    Conveniently located in the heart of the beautiful Black Hills. Only six miles south of Deadwood, South Dakota on Highway 385, with an altitude of 5,500 feet. A great place to use as a hub and plan day trips throughout the hills. A beautiful place to camp in spacious sites, while enjoying the tall, majestic pines and babbling brooks (Bear Butte and Strawberry Creeks).

    We are inspected annually by AAA, Good Sam's, and Woodall's.

    Come check out our new covered deck.

    Enjoy an ice cold beer and a tasty burger, or one of our other great sandwiches.

    Echo Valley Park Campground

    Hidden gem

    Great campsite nestled in the hills. Conveniently located near Crazy Horse monument (literally, you can see Crazy Horse from the campground; see attached photos), and less than 20 miles from Mount Rushmore. You can access Mickelson Bike Trail from the property. Also, has many hiking and walking trails for your use. Fresh artesian water. The water was delicious! We were tenting and the ground was perfect for setup. Echo Valley campground has the option for dry site, water site, electric site, or water and electric site, for all travelers whether tent, RV, or camper. Has a shower house with bathrooms, and washer/dryer setup. Washer/dryer were out of order when we were there. Shower house has antiquated controls. We think owner is working on updating everything because bathrooms had new sinks and toilets (at least the women’s did; men’s had new sinks). Assuming it was the owner who checked us in, on a Friday late afternoon. He was humorous, gregarious, and welcoming. Welcoming to pets. During our two night stay almost every other camper had pets. Our only complaint was we couldn’t have a fire because the whole area was on an extreme fire danger risk. Not the sites fault, but that was our only real complaint

    On a final note: if you want to stay at a modern site, with all the amenities and distractions, Echo Valley is not for you. This campsite was serene, beautiful, peaceful. There was enough access to the local environment, you didn’t need to go see the local sites to remain engaged and entertained.

    Nicely tucked away spot

    We stayed one evening when traveling thru. Had a hard time finding a spot open (and with bathrooms) after October 1st! Called ahead to confirm and Matthew was very helpful answering questions and confirming availability before making other travel plans. Park had a pub to eat and watch some football.

    Worst campground ever

    The lots are so small you can’t open your awning. Limited sewer locations, coin operated showers with low water pressure and no hot water, front desk is useless and owner care only about the dollars they can take you for. Go to one of the other campgrounds around Sturgis.

    It’s okay

    Was not sure driving in but old mate running the show was funny and friendly. Showers were interesting but all plumbing in US is weird and inconsistent about how you operate it. Laundry was out of action. I think this guy running the show is trying very hard, he’s too cheap ($45) so always chasing his tail. Real close to crazy horse so nothing really to complain about. Wish him the best.

    Great place near a lot of stuff

    Don't judge this place when you first drive up. The sites are quite level. The staff are very friendly. Sites get nice morning sun, but ample shade in the evening. The laundry room was very clean and up to date. It's very quiet. There is a nice Rainbow brand play set for the kids.

    It's a convenient, central location for a lot of activities.

    Great campground perfect location to Custer and surrounding areas

    We will be back. We stayed in a wooded lot up top in the park. The bathrooms were well maintained. We really enjoyed the location to all the area attractions.

    We arrived on Labor Day and were very disappointed that the pool was closed. Despite what there website states the pool closes on Labor Day. Management did make it right by us though and we got to enjoy a local pool in close proximity.

    All and all we will be back to the area and we will plan to stay here again.

    Great place to stay

    We stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. Everything is clean and the site we stayed at was located under trees with lots of distance to the next neighbors. On the site you can hear some of the traffic from the highway but that is still acceptable. We would always come back here again.

    Remodeled Campground

    This campground has recently been remodeled with all new pads, electric and water. Only a couple miles to the west entrance of Custer SP. 3.5 miles from Custer. Owner and staff all extremely nice and helpful. Nice camp store. Had a hot air balloon land in the field next to us one morning!

    Pleasant staff, centrally located to area attractions

    Nice layout. FHU at $32 + tax is reasonable for area. 3 or 4 miles north of Custer SD

    Laundry available Showers also - probably for tent sites

    Fairly close to highway-but by sleep time there was not much activity

    Did not use facilities. Did not use their WiFi nor deploy Starlink as Verizon coverage is excellent

    Tyler, Johnny, are great hard working young men. We  are forever grateful for their help. We will be customers for future trips. The campgrounds are awesome. Clean, well maintained. The food is excellent, our servers were very nice, friendly and just very good at their jobs. They are a work in process, but it’s coming along great. You won’t go wrong staying at WILD BILLS CAMPGROUNDS. THANKS AGAIN from Chico and Lynn.

