A great campground where the owners go the 2nd mile for you. Owner offered to make a repair on our hitch and I also saw him helping another camper with an automotive problem. The campground is attractive with plenty of sites: some out in open and some under trees which all offer nice shade. One of the few places that lets you wash your car or RV for a small fee. Has free bicycles for camper use, pools, arcade, book swap, video rental. You name it...they have it. We'd camp here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a really nice park especially for big rigs. Our site had a nice big grassy spot, and we had other campers as well as the employees drive/walk/ride bikes through our campsite. We complained to an employee, and they didn't do it again. The campers continued to ride/walk through, so we parked our tow vehicle so campers couldn't enter our site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for a week visiting the Black Hills. Due to the lateness of our reservation over the July 4th holiday, our site was not the best. However, all other aspects of our stay were positive. The ladies in the office were extremely nice and offered great tips about our stay. Wifi worked excellent, which was a bonus given that we got zero TV reception and our phone service was spotty at best. Bathrooms were spotless and were checked several time per day. Rated noted above is a discount for a 7 day stay. Lastly, my kids had a blast at the water side, and it is well worth the minimal cost for the hours of enjoyment it brought. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have stayed here several times with our children and the owners are always very friendly and helpful. We were rained out of our tipi the first weekend we stayed and they let us rent a cabin for a very small fee and provided all bedding for us and then rented us an rv also for a small fee. They have free bicycles for the kids to ride and a great pool with water slide. Very quiet and nice campground. Will definitely go back again!!! We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

While we did not get to stay in this park due to an error on the new staff's bookkeeping, I rated this campground on their service in notifying me timely of the lack of a site,and I feel the customer service was outstanding in finding us sites next door at the KOA for the same rate. I feel they did well owning up to the error and for going the extra mile to fix it. We were offered sites there but needed full hookups at the time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

When we first arrived, we were disappointed by how close the sites are to each other. The sites don't have too many trees and the playground was a bit run down but most times full of kids! They have a variety of bikes to borrow which was nice for those kids who didn't bring their own. The arcade was a big hit with my son. The waterslide and pool were a great addition but it would be nice if the campers didn't have to pay extra for the slide. The staff were all very friendly and the service was good. The laundry was open 24 hours. There was not much space for dog walking because you are always on someone's site but there is a public road that runs alongside the campground that I explored with my dog. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice place and unlike most in the area the sites (we were in) were quite level. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful and the facilities were clean and well maintained. It would be nice if they had cable but the WiFi worked OK. We signed up for 3 nights and extended for a 4th. We had to move the last night but not a big deal and the owner was very accomodating. It makes a great base of operations while in the area. We'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 5 days before July 4 weekend playing virtual grand parents to friends in a 5th wheel. The camp has many pine trees and most of the folks that stay here have children. There are lots of folks in Cabins and Teepee's. It reminded me of camping as a boy and I loved the pine forest, camp fires, and the small pond out back. The location is great with Deadwood, Custer, Jewel Caves, Mammoth site, and monuments – Rushmore and Crazyhorse close by. Take the 1880 train from Hot Springs to Keystone. This is a great place to stay if you want to see the Black hills. Wi-Fi is free and very good. Cell phone connection is poor to frustrating. Water pressure was low in our site. Bottom line, loved it. Hosts Hammers were very good to us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is Good Sam, but be sure that you insist on your discount at check-in, even if you informed them when you made the reservation. They will not honor it after you check-in. Office staff and owners were rude and not friendly throughout our stay. We used this as a base-camp for our time in the Black Hills. Our site (33) was nice and had shade, however when it rained, all the rain from the top of the hill by the office rain down into our site and right under the door to our camper. The pool often had to have a certain number of swimmers or they would not open it, as a result, our children did not use the poor or the slide. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

All of the facilities in the campground are in top shape. There is a heated pool, and even a waterslide (costs extra but looked like fun - we did not use it). Sites are large, with a choice of shade or sun. There are long pull-throughs available - ours was about 90 feet. We have a 40 foot motorhome with four slides, and there was plenty of room. The restrooms and showers were very clean, as was the laundry. The tent sites have roofs over the picnic tables, and there is a dishwashing sink at the restroom. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice place to spend a few days. Most of the sites are shaded, but there is one section that is open with trees around the edge. The staff was friendly and courteous. The campground is home to many domesticated rabbits that are all over the place. This drove our dog crazy day and night. We saw many children picking up the rabbits even though there were signs saying not to pick them up. In addition to the pool there is a water slide available for an extra charge. There is a bike rack with several loaner bikes available. Our rate reflects a higher than normal charge due to Bike Week. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here the last week of July. It is a great base for visiting Crazy Horse, Rushmore, Devils Tower, Deadwood, Sturgis and others. The camp sites were roomy, shaded, with plenty of water and power. The restrooms were clean and nearby. We did not use the pool, but we really liked this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Beautiful park.....The only reason it doesn't get a 10 is it wasn't free. We stayed for 5 days. 80% of the campground has shade. I saw deer every morning, in a field at the back of the campgrounds, when I walked my dogs. Look out for the friendly rabbits running around. The campground is located in a hilly area, so one section was on one side of the hill, another on the other and another on an other side. You could only see about 1/4 of the campground depending on where you were. It made the campground seem very small for having 96 sites. The sites are a good size. They each have a picnic table and fire pit. The tent sites have a small covered shelter for your picnic table in case it rains. It has a pool and water slide. It is centrally located, so you can go out for half a day and be back to spend time in camp for the rest of the day. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A real family oriented park - has teepee's, cabins, tent sites in addition to motorhome sites. Has a pool and water slide for kids of all ages. Lots of almost tame rabbits around - free bikes of all sizes for camapers use. Sites are roomy and not crammed all together wherever possible. Have some shade and some open sites. Convenient to all the interesting sights. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a great park with plenty of space between sites. The park was located within a hour or less of everything we wanted to do. We loved that we were surrounded by lots of pine trees! The park was also quiet at night and the other campers were very friendly. The restrooms were clean and the staff was very friendly and told us the easiest way to get to our site. The only negative thing that I could say was that the Fi-Fi wasn't available from our campsite, but we were too busy site-seeing that it wasn't that big of a deal. We would definitely stay here again and hope to be back. Rate noted was for a full hook-up. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice place to stay in the area, especially for the price. We showed up at 9:30 pm but called ahead to tell them we would be late. They said no problem and left a map for us at the office with directions to our site. They have a special tenting only area that is quiet, out of the way of RVs and shaded for sites. The bathrooms and showers were only 200 ft from our site, that was great! Would highly recommend this campground to tenters and anyone with an RV. Only a couple minutes drive to Custer and a very pleasant area. We camped here in a Tent.

