd you'll find simple instructions on the info board in that section as well as other hikers to help you out. Now if you're driving in, I don't know. Probably. What would the Rangers do, close thecgates and lock others in? What it they wanted to leave or make a beer run? I say go for it. As long as you square up in the morning I don't see a problem. Check the tent site for any type of reservation tag before you pitch. Have fun. Wish I was there. Had a great time last month hiking in.

It depends on the site but we have been with a 38 foot 5-wheel that had no problem getting into their site. Plus there is (#55?) a very long pull through. Monena's website lists lengths of each site and they are pretty accurate.
