Location, location, location!

This campground is operated by the Crazy Horse Foundation and is located just down the road from the Monument. I could watch the Monument laser light show at night from my campsite here, with binoculars! I rode my bike to the monument and saved the parking fee. Got in for $1. 

The location was perfect for me. The campground is adjacent to the Michelson Bike Trail with direct access down the hill through a gate. Michelson is a beautiful rails to trails project. The campground is also literally next to the Crazy Horse Monument and only a few miles from the town of Custer as well as close to all the other Black Hills attractions.

The staff are friendly and everything is clean and well kept. Gravel roads in are good, but the wooden bridge over the bike trail from Hwy 385 gave me pause. I was wondering what the weight limit might be... The laundry room was excellent. $2 per wash and per dry as I recall. Nice pine trees for shade, a fire pit and picnic table are provided for each site and FHU's. 

The only minor quibble perhaps is that sites are close together, at least where I was parked and the tradeoff for easy access  is highway noise. 

The good: great wifi and for full hookups $27.50/night was a steal after paying much higher prices for less services at other stops along the way. There are stables next door too if you want to ride. So much to do in this area. 

This is a great home base! I’ll definitely return.