This is one of those camp sights that appeared to be somewhat cramped and I stress the word "appeared". Our stay was for two nights in the off season and we pretty much had the entire camp to ourselves but on our walk about, we noticed that most of the sights were quite close to one another. The owners were very friendly and made us feel quite welcome. We would defiantly stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped at BIG PINES CAMPGROUND over 4th of July weekend in 2008. We really enjoyed this campground. Our campsite was #39 in the upper loop right next to the bath-house. This campground had one of the cleanest bath-houses we have ever had at a campground. The owners took pride in their campground and it showed with their kind service.Tall pine trees are throughout the campground and the sites (on upper loop) were very nice a spacious.I highly recommend this campground...but make sure to reserve one of the campsites in the upper loop.

We stayed at Big Pine Campground for two nights. The staff was friendly and helpful. The local map they supplied was necessary and guided us to area attractions. In this dry area, dust layers everything. The sites are dirt and the roads are gravel. Terrian is hills and in a forest of mature pines, so it was shady. Our picnic table was permanently installed on a downhill slant. We enjoyed visiting this area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

One of the nicest parks we've stayed at in the last 30 days. We spent a week at this park and absolutely enjoyed ourselves. Glenn & Marcy, owners of the park, are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Glenn was a great guy and has a really nice truck he's been working on. Marcy runs the desk and store and is a pleasure to see 1st thing in the morning. They have coffee, excellent DSL in the office (great Sat TV too) and WiFi which will extend right into the game room. My 7yr old loved the playground and gameroom too. The laundry was clean and did a good job washing the clothes. What we really liked about the site is that you're way off the main road as the sites are set back and up the hill. This gives you a great view of the valley and a nice quite evening. Glenn is up at the crack of dawn making sure your stay with them is a fantastic one. Then he's off in the kitchen to cook Marcy's breakfast. Now how great is that? The restrooms are super clean (could eat off the floor) and the showers were strong, hot and soft. Couldn't wait to get back to take a shower each day. We enjoyed our stay and Glenn & Marcy so much that I would have loved to buy the place next to them because they would be wonderful neighbors. We highly recommend staying here and we know your memories will be a good one. We camped here in a Motorhome.

GREAT park! It's beautiful and very reasonably priced. We've stayed at the KOA and Beaver Campgrounds in Custer and they DO NOT compare to Big Pines. The restrooms were clean and the showers were large. They also had great water pressure. Our site was large, but all sites here are not created equal so you might want to check them out. There is also an ATV trail in the back of the park where we walked our dogs. It's wide and well maintained. It was a great place to hang our hats. The Wi-Fi worked well. We would definitely stay here again. It was a great value for our dollar and the staff was great! We camped here in a Motorhome.

I'm not sure why the 2 previous people posted that it was difficult to get through this campground with a motorhome. We had a 40' motorhome and had no problems. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved all the trees. There's too much to see and do in the area to sit and watch TV. If someone complains because they couldn't get a signal, they should stay home. The restrooms were impeccable and the campground was kept very clean. Owners and staff were very friendly and attended to our every need. We would definitely stay at this park again.

This campground is best suited for 5th wheels and travel trailers. As another member posted, it is really TIGHT fit for motor homes. We have a 40' and it was difficult to make the turns, and it was very tight. There are so many trees we couldn't get any tv reception from satellite or antenna. The owners are very nice people. We believe if they would thin out some trees, and improve some of interior roads it would be better. Because of the above we would not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Well, this is not a "perfect" RV park as the last reviewer claims. Perhaps they had their own internet and tv set-ups, and didn't need the laundry room. This is a nice place for the Black Hills but be aware that the wonderful shade from the pine trees means you probably won't get a tv signal with an antenna. And the rustic, woodsy setting is on a hillside so big rigs and trailers will have an interesting haul. The laundry room, gameroom, WiFi access and office are way down the hill and a tiring walk back when carrying your stuff. Still, the owners are very nice people who work hard to keep the place clean and friendly. A great deal with Passport America, tho only on 3 weeknights. PA rate was $13.50 for FHU. Sites mostly level; some a bit tight. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are looking for CLEAN restrooms and showers this is the place. The management run a first class campground, they aim to please: how nice!! Its a little tight for big rigs, but one can get in and out OK. The best sites are way at the top on the far end. This is, in my opinion, the best campground in the southern Black Hills. I had to rate it a 10 because of the super friendly atmosphere, the unbelievably clean restrooms and the unsurpassed overall maintenance. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here for the 4th of July celebration at Mt. Rushmore. The campground is very well kept. The restrooms are spotless at all times. The shower set up is great your clothes, etc. do not get wet while you shower. The laundry has 4 washers and 4 dryers all in working order. The campsites were all shaded as you are in the National Forest. The campground is on a hill BUT the sites are all level. We had water and electric but there are sites with full hookups also. There were some very big rigs in the campground when we were there. We enjoyed this campground and would go back again and highly recommend it. It is about 22 miles from Mt. Rushmore. It is a Good Sam Campground so got our discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful park-like surroundings with sites between huge Ponderosa Pines. Definitely one of the shadiest and most private sites we saw in the Black Hills. Wireless Internet does not reach through the park but the air-conditioned "Internet Hook-Up Room" with DSL and free coffee more than makes up for this. Very clean rest-rooms and the air-hockey in the game room was a blast! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found this campground in the Passport America directory. We paid 50% of the nightly rate. The hosts were the nicest people who did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. (I was temporarily on crutches due to an ankle injury). The amenities were spotless and they had me use a beautiful 'bathroom' (which I think was for disabled guests). The park was ideally situated to visit the Black Hills attractions. The horse corrals were up the rear of the park and did not impact on other campers. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

