This is one of the prettiest campgrounds in Custer. Its not the prettiest campground in general, but we really enjoyed our stay.

This is one of the prettiest campgrounds in Custer. Its not the prettiest campground in general, but we really enjoyed our stay. There is no water at the sites and you cannot fill your tanks at the campground, so fill before coming. The dump station (and water) is in the Game Lodge area 15 minutes east of the campground. There are clean showers and a water spigot next to the bathhouse. We had decent coverage with TMobile.
Custer is incredible, arguably the most beautiful state park in the country.

We stayed three nights. Beautiful setting right across the road from the lake and in the heart of amazing Custer State Park. Close to park stores and lodges. Everything worked well and campsite host stopped by daily to see how we were doing. Our sight was not one of the best in the campground as it was just a “pull off” to the side of the campground road. But we got it on fairly short notice so not a complaint - we we’re happy to get into this beautiful park.

We got really fortunate to book this campsite less than 12 hours before arrival. The campsite has a large clean restrooms with three showers. The campsite is nice and long with level parking pad and plenty of room to spread out.

This has got to be our favorite campground. Mainly because it’s so close to Legion lake and the trail there is a perfect hike with the dogs. The campground is very open with little for tree coverage, though. Site 9 was very level. Couldn’t get it better with leveling blocks if I tried. 10 looks the same way.

Super clean shower and bathroom facilities. After a long day of hiking, it was great to come “home” to a clean, quiet space and enjoy a campfire. Verizon had three bars. The lake is beautiful as well. We would stay here again for sure !

Can't beat Custer State Park!! The Wildlife loop is an absolute must!! Be sure to get up early or head out in the evening. The campground was quiet at night and full of summer fun in the day! Level sites with electric hook up. Easy access and plenty of room between the neighbors.

Site 1 is quite close to the main road. So expect a lot of traffic noise, starting early in the morning. Also very little shade. Its quieter and more shaded further in to the campground. Very friendly hosts. Good bath house with no-pay showers. Sites are all paved and are level. We had bison at our site. There is a lodge across the street where you can get wood, ice and beer - but not milk. We also stayed at Sylvan lake - much quieter (except for the tourist helicopters) but no cell service.

Clean and well maintained campground!
Comes with it’s own Bison and Deer that roam the campground on a regular basis!
Bath and Showers were cleaned daily! We actually used the showers, which we rarely do in a State Park campground!
Biggest drawback for this campground is that the dump is about 10 miles away, near the visitor center!
Saw many Bison (3 large herds and solitary males), Deer, Elk, Big Horn Sheep, and other wildlife!
Several trails for hiking and biking! Along with other activities previously described!
Borders the Wind Cave NP, which is well worth the visit! Scenic Drives abound! Of course, Mt Rushmore is near by!
Crazy Horse is nothing more than a commercialized ripoff! View it from HWY 16 and save yourself many dollars!
Will definitely comeback here again!

We did not have long enough to enjoy this campground. The sites are very long, paved and fairly level. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. The bathroom was very clean and appeared reasonably modern. Tempera 5d urr were very pleasant and we were able to leave the windows open and turn the fan off at night, skipping A/C, altogether.
I would love to visit this park, again, for longer. This seems like a park that l, although popular, is a place you could really kick back and relax.
