If I had to say one negative, it was that we were unable to get a late checkout time so we paid for an extra evening to checkout 2.5 hours late. We will be staying here next year!

The entire campground feels brand new and is impeccably maintained. We had a creek running just behind our site so it was beautiful to sit beside it or hear it when we went to go to sleep. There are only 18 sites so it a little slice of heaven. I advise that you make your reservations early. Bathrooms are private and they have complimentary hot showers. Immaculately clean. There is a small clubhouse where you can sit and watch tv, make some coffee, play foosball, use the microwave, etc. This is a place we will come back to and revisit again and again!

The bathrooms are clean, the shower was nice to have and the camp spots are private. We found this place randomly online and it was only $20, 5 minutes from crazy horse and had everything we needed for a nice night to stay near Mt. Rushmore (about 30 minutes but not a bad drive at all). We hope to come back one day and visit because we really loved it here! We had a tent spot near the top of the hill and it was all to ourselves. Gary was so nice and gave us a tour of the property, there's a lake with little paddle boats, a fresh running spring, beautiful views of crazy horse right from the back end of the property. Amazing experience, we will be back one day!

Sylvan Lake was easily one of the highlights of our trip to South Dakota and one of the most…read morebeautiful places we visited in the Black Hills. The scenery here is absolutely breathtaking. Crystal-clear water is surrounded by massive granite rock formations, towering pine trees, and some of the most picturesque landscapes you'll find anywhere in the region. One of our favorite parts was walking around the lake on the easy Shoreline Trail. The trail is well maintained and offers incredible views from every angle. We also enjoyed walking across the historic stone dam, which provides a fantastic vantage point for photos and a great perspective of the lake and surrounding rock formations. What makes Sylvan Lake special is that it's the perfect destination for almost everyone. Whether you enjoy hiking, photography, kayaking, swimming, rock scrambling, or simply relaxing in nature, there's something here for you. The area is clean, well cared for, and easy to access. The location is also an excellent starting point for hikers heading to Black Elk Peak, but even if you don't plan to do a longer hike, the lake itself is worth the visit. If you're exploring Custer State Park or driving the Needles Highway, don't miss Sylvan Lake. It's one of those rare places that looks even better in person than it does in photographs. Highly recommended! Check out our video on our socials @reessroots

This is an awesome campground within an incredible state park…read more We stayed two nights at Sylvan Lake Campground and were really impressed, especially by how clean everything was! I couldn't believe how spotless the bathrooms were every single time I went in, it was perfect. The electric sites are fairly close together, so if you're looking for more privacy, I'd recommend the walk-in sites. The unfortunate thing about the walk-in sites are the more secluded sites (like #16, #17, and #21) require a bit of an uphill trek. It's not a long walk, but it does take a little bit of effort to get everything up there. That said, Site #21 was one of the best campsites I've ever stayed in, it was worth the extra sweat. The only reason I'm giving this place four stars is because the trail to the walk-in sites is very rough. They do provide a wheelbarrow to help carry your stuff, but the terrain is so rocky that using it seemed like more trouble compared to just walking your stuff up. Overall we enjoyed our stay and everyone was so quiet, it really felt like it was just you in nature.

This is a rustic campground in the Black Hills. It is extremely beautiful. Our site was #12 and we…read moreloved it. It was in the middle and we had a little hill to take our chairs up and sit. It was almost level and had a picnic table and fire pit. We spent a lot of time sitting outside and there were no bugs or mosquitos. They have pit toilets and spigots for water. It was very clean, well maintained and quiet. The walk to the lake was down some easy stairs and there was plenty of shoreline to fish. It is minutes from the entrance of Custer State Park and about 30 minutes from Mt Rushmore. The town of Custer is maybe 10 minutes away and has gas stations, a grocery store and restaurants. We stayed 3 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend this campground.

We were really lucky to get into this campground. I was told that on a holiday weekend you are…read morerequired to stay at least 3 nights in a campground operated by the federal government. That wasn't working with our trip schedule so I was really excited to find I could reserve a single night at this campground. It's located only a couple miles out of the city of Custer, so really close to gas, groceries, and things to do. The campsite was really nice, it had a place for us to back into and then a walkway down to where you could pitch your tent. There are no showers at this campground, and other facilities are minimal. There is a porta potty and a faucet with running water outside. This was the priciest campground we stayed at on our trip. I reserved it online and it was around 30.00 a night. Plus the park entrance fee is 15.00. It is too bad that the most expensive campground we stayed at had the least amenities. The lake was beautiful, though we really didn't get a chance to enjoy it at all. Overall, it's definitely roughing it a bit more than other campgrounds, but it's clean and next to a beautiful lake. I wouldn't be opposed to staying here again in the future.