This was the 3rd year we have stayed at Broken Arrow. The owners do excellent job keeping park shipshape. They added large wooden playground equipment and swing this year and the kids really liked it. We stayed a week in July with our 3 grandkids and then a month in September. Great night sky views here; very quiet. There are no "seasonals" here although some folks come for a few days and stay a lot longer! Rate shown reflects monthly rate of $500. Regular nightly rate about $35 - but if you stay 6 nights you get 7th free. Passport America is valid before April 15 and after August 15. Park usually closes about Oct 15 for season (closed Oct 5 this year). Motorcycle rally usually not an issue here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We are Passport members and camped here for a week. It is centrally located in the Black Hills and convenient to all the sites. For the price this campground is more than adequate. The pull throughs are spacious. Although we are not horse owners, we found that many of the people with horses were satisfied repeat customers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We used Passport America for three of the five days we stayed here. Very unique campground with areas for horses. A little ways outside of Custer but easy access to all the tourist sites. Beautiful view from our pull-through site. Sites easily accommodate large rigs. Family owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend this campground.

Rate reflects Passport America. Nice well kept, quiet park but the hilly terrain made for a very off-level site! Very large/long sites with plenty of grassy room between sites. It was wide open for satellite reception but also had a nice ambiance. Good location for exploring all the venues of the Black Hills; also close to Custer State Park. Easy trip into town for shopping. Pleasant owners. Half the campground is a horse camp, so be prepared for the accompanying smells and sounds, although it didn't bother us much. One night we were kept awake by constantly barking dogs, which the owners admit they heard too, but did nothing about. If not for the off-level site and barking dogs, this would have been a 9 rating. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The rate shown is for Passport America. For the price, it's a great campground. The owners work hard to provide a good experience and mostly, succeed. Sharing a campground with horses and horse trailers is interesting and works well. We only smelled manure a couple of times and we've stayed in campgrounds that didn't have horses that smelled worse for longer. The sites are long, with good space between them, with picnic tables and a fire ring at each site. Maneuvering around the campground is easy. The location is great. The laundry is spotless, with new machines, although a bit small for the number of sites here. It would be a 10 except for a couple of things: the sites are not level. They are terraced and tend to be uneven. We had a problem with a barking dog one night and when we mentioned it to the manager the next morning she said she had heard it and was going to talk to the people but when she went out in the morning she couldn't figure out which rig it was. She should have figured it out during the night, especially since they make a big deal out of telling people with dogs how they need to take care of them and that people with barking dogs will be told to leave. Finally, they never gave us any information about the ice cream social, so we didn't know about it until we read the prior review that mentioned it. Maybe everyone's tired: it is close to the end of the season. For an otherwise well-managed and nice campground, those couple managerial lapses stand out. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

First time at a horse campground and it was great! We didn't have/bring any animals, but enjoyed the horses and pets on the place. It was real easy to let the kids run without concern. The campground has a great view of the surrounding valley and mountains. The hosts were outstanding. The only reason for a 9 rating and not a 10 is that the Wi-Fi always seemed to be maxed out, I could connect, but completed very few web pages before giving up. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful views of mountains in front and forest in back. Owners bend over backwards to accommodate you. Ice cream social every night. Restrooms were clean as was the campground.

Very few rigs in park so parking the 5th wheel was easy. Park and restrooms are modern and clean, gravel roads and pads. Park is located about 6 mi. from town (2E & 4S) so it is far from the crowds but it could be inconvenient for someone wanting a location close to restaurants, etc. Location is next to all the local favorites such as Custer SP, Crazy Horse, Mt Rushmore, biking trail, etc. Would stay here again.

This was a great find for us. The horse corals and parking is in the East end of the campground. Far enough from us that we didn't hear anything, yet could enjoy watching the riders come and go on the road. Horse people are good people we have found. The campground is situated on a slope so there are views of the valley. Deer frequent the CG. The only drawback we found was the price of the laundry (which isn't a big deal to many that don't full time). We found the $2.00 per wash and $2.00 per dry excessive. The owners are super nice, the CG is very clean, the sites are spacious. We'd definitely stay here again. Thanks! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We found this park in 2007 and returned for a month in 2008. Rate reflects Passport America rate. There is also a monthly rate available year-round ($480 for 30 days)) which about equals the P.A. rate. Note the P.A. rate is not valid May 31-Aug 15. In addition to RV sites, there is a four-unit motel-style bunkhouse which is great for extra visitors. Yes, they do host horse groups, but they are separate and do not affect other campers. The owners are great hosts and make you feel most welcome. CG is also a bit higher altitude than town of Custer so summer temperatures are even lower. Great views and gentle breezes make this a very inviting location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

They've done a great job in 2 years turning this land into a wonderful campground. We planned to stay a week but just went up today and extended it another week. It will be hard to leave such a great place. Sites are large. Utilities are good. Nice fire ring & grill at each site. Ice cream every night! Local musicians drop in now and again to sit on the porch and pick and sing. We're having a great time and would love to spend a whole summer here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We picked this park based on reviews from this site and another forum. We paid for 2 weeks, and ended up extending that twice, staying nearly a month. It was hard to leave, as we love it there! The owners are former semi-truck drivers who understand how important it is to be able to maneuver big rigs. They've done all the work in this campground themselves. We had no trouble getting our 40' motor home and tow car in and out. The sites are level, plenty long enough for big rigs. The space between sites is grass. Access roads are gravel. The horse camp portion is well-separated from the RV section. The Wi-Fi is very strong and fast. Water and electric service is very good. There are no tall trees right in the campground, but they have a lot of trees planted, so in a few years, there will be shade. We had no trouble getting satellite to lock on from our site in the north row, facing north. They have an ice cream social every evening. The owners are great people, very friendly and helpful. The view of the spires and needles in the Black Hills is great. It's close enough to all the attractions in the area to be a great base camp. We definitely will go back to this great little campground! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is located approximately 6 miles from downtown Custer. It offers something for every type of “camper” - It is a horse camp and RV park but there are separate areas for each. There are also a few sites under the pine trees for tents and a few rooms for horse campers who don’t have sleeping accommodations. The owners have owned the land for several years but the park has been in place for only two years. Owners live on site. It is the hospitality of the owners that make this park special. There were many repeat visitors while we were here. Restrooms and showers were immaculate. There is only one washer and dryer so you might have to go to town to do laundry for multiple loads. Sites can accommodate any size rig length including slides. However, the sites are all open and have no shade. We were in Site 1 which wasn’t very level and had to do a bit of leveling. The park is convenient to many activities in the Black Hills. We got National access on our Verizon air card. The park’s Wi-Fi worked well. With our Over the Air GT, we could only get 3 TV channels. Our Verizon cell phone worked fine. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a new park, in a very scenic location. Very convenient for visiting Custer, Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park and the Needles Highway. The owners live on site and give the park their personal attention. The WiFi seemed to work well throughout the park. All the facilities are in excellent condition. The laundry room had only one washer and dryer which could be a problem if the park was full. Over the air TV reception was poor and cable is not available at this park.

