Custer Mountain Campground
We Stayed
There! Pictures
We passed all of the Custer State Park Campgrounds because at 9pm at night, most were already full, and we are glad we did. We wound up at Custer Mountain Campground which is right next to the Black Hills National Forest.
Custer Mountain Campground was not busy, and offered us peace and quiet. All we wanted, at this point in time, was a place to stay. Well, we wound up staying 6 days. We didn't feel like campground hopping after setting up camp, and it turned out to be a good decision.
We were close to Custer, which is a cute little tourist town, and we spent more time in Custer than anywhere else. We chose tent site number 19, because it was located away from anyone else, had lots of pine trees, and as it turned out, was right below Custer Mountain which we took the time to hike one day. Here's a view of the Campground from Custer Mountain.
Custer Mountain Campground is family owned and operated, but there wasn't really what you would call a campstore there, which would have been nice. But there is a Dakotamart store in Custer which has all you need.
Custer Mountain Campground also is about 52 acres, which is a lot of space to stretch out. The tent sites are located not far from the registration office. Then we saw some RV's behind the restrooms and laundry room, but did not venture back on the other 50 acres. But there are cute cabins there, and I suspect most RV's were on the back 50 acres.
