Ekalaka Park Campground

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Just north of Ekalaka, this free Forest Service campground sits within a small forested area on the edge of town. Sites are few but well spaced, and the campground has water and a pit toilet on-site. No pets are allowed. A 2022 visit flagged fire damage bordering the area and minimal maintenance, so conditions may have changed since earlier reports. Check with the Custer National Forest ranger district before heading out, and verify current access status if visiting during or after fire season. Campers exploring places to camp near Ekalaka will find this one of the closest options to town.