A new campground since 2006, and constructed with care and attention by the on-site owners. Nightly rate is $25 for FHU and an additional $3.00 for 50 Amp electric. If you stay five nights you get the sixth one free. The owners come out and personally greet you when you arrive, chat with you and show you to your site. They have a genuine concern for people. We camped here during the annual Sturgis motorcycle rally (we are not bikers), but were away from all the noise and commotion. Campground is in a quiet setting very close to famous Custer State Park as well as near Crazy Horse Mountain and Mount Rushmore. As mentioned in an earlier review, there is a "bunk house" with 4 motel-style units for non-RVers or as overflow. There is also a shaded tent area. Horse lovers can stable their horses in a covered facility at one end of the park and have their RV's close by. This is an undiscovered gem of a park. Call ahead just in case - they are becoming known. If you like ice cream, the owners serve it for $1.00 a bowl each evening as folks sit on the wrap-around porch and talk about their day. A most pleasant experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

While being a very convenient location for visiting the many tourist attractions this area has to offer, this campground is outstanding more for the sincere warmth and hospitality of the park’s owners. From the large level sites with full-hookups, the free WiFi, the clean laundry, restroom and shower facilities to the nightly ice cream socials, you truly can’t ask for much more from an RV park…..not to mention the gorgeous sunsets. Don’t let the “Horse” part of this campground put you off either…..the horses are located in a completely separate location and you barely even notice they are there. Plan on spending plenty of time in this area because there are many things to see and the RV park is a great place to take a break, sit back and just relax a bit. We will definitely visit this park again if we find ourselves back in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Broken Arrow is a new 2007 RV and Horse campground. The horse’s are in an area by themselves. Owners are very friendly, will help you any way they can. They live at the park so help is 24/7. Well located park for visiting the Black Hills, it sits just north of Custer State Park. Sites are 30 ft wide and 70 ft long, all are level gravel with grass and run North and South. For sure Big Rig friendly. Every site has a new picnic table and fire pit. Hookups are conveniently located on each site. No problem with side outs or satellite signal on any site. Nice views of Black Hills and forest. Very quiet, cooler then most Black Hills parks as it’s near 6000 ft high. The sun sets awesome. They have clean rest room, showers and laundry. Also bunk house’s for those folks who travel with their horse’s but no place to sleep. WiFi works well if you have an outside antenna. If you like to hike in the Black Hills Forests there are miles of horse trails you can walk or ride on. Coming from a city life it was something else to see the stars at night. If you are looking for tent camping they have good sites set under the pine trees. We came in June of 07 and liked it so much will be staying till September. There is lots to do, swimming or boating in 4 lakes with in 10 miles, visiting attractions, train rides,shopping, you name it the Black Hills has it. This is our first visit to the Black Hills and as you can tell we love it. We are new to full time RV-ing and will visit this park again. We have a 39 foot Fifth Wheel and 23 foot truck. We are paying a monthly fee of $450.00 plus tax. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The interior roads were very narrow and winding. The sites were narrow, not level, and had many low hanging branches on the trees. We had to back out of the first site because to do otherwise would have damaged our satellite and air conditioners. We asked to be moved to a different site and the one offered was short, not level, and right next to the road and the office. We refused to stay there and asked for and received a refund and went to a different campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed on the top level, and if you are planning on staying there in a motor home, ask for the top level. Behind the office/giftshop, the lower roads are very curvy and have ruts. The roads are badly in need of work. As long as we could stay on the top level, we might stay there again. During the summer heat it would be brutal because there is no shade on the top level.

Adjacent to the highway only a mile north of Custer, this is a reasonably nice park with clean facilities and a small "convenience store". However, there were issues. There are a handful of pull-throughs (all taken when we were there), but otherwise the layout is very tight for anything over a medium size rig. Small spaces are served by narrow, confusing & unmarked dirt pathways winding tightly through trees that are much too close to the "roads". We had pre-reserved two nights plus one of their advertised rental cars for sightseeing, but the car turned out to be "not available" when we arrived. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very pretty campground nestled with most sites deep in the pine trees. Some are in the open right along Hwy.16/385 and these would not be the best spots. The really big downside is the narrow inner roads and very narrow sites. The Woodalls said typical width 30'. Mine was more like 21 and I didn't see any that would have been 30'. I was in a 39' 5th wheel and was at their "large pull thru with 50 amp." We were sandwiched in pretty tight when our section was full. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a wonderful campground for our family. We stayed five nights with two small children and we all enjoyed our stay. The restrooms were very clean. The showers were hot, except one day (we slept in and my wife tried showering about 10 am). The campsites were clean. The host and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The playground was well maintained and there were evening naturalist talks in the campground. We were very convenient to all the parks, sites, and the Town of Custer. The only thing keeping it from being a 10 is the lake of water at each site. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

