Best Campground in Custer area

If you plan to visit the Black Hills and the Custer State Park/Mt.Rushmore/Crazy Horse area and are planning to camp, be sure to inclue Big Pine Campground as part of your itinerary. It%26#39;s located just a mile or two west of town on the north side of the highway. This is a great place if you want peace, quiet and shade. My husband and I tent camped here for 2 nights last year and my dad and I stayed here back in 1997. The tent area is toward the back and separate from the RV area and well away from the main road, making it very quiet. The tent sites are nice and flat and shady with fire pits and picnic tables at each site. The bathroom/shower house is a short walk down the hill although there are smaller buildings with individual flush toilets (BONUS! so they don%26#39;t smell bad like a latrine)located throughout the campground for convenience. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and the camp store is well stocked. Both times I have been here the RV areas are pretty full (the most recent time being most likely due to the fact that the biker rally in Sturgis was the following week) but the tent areas are not as crowded, making it even nicer. All in all this has to be one of the best campgrounds in all of the Black Hills!

Getting in here late w/ suggestions, but there are quite a number of campgrounds actually in the Custer area. Just a few to keep in mind include Custer%26#39;s Gulch Campground/RV Camp (east of Custer City), Beaver Lake Campground (West of Custer City), Broken Arrow Campground/Horse Camp (east/south of Custer City).
