Gravel pads, grass between sites, and a wooded buffer behind each rig set the tone at Custers Gulch RV Park in Custer, South Dakota. The park sits far enough off the highway that road noise drops away, and the layout divides into two distinct sections: a quieter original area toward the back and a more open stretch near the entrance that handles larger coaches. The campground runs from May 15 through October 14 and accepts rigs up to 75 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer.
Site quality and cleanliness come up consistently across reviews. Sites are level, spaced generously, and back up to forested areas rather than neighboring rigs. The bathhouse and laundry facilities are well maintained, and a clubhouse is available for group use. Firewood is sold on-site, though one reviewer noted bundles run small for the price, so campers who plan on extended fires should budget accordingly. The water draws from a well and may appear slightly discolored, though Julian B. notes it "tasted fine, hey its well water and it's camping." Pets are not permitted.
The location works well as a base for the surrounding region. Custer State Park is close by, with Stockade South Campground — Custer State Park and Stockade Lake within easy reach for swimming and kayaking. Crazy Horse Memorial and Mount Rushmore are both within a short drive. Campers comparing campgrounds around Custer will find this park well-suited to RV travelers who want hookups, low noise, and proximity to the Black Hills without sacrificing site separation.