It is a beautiful campground full of big pine trees, very close to the town of Custer and easy access to all of Custer State Park. It is not lakefront, but Stockade Lake is a short walk away. The fishing in the lake was pretty good. While the road through the campground is paved, the driveways and pads are dirt, and our site required considerable leveling. Also, accessing the site via backing up our trailer was a bit of a tight fit, but we made it. Once set up though, it is extremely beautiful and quiet. There is lots of room between sites, and the shower building was kept very clean. There is only electricity at the sites, but there is abundant water through the campground, including a faucet on the shower building that you can pull up to and refill your fresh tank, if you so choose (note that you can pull or drive your rig with an empty fresh tank and fill it when you get there using this faucet). There is a dump station behind the Cenex station in Custer, maybe a 5 minute drive away. Dumping is free if you fill up with gas, otherwise it would be $3.00. This is a perfect place to use as your base camp for exploring the Black Hills! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground was recently changed to a reservable sites. Lots of open space between sites. There are no signs in the campground indicating where the sites are. So we drove in and had to walk around to find our site. Then we had to turn the rig around to head in the correct direction. We were in site 5E. With a 35' 5th wheel, maneuvering was tight. The sights at the bottom by the restroom are more open for big rigs. The water spigot nearby didn't work so water had to be accessed from restroom area. Very family friendly campground.

Campground is built on side of hill, so most sites are tiered or terraced into hillside. Difficult to get into site (2E), had to back in from side. Only a couple of sites appeared to be easy to get into (14E-20E). Cabins also nearby, causes more users for single restrooms & showers. Close to the town of Custer on western side of Custer State Park. Wi-Fi is available at lodges in state park. Host friendly & helpful. Park was full but quiet. All sites shaded by tall Ponderosa Pines. Similar to Stockade North campground on other side of lake. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

One of the nicest state parks we have stayed at. Easy back-in to our huge site with a backyard where the bison and big-horned sheep roamed. We had a paved pad with lots of grass around. No problem with satellite reception in the row our site was in. It was heavily treed down by the creek though. Very nice shower houses which were spotlessly cleaned daily. You could have eaten off the floor! A beautiful lodge located right next door with an excellent fine-dining restaurant. We would have liked to stay longer, but all sites were reserved for the weekend. Very comfortable and relaxing: we would definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I echo the other comments. This is one of the top State Park campgrounds ever, in our experience. Make sure to spend at least a week to take in the local sights. Stay away from the first week in August unless you own a motorcycle! Overall, very clean, well laid out with lots of room and shade. You can do all booking on the Internet and it all works. We will be back again, just not the first week of August though! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Beautiful State Park with lots to see and do. Wide strips of grass in between sites with plenty of room for awnings and slides. 30/50 Amp service and never encountered problems with a full campground. There are sites along the creek but they appear to be for tents, tent trailers or small C-Class. We were in E-18 and were able to get a signal for our dome satellite. No cell or Aircard reception (Verizon) except at the park entrance. This is a large state park and there are lots of very nice campgrounds scattered through out the park. Center Lake campground is first come and there are sites for tents and rv’s, although this campground isn’t big rig friendly. We’re 38’ and we saw a few sites that would have worked. The only reason I mention this campground is that there was hardly anyone there on Sat. There are four lodges within the park that offer dining, and they have gift shops inside. There is a grocery store within the park too. Great wildlife loop that was very enjoyable and we saw turkeys, deer, pronghorns prairie dogs and buffalo. On the 16A heading towards Mt. Rushmore we encountered wild burros that were begging carrots and apples from park visitors. Park brochure (pdf): http://www.sdgfp.info/Publications/Parks/Tatanka.pdf Campground Maps (pdf) http://www.sdgfp.info/Parks/CampMaps/CusterSP.pdf The price of the campsite does not reflect the park pass that you need. I think it was around $18.00 (rv & toad) for 7 days and if that’s not correct hopefully someone will correct me in the next review. There are a number of picnic grounds and lakes to wet your line. We would love to return and spend a week next time We camped here in a Motorhome.

Mountain goats and deer were all around. I could see newly stocked brook trout in the stream from my trailer window. I caught one of the biggest brown trout of my life at 24" in the campground pond. Plenty of 15" plus rainbows as well. Cleanest vault toilets ever. Very quiet. Wood available at the registration kiosk. Bike/hike trail connects the campground. Campground at the north entrance of the Custer Wildlife loop where buffalo and pronghorns abound. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent state park. One of the best we have stayed at. We were here for 7 days. The last night the Buffalo came right down to the field just outside our trailer. There are lots of things to do while in the Park. I would recommed a 1/2 day horse ride out of the Blue Bell lodge. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We reserved our site online with no problems. Online site is very helpful as you can view the site and the informations for each such as full sun, shade, length of site. We found this very helpful. The bathrooms were immaculate. Outside the fence surrounding the campground was a herd of roaming buffalo. This state park is awesome with so many beautiful areas to tour and the animal life is wonderful. 1 of our tour days we encountered the 2 separate herds of wild begging burros who LOVE junk food. We were in CSP for 7 days and used it as a base to tour the Wild Horse Sanctuary,surrounding towns. Would return in a heartbeat.There are informational shows in the barn however we were too busy touring around to attend any. If you go allow enough time to truly enjoy this park and the surrounding areas. The only reason a 9 is no full hookups. There is a dump station with water if you run low. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Love this park!!!! This is a free roam park, meaning that you might open your door and see a buffalo staring at you as we did!! The "wildlife Loop" is awesome!! The loop takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an entire day (depending on animal activity). There are buffalo, burro, turkey, deer, badgers, creeks, lakes and hiking trails through the entire 71,000 acres!!!! We will be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Located in Custer State Park, sites range from full sun to full shade, tent sites to 51' long sites. Web site has a picture of each site. Site 8E was fully shaded and more than adequate for our 35' fifth wheel. Buffalo, deer and mountain sheep roamed through campground. Bike path and 2 fishing ponds very close. Convenient to activities in park plus Mt. Rushmore, Custer, caves, scenic drives, etc. 1 mile to general store. Small and quiet. Tent sites are across road in heavily wooded area. Sites can be reserved on line. Cost is $15 + $4 for electric. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed here before and liked it, but this time we were disappointed. At check in, the owner acted like we were a big interruption to what he was doing and it didn't make us feel welcome. Got to our site and it was covered with small pieces of trash, i.e. butts, paper pieces, paper clips, broken pencils, screws, pop-tops from cans, and lots of pieces of wood as if someone had been chopping logs. I went and asked a work kamper lady for a rake. She asked why, I told her, and she got really belligerent and insisted that she had just cleaned it! I raked and filled up a bucket with trash and then she came up and "could not believe it". She said she would come back with a leaf rake, but never did. Along that same note, the next day three RVs on either side of us checked out and none of those sites were touched. They had butts and full fire pits. Other than that work kamper, we like this park as it is quiet, with decent sized spaces, and some shade during the day. We scouted other parks while there and we will probably try another park next time for a week, but might return another time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate quoted was with Good Sam discount. An excellent campground in a great location: close to the Black Hills attractions and close to the town of Custer. Very quiet, even though full to near-capacity for the Labor Day weekend. It should be noted that the laundry is cold water only. An on-demand water heater would be a big improvement. Wi-Fi worked well even though we were near the far end of the park. Distance between sites is about 20 feet or less. The person who checked us in was knowledgeable, but the Work-Camper we spoke to the following day was clueless about both the RV park and about the surrounding area. We would stay here again.

