One of our favorite camp spots– it's no frills, but affordable, beautiful and the pond has some great fish. We camped with a 42ft 5th wheel and it was super easy to get in and out quickly. Owner is a lot of fun!

Nothing to write home about. Small with full hookups. Owner was helpful. Lots of trees and grass. Small lake. Stayed a couple of nights while visiting De Smet. Pretty much the only game in town.

It is a full hookup with pull thru site $20 Campground with PA discount located along side US14 just inside Desmet. The place is full of huge 100+ year old oaks. We have a 35 foot travel trailer fit nicely. It is quiet and peaceful. The owners/operators are very nice people. We like our stay. Our Passport America discount made this a great value. It is a cash only. We stayed during the Laura Engel Wilder Pageant. We liked our stay and would stay again.
