Western South Dakota: 8 miles east of Belle Fourche off SD Hwy 212.
There weren’t many photos of the campsites on the website for this place, so we didn’t know exactly what we were getting into. We were just passing by on a road trip and thought “it’s only one night if it sucks.” But it did NOT suck. The drive in was beautiful! Rolling grass fields, a calm lake, and dreamy Midwest skies welcomed us to a grassy campsite on the lake. There wasn’t much privacy between sights, and a young girl riding her pink bike up and down the road kept giving us the stink eye, but we had a wonderful night. The electricity at the campsite was reliable. There was a fenced in dog park with little prairie dogs under it my dog had a great time chasing. I slept for 10 hours as it was such a quiet spot. It was a bit buggy though - I received 47 mosquito bites on my legs. Truly a new personal record. Yes, I used bug spray. Maybe should’ve worn pants.