    Rocky Point Recreation Area

    Nice spacious sites

    Being charged $6 or $7 as a reservation fee is a tad excessive when you’re paying $28 for electric only site. Drop-toilets available. Dump station and potable water

    If you can boondock, plenty sites on opposite side of lake ( see Belle Fourche Dam & Reservoir, and it’s free)

    Ground was so parched-grass do dry that it hurts pooch to w as ok on it

    Overall, a nice peaceful place. Well maintained, friendly staff

    Upon arrival as l, previous camper left his crap in the fire ring

    Enormous KOA

    Stayed 7-30-24

    If you like KOAs, you will love this place. Big, super clean and nice, all you can eat pancakes for $3.50 and play grounds for the kids (big kids also)

    If you don't like KOAs because you want to camp by a quiet lake back 20 miles back on a dirt road, that's great but you don't want to stay here.

    I loved everything about this spot!

    I feel lucky to have scooped up two nights last minute. The camp hosts were wonderful, the lake was beautiful, and the campers were quiet and respectful. I was blown away by the bathrooms and showers. They were spotless and dry…seriously I’ve never seen camp bath houses so clean! They had a big floor fan to keep the moisture down too. I highly recommend this campground! The camp host also told me of the spot across from me being open for the next night so I could move there and spend an extra night!

    Great spot close to all attractions

    Great location for Custer and surrounding area and good value. Site was a little small with fire pit set on a bank so not ideal to sit around. Not a problem for us as we spent most of the time touring the area. Picnic table was rotten so we were unable to use it, again not a problem for us. We took a bike ride down into the valley, it is very beautiful.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Custer Crazy Horse Campground and visiting the Cabin 13 Coffee Shop, and I must say, both experiences were exceptional. The Custer Crazy Horse Campground is a gem for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty of South Dakota. The campground is well-maintained, with clean facilities and spacious sites that cater to both RVs and tents. The serene environment and stunning views of the Black Hills made for a relaxing and memorable stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and papa's games accommodating, ensuring that all our needs were met. The location is perfect for exploring the nearby attractions, including the Crazy Horse Memorial and Custer State Park.

    Amazing Location & Excellent Hosts

    The Bearded Buffalo Resort is still under construction as of July 1, 2024 but let me tell you, it is in a GREAT location, it’s going to be amazing when finished (actually, it already is!) and the owners are just wonderful! We were taken care of from beginning to end of our stay. The campsite was in such a pretty setting - we were close to town but also felt like we could enjoy a little nature. We saw deer just behind the campground both days of our stay.

    Located a short drive from Downtown Custer, easy drive to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park and Sylvan Lake. Would absolutely stay here again!

Guide to Whitewood

Camping near Whitewood, South Dakota, offers a mix of beautiful scenery and fun activities for everyone. Whether you're pitching a tent or rolling in with an RV, there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.

What to do:

  • Explore Spearfish Canyon: This stunning area is perfect for hiking and enjoying nature. One camper mentioned, “Good camper ground in Spearfish, plenty to go and see but sites are close,” highlighting the area's accessibility to outdoor adventures.
  • Visit Historic Downtown Spearfish: Just a short drive away, this charming town has shops and restaurants. A reviewer noted, “Very close to historic downtown Spearfish! The staff was super helpful and sweet,” making it a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring.

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained restrooms and showers. A visitor at Chris' Campground remarked, “The showers are clean, the laundry is convenient, everything you could want whether you are in a tent or a 5th wheeler.”

  • Friendly Staff: Campers often mention helpful staff. At Days End Campground, one guest said, “Very friendly staff! Wifi is fair at best.”

What you should know:

  • Site Proximity: Some campgrounds have sites that are closer together than others. A camper at Spearfish City Campground noted, “Sites are closer than the worst KOA,” so if privacy is important, check the layout before booking.
  • Limited Amenities: Not all campgrounds have full amenities. For example, Pactola Reservoir Campground has no electric hookups or showers, which some campers found inconvenient.
  • Seasonal Availability: Many campgrounds are only open during certain months. For instance, Sheridan Lake South Shore Campground operates from mid-May to late August, so plan your trip accordingly.

  • Level Sites: Look for campgrounds with level sites to make parking easier. A reviewer at Sheridan Lake South Shore Campground said, “The camp sites were very spread out and decently flat for tent camping,” which is also beneficial for RVs.
