Okay, so this is not a destination type place. However, when I called needed a place for my kids and myself, I had a very warm and positive response to hold a space. They only take cash ($30/night). I was worried we wouldn't make it and have no place to stay, so called again and was assured there was space and to not rush out of the severe weather we were avoiding under a bridge and hour away where several other RV's and semi's had overturned.
So, my first impression was quite favorable.
We did arrive at dusk and seemed a bit desolate at perhaps a bit shady as nobody answered in the "office" which was literally through a huge garage that seemed a bit down and out to come up to the side of a trailer with a door bell that nobody answered. I did get an immediate response to the phone number and was so happy to see someone to greet us and even help back in during the night (usually my boys help, but it was definitely a trying day and they were happy to stay put)... very helpful assistance and advised us of the full hookups (all working) and the restroom/showers which were very basic but found them to be clean.
There was a pool but not in order and was advised on the initial phone call that there is no pool, it's not really a campground and basically rv parking.. With the motorcycles all around for Sturgis and the storm, none of that mattered.. we needed a place to stop and rest and this truly fit that bill.. there were a few others that arrived after us with similar travel issues and I believe we were all thankful for the overnight stop and availability.
Would I book this place with intention to stop as a destination? Well, no, there's not much for amenities and really is an overnight stop unless you need to be monthly, though there is grass and shade which speaks better than some of the KOA's on our cross country trip.
The restrooms and showers were clean, full hook ups, but cash only and does appear a bit run down at first glance. Seems to be many full time residents if that matters. It didn't to us and wouldn't matter if we needed an overnight again..
We had low expectations from reviews, was worried when nobody answered the doorbell for some time.. but if we needed a stop in Kadoka again I'd be comfortable for a night here again. read more
