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 a wonderful campground. The bathrooms/shower house were super clean. Many nice touches throughout the resort. Many sites have beautiful views. Some sites are less desirable. Check a map and pictures before booking. We did have some issues with the electrical supply, but overall a wonderful stay. Highly recommend.

Found The Roost Resort on campendium while planning to to visit Crazy Horse and Mt Rushmore. Called Shelah and Tom to check availability for our trip, 7/11-7/14/21. They were super friendly and helpful, and the deposit was very nominal, I think one day's fee. Paid the remainder upon arrival.
We came to the Roost Resort by way of Siuox Falls. The location is absolutely perfect. We loved getting pop over into Custer City (1800's town with a great modern vibe) in just 5 minutes.
The entrance of the highway was about 400 ft of asphalt and a little bumpy, but completely doable without issue. Check-in was super easy and they have firewood and ice on site for $5 and $2 respectively.
We were at site 10 in the back corner with electric 30amp and water. We looped the small circle and backed in with ease. Needed two leveling blocks on the north side but that was easy too.
I cannot overstate how amazing the view is there (see photos). Neighbor sites are between 10 and 20 feet away. Everyone there was as nice as could be. There are cabin and tent sites on the grounds as well, and all generations were present while we were there.
They have done a great job mapping out the campground and made it easy to familiarize before you go, so be sure to click around the maps on the website!
The bathhouse was unbelievably clean, rustic, and the men's side had 2 showers and one each toilet and urinal stalls. Also a full sink. They provide floor towels to help keep the ground dry, just toss in basket when you're done. Seriously, some of the nicest facilities we've seen.
If I had it to do over again we would have stayed here longer and shortened or follow on stays.

Stayed on site 3, it had a wonderful view and shade. The campground is small but that’s fine for us. Everyone from the owners to guests were all so nice. The showers were very clean but a little small for me but probably fine for an average size guy. Overall we would definitely stay here again.

On the positive side it is a beautiful CG. We watched the deer each night in the meadow. There is a dump station that is hard to get to by the other campers because it is right behind our site.

Great campground convenient to Custer and Custer State Park. Site #11 is in full sun but is big enough for any size rig. Very clean bathrooms.
