Center Lake Campground — Custer State Park
Reviewed Aug. 30, 2020

Convenient, Quieter than Sylvan Lake

Pros:

- beautiful spot, lots of spaced out tall, skinny trees and flat platforms for tents at all sites.

- drive in

- no cell service, but there was a phone on site to be able to call and reserve a walk-in spot. 

- I'd tried Sylvan Lake first and it was full, but glad I ended up here because it felt slightly less crowded than Sylvan. 

Cons:

- given the geography, there wasn't much privacy in the form of trees from one site to the next. 

- where my site was I has to walk fairly far to the latrine, but this wouldn't have been true of all sites.

- sound traveled fairly easily, so I was awoken several times. One loud group until fairly late, around 11 PM.
