We are deeply disappointed to report that our Day Use Comfort Station is temporarily closed until further notice due to severe, deliberate vandalism that occurred last evening.
All toilets within the comfort station were completely destroyed. Senseless acts of destruction like this are completely unacceptable. Vandalism consumes valuable staff time, drains park resources, and directly impacts every visitor who comes to enjoy our public spaces. Due to this, the facility will remain locked until further notice.
If you were in the day-use area yesterday evening and noticed any suspicious activity, vehicles, or individuals around the comfort station, or have information regarding who may have done this, please reach out to our local Conservation Officer at 605-881-3773.
Thank you for your patience and for helping us keep our park safe, clean, and welcoming for everyone.

We still have plenty of open campsites this weekend! If you’re looking to enjoy great weather and a peaceful, uncrowded campground, this might be the perfect time to get outside. Reserve at GoOutdoorsSouthDakota.com
