Forested sites spread across hilly terrain at this private campground, located 1.5 miles from Custer along Highway 16. The wooded setting provides shade that many other Black Hills campgrounds lack, though sites vary considerably in size and privacy. Some campers occupy spots directly adjacent to the highway, while others find quieter locations tucked back among the trees.
The on-site Cabin 13 Coffee Shop draws campers each morning, serving smoothies and fresh coffee alongside a small convenience store stocked with forgotten camping essentials. holly C. notes "the kids loved the smoothies that they made" during her family's stay. A heated pool offers relief during summer months, though early season visitors should expect cooler water temperatures. The laundry facility stays consistently clean, and hot showers remain free for registered campers.
Staff members escort arriving campers to their assigned sites and assist with backing in larger rigs. The campground accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with full hookups, while tent campers pay $25 per night for basic sites with nearby water access. sandra B. appreciated that "owners helped with advising regarding deliveries" and even "delivered fire wood before I could return to camp."
Sites can feel cramped, particularly those numbered in the 700s where narrow spaces sit on slopes. The proximity to Highway 16 brings road noise to some areas, though most campers spend daylight hours exploring nearby attractions. Propane costs $3.50 per gallon on-site, and firewood sells for $5. The location provides convenient access to Sylvan lake campground and other Custer State Park destinations.
Reservations help secure preferred sites during peak summer months when the campground operates from mid-April through mid-October.
