Jim, one of the maintenance guys, happened to be checking out a cabin next to us and we asked for help-not knowing how much help we'd get after our first campsite issue. When we were ready to leave the campground our battery decided to go kaput. Staff member Mike went above and beyond and was very kind in diffusing the situation and helping us find a new site. We did however get another very nice site for our second night. In making advanced reservation over the phone I happened to say I agreed that ‘it would be nice to be near the restroom.’ So that’s what they did, put us in campsite # 1 in a 22’ travel van that was quite literally right next to the bathroom/showers, putting us inside the “L” area of that and a garage, and literally a few feet from a large propane tank! Needless to say the aesthetics were poor and not at all appealing! This should NOT be a campsite or at least not a full pay site! There was nothing else available and no compensation. All in all i will defiantly be staying at Beaver Lake again in the future! Almost all the spots have the privacy of trees. I cant review the RV spots as we were in the cabin but they all looked well placed and spaced out, rather than on top of each other. If your looking for something more commercial with crazy amounts of activities then the Koa may be right for you, but if your looking for a quiet place to stay and get away from it all then Beaver Lake is defiantly the place. We stayed at the Rushmore KOA after our stay here only because the last few dates we wanted here were already booked and it was terrible compared to Beaver Lake. Compared to surrounding campgrounds, it was very cozy and had a very family run atmosphere. Didn't get a chance to try their Wi-Fi as we brought our own ATT hotspot, but the hotspot had great connection the whole time to allow us to do our work. If a minor repair needed to be done the staff were always on it right away. Plenty of space and amenities (mini fridge, microwave, tv, Coffee maker). Our Cabin C3 was perfect for the two of us. The staff were all very nice and accommodating. We didn't have a chance to check out the pool (i think it opens May25?) and would be sure to schedule our next visit during a time when its open. We stayed from late April-Mid May, so we almost had the whole campground to ourselves. The campground was always peaceful, it was well wooded and everything was in walking distance. Definitely a return.Īmazing campground! My girlfriend and i, as well as our puppy stayed here for a month to work remotely and it had everything you could ask for. That being said, this is not a sparkly “luxury” park, although we were surrounded by folks with luxury rvs. Compared to other campgrounds we toured in the area, I think this one is the best, and priced quite reasonably. The owner said upgrades r in the works, so check with them if important. That coupled with weak wi-fi that only works at the office was a challenge. Cell service throughout the Black Hills is poor to non-existent. On site store is well stocked (wine,too). Grocery store local inCuster is okay, but i would stock up b4 u come. ![]() Could use some updating, but perfectly serviceable. This was a great central location in Black Hills to explore everywhere. Owner (I think) on site and always asking about your experience. Looks like they r continuously improving. Very helpful staff in office, and workers everywhere. Lots of trees ( and bugs, bring repellant).
