Not as advertised... We were told by management that we…read morewould have full hookups and a nice natural gas site within a couple of weeks of moving there (we were told two weeks later that he never said that and it would be months later). Don't be fooled by their blog site, it does not look at all like the pictures. The campground has seen some stuff, it needs major renovation on the grounds, the cabins, bathrooms, and their water pipeline. You do not have full hookups until pretty much the summer time since their piping isn't dug deep enough. Reasons to not go here: 1. Management does not give you a copy of their lease so they can do whatever they want when they want 2. They lie so much to their campers. Context: we pulled into our plot and we got accused of breaking the water pipeline (which did not happen). We were told by a previous camper that the person in that same plot before us had left the water on 24/7 in the winter time and destroyed the piping in the process. While digging up the piping their maintenance guy literally ripped off our water hose and didn't tell us while on a excavator. He tucked it underneath our camper and just went on with his day. We come home to find that part of our water hose is broken. No one returned our calls, no one cared. 3. Poor upkeep. Their bathrooms are great if they ever got serviced. The campgrounds themselves are not leveled out, trash is left behind by previous campers. Their cabins have visible damage to them, cracked doors, windows and porch needs help. 4. Cops. The cops love to lurk around there, some people find this comforting but when they are slowly looking into every single plot in their cars looking for something or someone... I get creeped out. This isn't the first time the cops have been there either. 5. Bar is over the campground. They obviously care more about how the bar is doing than the campground. If they put as much work into the bar as they did the campground they'd have a wonderful campground. 6. Ask around. Other people who have stayed in their campground have horror stories galore about this place. I wish I hadn't have spent my money here for such a run down and terrible service. 7. For long term campers they will stick you right next to the highway on a slope. Not only is it loud but it's windy. 8. A woman was nearly beaten to death in the bathrooms and the cops were called for that. Blood sprayed the walls in the mens bathroom. 9. "Bathrooms are only for the cabins because campers already have their amenities, so you shouldn't need our bathrooms. Those are reserved for the cabins full time but we will allow you to use them since it's broken (our gray tank doesn't work)" -Sacora Station Campground We were judged because we couldn't fix that issue immediately. 10. They charge extra for electricity. They won't tell you this until you get there. Which is ridiculous. A 30 amp camper isn't worth metering. Moral of the story... GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Bar...loosely restaurant does have specials on certain days. Bad: Mgt lacks tact. All the bathrooms need serious work, more so than the single wide trailer park mgt works on so hard to get people in for revenue. Sites not level. Ok: The campground is by hwy 90, but quiets down at night. The tent section is up on a hill furthest from the highway and quieter. The RV area is down the hill closer to the highway. Dark, and starry night skies at the tents, but much more light pollution at the RV section.

Rushmore? This does not look like a resort to me but the ladie that runs this place is very nice, and as for the rooms they are very quaint, charming, and unique. It is very peaceful and relaxing. I would come back if the prices were more reasonable.

It's location and the peace and quite, with the surrounding wild flowers and the wild life that just happens to pass by. The prices are cheaper than anywhere else in this economy. I love the nights when Ms. Penny has a large campfire under the star studded sky and everyone sits around and tell stories and just gets acquainted with each other. The cabins are very unique and charming, and very clean. Ms. Penny goes out of her way to make sure that everyone enjoys there stay. The resort is centrally located from anywhere that you might want to go. I have always enjoyed my stay here, that's why I'll come back every year. Karleen W. 5/2013

My family just spent the last six days staying in the two-bedroom cabin at Lake Park Campground. It…read morewas perfect for our family of four. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen, fridge and stove allowed us to prepare meals (we didn't use the grill outside but would have if we weren't touring so much). We appreciated the TV with cable, the "living room area" and the covered porch area where my wife sat out and had her coffee each morning. This spot was perfect for day trips to Custer State Park, The Mammoth Site, Mount Rushmore, Deadwood and so many others. The only minor issue we experienced was that we came during an unprecedented heat wave, and there's one air conditioner for the whole unit. They do provide fans, but this meant we couldn't close doors at night without rooms getting warm. All pretty minor and not something that would matter during normal seasonal temps. We'd definitely recommend this place. It is very affordable and provides plenty of room for your family.

I would expect this rating to improve as the improvements to the facility continue. We stayed for a week and would certainly come back if we find ourselves in the area. As it stands, here are some pros and cons: PROS- The location is beautiful and very peaceful with great night skies. It's out of town but not too far out to access stores and restaurants. There are quite a few full hook up sites, but for those who only get into an electric and water site, the shower houses are nice. We came late in the season so they needed a little cleaning and maintenance, but they have good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The laundry facilities are free. The machines are a little tired, but you can't beat free! Over the air TV reception is good. We got 15 to 20 channels including the four major networks. The owner, Terri, is very accommodating and wants to make this an inviting facility. CONS- The full hook up sites back up to a road. This was not a big deal for us and the road is not very busy, especially overnight. The water pressure is pretty low and variable. The sites are currently all grass and have no fire ring or picnic table. There is no Wi-Fi. (In our experience, even the places that advertise Wi-Fi still don't have it...). However, we have Verizon cell service and got four bars of signal.

Needless to say this place won me over. Lisa and Harvey have done a phenomenal job with this campground and are fantastic hosts. The General Store has most everything you need in case you forget some essential camping needs. All the sites are on nice, flat ground though there isn't much shade. Our site was next to porta potties (plus) and we also had a shelter over our picnic table (plus). We didn't look inside the cabins but they look cozy and have a porch swing out front. The swimming pool is small but really nice and is naturally chlorinated due to the 750 lbs of salt that's been added. Good for the skin :) It can be cool at night here so bring warm clothes.
