The Roost Resort

Stayed 6 nights from 9/1/22 for our 3rd visit to this great small quiet campground. The cleanest bathrooms we have seen in any campground. Very friendly hosts who maintain the property nicely and only about 1 mile from downtown Custer. Not sure why some previous reviews thought backing in was a problem as we had plenty of turnaround space to maneuver. Very good Verizon signal.

This is a very nice and well maintained family owned campground. There are several cabins but only 11 RV sites, so quite cozy and very quiet less than 2 miles from downtown Custer. Our site, as well as the others, can be challenging to back into, but not impossible. The dump station will require you to exit the campground(but not the resort) since its location is on the opposite side when exiting but not when arriving. Anyway, great hosts, hot showers, and a nice setting!!

Small campground (11 sites?) behind a cute cabin resort. Grounds, bathrooms and showers were immaculate. Friendly hosts. Electric and water at all sites, but a shared dump station for some. Camping loop was a bit tight, so I'd hesitate bringing anything longer than 25' in, but that's just me. Meadow next door made for great evening wildlife viewing. About a mile from "downtown" Custer.

We were planning on dry camping in Custer State Park for 4 nights, but weren't getting enough solar into the 2nd day. Called this campground on a Fri. and they had open sites and were just down the road. They gave us a back-in 30 amp FHU site that had plenty of room and was just a few yards from the very clean and well-kept bath house. The RV sites are in the back, lower part of the property and the cabins are in the front. While we had plenty of room, some of the sites are a little oddly sized and small, but would work for a class B. Most of the already occupied sites were pull-thru's with 20-30 ft travel trailers. I wouldn't recommend any large 5th wheels or class A motor homes. It would be a pretty tight fit.

We stayed here for 3 very quiet and peaceful nights in late August. We were lucky enough to have the back mostly to ourselves with only one other rig. The view over the fields to the mountains in the back are beautiful. The location is great only a few minutes to the entrance of Custer State Park and a short-ish drive to Mt. Rushmore, etc...The owners were pleasant. The check in/out policy is a tad on the aggressive side with 10am check out and 3pm check in but it's understandable since it's a small family run operation and they seemed to do all the maintenance themselves. You may need some time to maneuver into your site depending on which one you get as some looked to be a bit of a challenge to get into but nothing too difficult. All in all it was well worth it and we are excited to stay again some day.

This was our 2nd stay at the Roost Resort. We absolutely love it and will be back again. Location is close to Custer and Custer State Park. Views are amazing. Park is quiet as less than a dozen camper spots. This place has a home feel to it with amazing views including daily sightings of deers. Bathrooms are always clean, showers are hot, and the owners are friendly.
