"Campground Review:
The Stockade Lake North Campground is located just inside the west entrance to Custer State Park in Custer, South Dakota."

GuideNot only is this state campground cheaper than other RV parks in the area, it is just a nice park. Bathrooms and showers are clean. Camp hosts are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
GuideOverall this would be a nice place to stay for a couple days if it’s not turned into a ginormous mud puddle after some rain. There’s dog poop left on sites, the showers are filthy due to ventilation not working properly and the “cells”, as I like to call them now, are not being kept with an open door between people showering, to let the tiny room vent. The walls, bench and ceilings are vet, dripping down on you while you get undressed/dressed. There’s mold in every crevice and the bench, which I’m assuming is there for you to place your items, is soaked so you’ll end up having to either get your stuff wet or dry with whatever you can find before placing your items down. The door is dripping wet also, so if you think of hanging up your towels… they’ll be pre soaked before you dry off. Some sites aren’t covered in gravel much, so you’ll be stepping in lots of mud puddles, trying to get in and out your rig. They’re doing some construction right now, not sure if they’ll fix the shower situation.
GuideRoad follows a creek with plenty of easily accessible spots.
GuideThe location by the road has a pull-through and could fit a decent size camper. Get there early as it's taken most nights . The road leading up the hill has been washed out, but I was able to make it up and down relatively easy with a 2wd Tacoma. I filled in some of the worst holes to help. Top spot has an amazing view and rock fire pit.
GuideNever saw a cattle guard (bridge)or wire gap like in photo.. road had lots of muddy pot hole going in .. has deep cut ruts.. all time 4x4.. made it thought.. Drove right to it.. slant, has fire pit but did not use it..
RangerI enjoyed a few days up here. Really pretty mountain views, easy roads and the trees are spread out enough for solar/starlink. Be prepared for some snow, even in late May. I didn't see any obvious campsites, but lots of level areas to choose from.