There was a lot more room to bring in the bigger RVs and a lot of space between sites: this didn't seem to be true for a lot of other places we looked at in Custer. I loved this location for its proximity to Custer State Park. This RV park was also tent friendly. We camped here in a Tent.

This is a very nice park for a base camp: you are in the middle of the Black Hills and can see all the sights and not have to travel very far in any direction. We were at the top of the hill in site 26 which was a nice site but hard to back the trailer into. Campsites are set at 90-degree angles to the road. Wildlife roam through the campground: we had turkeys every morning, deer, mule deer. The utilities are set at the back of the site: if you have a sewer hookup mid-way or towards the front of the trailer, then bring a second section of hose. The Wi-Fi was iffi: worked well if you took your computer to the reception center or laundry. There is a paved bike trail at the entrance of the park so you can jog or ride in either direction. There is no pool or playground for kids. The park leans more towards older adults. Overall it's a very nice place to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites were wide and level with lots of room for trailer and tow vehicle. The campground is well off the road so it was quiet. Excellent water pressure and no problems with power or sewer. Campground was well maintained and staff was friendly. We asked for a site with good Wi-Fi reception and had good line of site to the tower but we still had trouble about a third of the time. The fire pit was on a side hill so when we had a fire it was hard to get close and not be leaning. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a small campground. It is tucked in a meadow with both open areas and shaded areas. The sites are large, neat and clean. The staff is very helpful and willing to please. Our site had shore power problems and they moved us to an equal or better site. There is no pool, so there isn't much to do for children. If you're looking for a quiet, well maintained campground close to the sites of Mt. Rushmore this is the place to stay. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Each access from US16A a few miles east of Custer and a couple miles west of Custer State Park entrance. RV park has a half mile gravel road to entrance, so the park is off the highway. Road noise is not a problem. Interior road and sites are gravel with grass between the sites. Sites are a good distance apart, so you don't fell like you're on top of your neighbor. Each site has 50 amp, water, and sewer with a picnic table and fire ring. Firewood is available at the office. Sites on the east side of park generally have some small shade trees. Sites on west side of park generally don't have any trees. Park has Wi-Fi, but sometimes spotty reception, if you are a distance from the centralized office. Satellite TV and Verizon air card & phone worked great. Roy in the office was very personable and helpful. We stayed a week with 1 night free. Parked averaged about 70% full during our stay.

Very nice RV Park between the town of Custer and the western entrance to Custer State Park. It has well packed dirt interior roads, and nice, big level sites on gravel, with a grass lawn area in front of each site. Surrounding pine trees give it that "woodsy" feel, but there could be more trees actually in the campground. It was sort of open. We have a small (23') travel trailer, and felt somewhat overwhelmed with the number of big rigs that were here, but we have found that is typical of an RV park versus a public campground. Still, we weren't the only smaller unit, and everyone was very friendly, regardless how big or small their rigs were. The hosts were very nice and helpful. I'd highly recommend this park, especially if you prefer the full facilities of an RV park over a public campground, as a great base camp for exploring the Black Hills. If you like public campgrounds with at least electrical hook-ups, check out our review of Custer State Park, Stockade Lake North campground, which is just down the road and actually in Custer State Park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for a week over the 4th of July and we loved it. We had a 50 amp /full hook-up site which we had to back into. It was well-graveled with plenty of grass separating us from our neighbors. Level site with good location for services. No cable and definitely no AT&T cell phone signals. Wi-Fi in the club house. Nice people in the office. They charge $10 if you want to wash your RV and $5 to wash your car. Worth the money. Very close to the entrance to Custer State Park. Town of Custer is close by and it has a nice grocery and several hardware stores. Very quiet at night. Seemed to be always full to capacity. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a quiet campground with fantastic owners and hosts. We made reservations on-line back in January and arrived late Monday after the July 4th week-end. The campground did not have our reservation and was completely booked. Owners were very apologetic and accommodating. Put us up in the grass overnight and moved us to a site in the back the next day as well as compensating us with a credit for the inconvenience. Campground is somewhat secluded off the main road with large sites, right next to Custer State Park and convenient to all the attractions. It does not have many amenities for children which makes it nice for those who just want a peaceful relaxed atmosphere. Wi-Fi and TV reception at the site were not good but we were able to go to the clubhouse and log on there. Rest rooms and laundry facility were spotless. Owner checks and cleans all vacant sites daily. Plenty of wildlife in the area. Saw deer in the campground several times. We checked out the other campgrounds in the area and felt this was by far the best. I would highly recommend it and am looking forward to returning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I called ahead and made reservations with Elaine for 8 nights nine days which allowed us the one night free. Upon arrival we were greeted by Elaine and her husband, the owners. In a nutshell this is one of the nicest RV campground we have stayed at, it was wonderful. The spaces are huge, the area is grand and its quiet as a pin there. The location was perfect, we had deer in the yard daily and our RV spot backed up the a wildlife area. We were one half mile from the entrance to Custer State Park and perhaps a mile to town. We travel in a 40 foot motorhome, the people next to us were traveling in 45 foot motorhome and had plenty of room left over in their spot. The grounds are very well maintained and park laid out very nice. We already have plans to return next summer. Wi-Fi reception was good, we had a fire ring and view of the pond.

