Sylvan Lake Campground — Custer State Park
Reviewed Jul. 28, 2021

Walking distance to Sylvan Lake!

This campground was really nice! We had one of the spots that was more out in the open and close to our neighbors, but the sites on the outside of the middle loop were much more private. The bathroom was super clean and the showers were individual rooms that could be locked. I really like those! 

The walk in tent sites were some of the coolest I have ever seen! There is a vault toilet at the entrance for the tent walk in sites, but it appeared that everyone was coming to the much nicer flush toilets! 

There is a trail that leads from the campground down to the lake. I highly recommend strolling along that trail early in the morning as it is so peaceful! 

The campground is also only about a mile or so away from the popular needles tunnel. You can't go wrong with this campground. I am so glad that we lucked up on a couple of nights here!
