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.

Compared to sylvan Lake Campground, this one lacked a little bit of privacy, but still a well…read moremaintained campground. We stayed in the site 25 which is technically a tent only/walk in site, but your car is parked right at the edge of your campsite so everything was still in close proximity. We had a staff member come up to us to check us in when we are setting up camp and she was so lovely. She told us everything we need to know about the campsite, where the drinking water was, what animals will be roaming the park, the pet policy, etc. The campsites are very shady which was nice! The general store has your typical souvenir apparel and gifts but also groceries, essentials, and beer! We enjoyed our stay but probably wouldn't pick this campground again because we personally like more secluded campsites.

We stayed at one of their basic cabins, which is a good value for money considering the other…read morelodging options within the park (that is not straight up camping). The cabins are pretty spacious, sleep 5 and have a nice outdoor patio, table and fire pit. Every cabin has parking for 1 car and bathrooms are shared nearby. The cabins were clean and basic, bring your own sleeping bag, pillow and whatever else you need. The only downside is the tiny bathroom, we had all cabins full and a good 120-130 people in the loop. But there is only 1 bathhouse with 3 toilet/sink/shower combo. It's not a regular bathhouse with 2 stalls shower, 3-4 toilets and 3 sinks. It was 3 actual bathrooms (they call it family bathrooms) that 100+ people have to share and get ready in the morning and nighttime. So once bathroom 1 had a family of 4 showering, that was blocked for half an hour. Got one more in the shower, you are down to a single toilet until someone decides to vacate the other bathrooms. Not ideal to say the least, you just have to get in line before you really really have to go. Lol The main lodge was across the street with good food options and there was also a small store and gas station on the campground side.

Riders beware before you book READ THIS!…read more We booked this spot based on the website stating "trail access" . I ended up calling due to questions around the permit needed to access trails. I was told to purchase one in town at the Conoco or somewhere else that sells them, ok fine no problem any other places that sell them?? Silence on the phone....crickets...ok ...then I asked about the trail access, hoping to get a site close to it because we have a side by side and I was told, and I quote "oh that trail is very small ", ok, how do we access the the other trails, "I am not sure you would have to call and find out ", really, you don't know the trail system but advertise trail access and have utv/atv pictures plastered on your website. Frustrating. When I said let me speak with my husband we may cancel if we can't access the trails, response was "ok"....huh?!? I mean, your not even going to ask me how you can help or get me a number or I mean just anything helpful? NOPE! She then went on about possible snow at the tree line and that we most likely couldn't ride, but to call and find out, nothing provided to help me find this out! How do you NOT know this, you have trail access? So again, why doesn't it say "seasonal" trail access or a disclaimer to verify trail access with maybe a link or something....anything!?? She then tells me, your UTV has to be licensed, street legal to ride the road to the other trails, but still doesn't know where they are but most likely closed. Small trail map on thier website but when I asked about this trail, wasn't sure if that was a trailhead or the small one she told me about, frustrating. Now, I fully understand, the person who was speaking to me, who was very nice and very pleasant, could be wrong or not understand trails, but for $65 dollars a night and a permit fee on a "hope" to ride, just no. I feel the website is misleading, staff not informed about trail system, SMH. Now, on the site they have a small trail map, is that the trail they are referring to the is small or is this a trail head, is there another trail, THEY HAD NO CLUE. I am aware that as a rider you have to do research, ultimately it's up to us to find trail maps, know the laws etc...but don't advertise trail access and you can't tell me where, how to access, how far is the trail, is it open.....basic questions, should have answers. We have been on a ton of trails, ORV parks, traveling through the US riding and each place provided so much more information, extremely helpful. We canceled at this Campsite due to lack of help or information. Booked today at 9:50am, called with questions then decided to cancel at 12:30pm same-day, still charged $25 dollars to cancel, I understand about covering cost and time, but honestly your staff is not well informed to help riders feel confident in booking/staying.
