We had a great trip. The outhouse was clean and smelled nice. The campsites were clean and well maintained. The only negative thing that happened was a group from a neighboring campground decided to take their boat out after dark and were very loud. This group kept going until after 1:30PM. They used foul language and were drinking. We did not get very much sleep that night. Even still, we enjoyed the campout. We swam, hiked, ate great food and fished. It was a very relaxing trip.

Deadwood is just amazing. No other explanation needed.

Recreation.gov does a terrible job managing the sites at the Hower's, Riverside and Barney's campgrounds near Deadwood Reservoir. Numerous, and I mean almost all, sites with reserved placards went unoccupied. The mismanagement of these "Fee" sites is costing the forest service revenue and inciting people to create new diverse camp sites. The camp host, Gary Sturm, did his best to make unfilled sites available later in the afternoon. Garret, the area ranger, was very nice and polite policing the campgrounds. We interacted with him on 2 occasions and he was the example of professional. The facilities at the camp sites are adequate.

Nice campsite and the forest service ranger was very helpful on information about which roads to avoid. Spent a week here and it was a wonderful getaway. Partly shaded for the RV but enough sunlit patches to have the solar panels keep the batteries fully charged. Plenty of trees to hand the hammocks. Would definitely stay here again.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