This park has long, level spacious sites. No problem there. They need better directions from I-90. I had to call twice and they said everyone gets confused so it wasn't just me. The sign at the entrance could use a "turn here" added to it. It's hard to decide if they mean "right at this driveway" or the next one. The Wi-Fi may work at the office but didn't at our site. We do not have satellite and cannot get any TV reception. There are only two showers and two commodes for the whole park; also, only two washers and dryers. I based my rating on no pool and these other inconveniences but I'd stay again, especially considering the other parks I've seen in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Also, it's only 1/4 mile from the highway so it's very quiet-and dark at night to star-gaze!. Really convienent to the neat town of Custer and only a mile to the west entrance to Custer State Park (a must place to visit).

This park is convenient to most major attractions in South Dakota and the Black Hills. Operators are super friendly and helpful and checked to make sure our visit was all it could be.

Very busy during Sturgis Bike Rally, however, campground was very quiet. Far enough off of the road to not hear any noise. Some sites along the west side have good shade, but you won't have WIFI because of the distance from the antenna. Good laundry, showers. No other amenities, but didn't want to pay for things I don't use. Hosts were great and felt very safe and comfortable.

Rate was for 4 adults. Sites were very roomy. We had a site in the back of the park. Good view down "gulch" of forest walls and hills. Good level gravel site with spotty grass. Wi-fi did not work at back of park. Bathrooms were well kept but could use upgrading. Great location right outside West entrance to Custer SP and just outside of the town of Custer. Easy drives to all Black Hills attractions without driving the same road over and over again. Good 4th of July fireworks show in Custer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very pleasant campground. Quiet, convenient access to area locations, fairly nice view, with plenty of hills and rocks for the kids to wear off their energy. Staff is very nice, and they keep the CG well maintained. Nice picnic tables and nice fire pits. Wi-fi was fairly good about 10 sites away from the office, but probably sites further away would not have good access. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice quiet little park right next to Custer State Park. Very helpful staff that keep it well maintained. Good cafe right across the highway. Lot's of wildlife in the area to watch that sometimes come right into the park for fresh grass and water. There is a small pond in the middle of the park. Sites are long and roomy. Verizon wireless works good. Campfire rings at most site with firewood available at the office. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As full time RVers we found the campground to be exactly what we like - no pool, no hot tub, no playground, no game room - just a clean, quiet, nicely kept RV park with huge sites. The pull thrus and back in sites are all 75 - 100 feet long with about 50 feet between them. No large trees to block satellite reception but plenty of lush, green grass, a nice pond in the center, and great views of the surrounding mountains. Free WiFi that works well. Campground hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area attractions. The west gate to Custer State Park is only ¼ mile away. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great park to use to see all the area attractions. It is quiet and there are lots of deer and wild turkey around in the evenings. The camp host are friendly and we really enjoyed the surroundings. The wi-fi works great as long as you are at the front of the park. If you let them know ahead of time that you want wi-fi, they will put you near the front of the park. There is no pool or cable TV, but we would definitely stay here again. Your views are wonderful of trees, hills and wildlife. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park to stay at for visits to the Mount Rushmore area. Very friendly folks who keep
control of the park environment. They are G/S and other discount-friendly and have weekly and monthly rates. Well off the road so it is quiet, even during Sturgis Bike Rally Weeks. Convenient to all the Custer State Park sights with all the important hookups. Only 3 years old and very well kept. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in summer 2003 with our 5th wheel. Nice place. Pretty spendy though for not
having any amenities to really speak of. But the park hosts were really friendly and made you feel good coming "home" every day. I would stay again, but probably as second choice for the area. No laundry facility on site. Gravel roads and spaces. Grass and trees were great. Killer flies. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed at this campground because we thought it would have appeal to the kids. While some of the staff were very friendly (a workamper couple that checked us in were very nice), some were not. One helper shooed me out of the office while she was on the phone because I had my dog in my hand, and I just wanted change for a dollar for the laundry facility. The place needed a lot of repair, but that wasn't the helpers' fault. Their WIFI was not reliable - and signal strength was very iffy from our site. Many of the guests were families with tents or popups that didn't watch their children. We had an ok stay here, but there were other campgrounds closer to attractions we should have considered. The pool was nice and everything was maintained, restrooms clean, by the workampers. However, someone's little boy had flooded the Men's bathroom toilet with rocks when we first arrived. Also, some policies like animals on leashes were not enforced, causing our neighbor's dog to eliminate on our site. We have children and dogs also, but when you don't act accordingly, you give RV'ers a bad name. Overall, this CG is just worn out and needs some owner TLC. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a lovely RV park that feels more like a state park setting. Lots of trees to provide shade and the facilities are spotless. Checkin was handled by a very nice and helpful lady. We hadn't been to our campsite 10 minutes before we noticed a bunch of turkeys walking through the campsite next to us. The Wi-Fi works very well and the cable TV has a large selection of channels.

The interior roads and sites are gravel. The park is nestled in a forest and we were unable to use our awning due to the pine trees. Ours and most of the other sites are not level. We needed to use all 50 of my Lynx levelers to level our 5th wheel. Rest rooms and showers were very clean most of the time. Power and water were stable and constant. Local grocery prices were high, so we will probably stay somewhere closer to Rapid City next time we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Well located park for visiting area attractions. Campground hosts were friendly. Campground is right off a main road and some sites back up very closely to the road. Our site just happened to be one that was close to the road. We had requested a level site as we wanted to take the truck camper off the truck during our stay. The site wasn't very level -- others in the campground would have suited us better. We liked them so much we extended our stay at the campground rather than move to another campground in the northern Black Hills as we had originally planned. Overall, we were satisfied with the campground and would stay there again -- provided it was in May before the summer rush started. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

This is a beautiful park located just a mile from Custer and very near Custer State Park. It's in a beautiful setting - very quiet and remote-feeling, yet close enough to attractions to be convenient. The owner and his wife are experienced RV park operators and do an excellent job. They provided great customer service and went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant stay. The only negative was that the WiFi service was sporadic, but I believe this was due to a problem with the ISP rather than the actual WiFi setup at the park. We were here for 8 days and would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I would call the interior raods and camping spaces in this campground rustic. Although "big rig spaces" are offered, there are very few that you can actually fit a big rig into becasue of the trees, especially if you have multiple slides. Although the parking spots are relatively level, there are few spots where the picnic area is level. Ours was so unlevel we couldn't sit at the picnic table nor in our lounge chairs outside. It seems that fill dirt may have been added to level the spot so there was a gulley that ran around the bottom of the entire parking space making it necessary to hop from out bottom step to keep from stepping off into a hole. The park advertises wi-fi but most spaces are too far away from the office and there are too many trees to receive it. Only the closest spots to the office receive wi-fi. Addtionally, the front of our space was about 10 ft off the main road. There are very few really nice, level spots that are close to the office that we would have loved, but those are always booked well in advance. The office staff was exceptionally nice and helpful but I would not recommend this campground unless you plan to stay "camper bound" while there. We jokingly re-named this campground "FortWeHateIt". We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a new park opened in 2003. Gravel sites that are fairly level. Some are small, but they still are working on the property. Cable TV and WiFi are planned for 2004. Certainly would stay there again. Tall pine trees. The water has iron in it, which is typical for the area, so be careful doing laundry. Very nice clean bathouse and laundry. Friendly folks in a great area with lots to do and see. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is sort of a pocket park, tucked away behind the main drag of Custer. The location in town and the Black Hills, the Passport America rate ($14 FHU but only 2 nights), and strong ,free wifi are its best features. And then there's the unique owner, Rock,who is entertainment by himself. Big rigs will have a tight fit and some of the hookups are in odd places. Sites fairly level, not much shade, but grassy areas. No laundry, no tv signal, but cell phones fine. The 2 common bathrooms are in a shack of sorts but fine inside,with nice woodwork. Mickelson bike trail runs right along park, so be sure to ride or walk it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very unique small campground. The manager had a sense of humor and made us very comfortable. They had a 4th of July BBQ. The park supplied the meat and the campers brought pot luck dishes. Great food and a great time followed up by the city fireworks show that we could watch right from the campground. They normally have a BBQ every Saturday night during the season. The sites were a little tight for our 38 foot MH, but we were able to get parked without difficulty. We will stay at this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Funny, the review right below this one recommends that you avoid the KOA that's closer to Rushmore. We stayed at this KOA because we couldn't extend our stay at the Hill City Rushmore KOA. That KOA is huge but we really preferred it over this much smaller KOA. Oh, don't get me wrong, this KOA is fine. It's a much quieter park but seemed geared more towards the senior campers rather than 30-something people. The staff is for the most part friendly. There are a few who are edgy and don't seem to like the younger people. The guy who drives around in the golf cart and escorts you to your site is extremely nice and very accommodating. We just felt the whole time we were there that we were being scrutinized. Even scared to death our dogs might bark as they don't seem to tolerate dogs well. The roads into the site are a bit worn and the sites themselves are nothing fancy...ours was even fairly unleveled. Laundry facility was decent. We didn't try any of the other amenities so can't comment on them. This KOA is outside Custer and really on the southern end of the Black Hills area. If you are looking for a base camp to explore the Black HIlls, there are probably better choices. If you are camping with children, there are probably better choices as well. But this park is quiet and clean, and I believe well maintained. We would stay here again, but it would be because we couldn't find anything else. We camped here in a Motorhome.

About 20 mins to Mt. Rushmore. There is a closer KOA to Mt. Rushmore but don't bother to go there. IT IS HUGE and you get lost in the big shuffle. I will take this laid back KOA any day. The people here (most of them) are very nice and personable. The one guy was very nice and offered "anything you need, just ask me" service. There are some older folks working here, some are as nice as pie, others can be grumpy and down right confusing. I will take them any day over the youngins that work at most KOA's. Sites are good and are constantly maintained...A + all the way on that. There are a lot of rabbits running around the park...little ones, big ones, they do not let you pet them but they will get within an inch of you and let you feed them...very cute.

This park is clean, has friendly helpful staff. Pool is a bit small. They are located nicely for many attractions. The sites were somewhat close but livable. The laundry had a broken dryer which irritated some campers and there was a problem with the sewer system where we could not use the sewer for a half day. They were quick to fix the sewer though and informed us timely. Having a firepit was nice. They do not seem to tolerate barking dogs well, no matter the size so luckily ours were quiet.

The reviewer who mentioned deluxe concrete sites with wrought iron furniture must have been describing the Hill City KOA. This place has dusty gravel roads and gravel sites, some not very level. There are tall pines surrounding the park and scattered throughout the park, but shade is not plentiful. Campground brochure mentions PBS and major network TV, but we were only able to get a blurry FOX channel; other campers reported same. Good Verizon and AT&T cell phone signals. Lots of pull throughs, full hookup is only $3 more than water & electric site. Dump station is on an incline. Good laundry facility. Pool is quieter and less crazy than the neighboring campground to the west. Fairly typical commercial campground spacing. Mostly overnighters, with a few people staying a few days while touring the area. There are good restaurants in Custer including Purple Pie Place ice cream shop & restaurant, and Bavarian Inn Restaurant. There is a chuck wagon breakfast on KOA grounds. Staff is friendly and helpful. Propane is sold by the tank size rather than by the gallon, which I believe is deceptive and dishonest and should be illegal. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Small, quiet, clean, beautiful location. Hosts are very nice and accomodating. Rates are very reasonable, $14/night, plus $2 for each hookup. Shady sites surrounded by pine trees- great views! Not sure how big of a rig can fit to these sites, but when we were there, a couple of 30-40 ft. class A's drove by on their way from their campsite. Campground is very close to Custer State Park (about 2 miles west) and the city of Custer (about 2 miles east) and makes a great base camp for exploring the area! I'd recommend The Roost to anyone! We camped here in a camper.
