Reuter Campground, located on a hillside of Ponderosa pine and grassy understory, offering a peaceful setting for guests seeking recreation and relaxation in northeastern Wyoming's Black Hills National Forest. The campground is named after Emil Reuter, a German immigrant who made his way into the canyon in 1893 and spent the rest of his life prospecting in the area.
Black Hills National Forest offers a multitude of recreational opportunites throughout all seasons. Hiking, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, and riding off-highway vehicles are popular in summer and early autumn. Winter landscapes are ideal for snowshoeing, skiing and snowmobiling. From this campground, visitors can access the Sundance Trail System from Reuter Trailhead. The secluded trails of this system weave through a network of densely forested canyons and open ridges that form the Bearlodge Mountains. Some ridge tops look out to the Custer Expedition Route, Devils Tower, and the Twin Missouri Buttes. Elk, deer and turkey are some of the more common wildlife seen along the trail. Parts of the trail system have existed since the 1800s. As routes to reliable water and the only access to some parts of the Bearlodge Mountains, they played a key role in the rich mining history of the area. The trail system is maintained for hiking, horseback riding, bicycling and cross-country skiing. Motorized vehicle traffic is not allowed; however, some portions of trails follow existing Forest Service roads open for motorized use.
Stretching across northeastern Wyoming and western South Dakota, Black Hills National Forest encompasses nearly 1.25 million acres of rugged rock formations, canyons and gulches, open grassland parks, tumbling streams, deep blue lakes, and unique caves. Derived from the Lakota language, the words "Paha Sapa," meaning "hills that are black," honor the dark, pine-covered hills rising several thousand feet above the surrounding prairie. Bighorn sheep navigate mountainous terrain, while elk, deer and pronghorn gather in forests and prairies. Bald eagles, hawks, osprey, peregrine falcon, and hundreds of other bird species can be found in the forest, especially along streams, lakes and rivers. Mountain lions, although rarely seen, also call this area home.
For facility specific information, please call (605) 574-4402.
Warren Peak Lookout Tower, approximately 4 miles north of the campground on Forest Service Road 838, provides a panoramic view of the landscape extending into South Dakota and Wyoming. Devils Tower National Monument is also a great location to visit. Established as the first United States National Monument on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt, this unique geological formation is valued for its natural, cultural, and recreational significance.

This time of year, I was the only one in the campground. Very beautiful sunset views and very quiet. For non-residents, a bit pricey for no water, but there are pit toilets. I would highly recommend!

I’m right under the Devils Peak under the stars!!!! A childhood dream come true!!!! Campground closes mid October
Traveler
This was a great spot to spend a night near Devil's Tower. The road getting there was rough but we were the only ones there. We even had a few free range horses and a donkey pass by in the evening.
RangerEvery site is a pull through. Generous spacing between sites. This is a first come, first served campground. We arrived at 2 pm on Fri Sept 6, and it was full by 4 pm. Flush toilets on site and water, but no showers or laundry. Access to hiking trails from the campground. Garbage dumpsters available, but no dump station. Payment (cash or check) is made at entrance, envelopes available. Campground management came through often. There are two loops. Loop B is more friendly to big rigs than Loop A. Cell signal was weak. Campground gets dark at night, perfect for stargazing. There is a KOA near the park entrance as well as some retail. From campground, you have to drive to the visitor center.
Traveler
Temps on 90 were in the 90s but up here a great breeze and cool. So peaceful! Our second year here and loving being back!
Ranger
Just pass the Weston turn off at Highway 49 and 59 on the right if you’re heading north . Go about 1 mile down a well-maintained dirt road. There was a vault toilet and a picnic table and a little pond that you could fish in. Nice flat area to park on. Far enough from the main road where it was super quiet.
Guide
Decent spot veside the road. There are several boondocking spots between here and Cook Lake Outhouse is nearby this site on main road Cows are all over this site
RangerA heap of broken if I would have known about the road before traveling up it I would never have taken my 29 ft trailer to the top. However I did make it. It's a beautiful place away from everything very quiet. I will add more to this review after I spend the night or two.
Guidestruck out on any camping close to devils tower, so we ended up coming here. fun little dirt road coming up the mountain to the sight. really only like 2 spots. lower spot is medium sized and we saw someone else there in a jeep. friends and i took the top spot which was big enough for a truck, a large suv, and sedan.
very quiet secluded area. got cold at night in august, but very beautiful views.
in the dark we kept seeing a tuxedo cat randomly watching us, not sure if it’s a stray or an outside cat from one of the nearby farms, didn’t come over when we enticed it and ran when we shone the light but cute little campsite friend i guess.
Guide
There are 4 different sites in the area, with each accommodating multiple vehicles. Access to the local creek. Sort of difficult to find a level spot but we made it work. We fit comfortably in a truck camper but I wouldn't go too much bigger here. Good Verizon service!
Ranger
We stopped here headed home from Colorado with a detour through South Dakota. This is a great one night stay with Electric and water if needed. Not far off the highway and no noise. Clean camp ground and shower house. Verizon works well. Not far from Mt Rushmore. Not sure I will pass by again but would stay here . $42 night cash.
Scout
Basic overnight but not bad.
RangerSmall RV park in middle of a small downtown. Full hook ups and reasonable. No privacy set in amongst houses but close to restaurants. Hosts very friendly.
Scout
Tim and Kelly are great hosts. The sites are spacious and shaded, but not very private. Toilets were very clean. If you are planing on visiting Devils Tower, this is far enough away from the crowds, but close enough to visit. If we come back this way we will camp here again.
Ranger
Due to it's remoteness, it appears some campers are taking advantage of the CG. Lots of trash and a pile of dog poop were left in a site vacated on my second day. Many other campers don't understand the need to put seat down and close door of vault toilet. There is no trash collection, so pack it out, please. Otherwise, this is a cute CG. No cell service. Water pump is provided but it's a workout to use. Sites 1&8 are the best. Trees for some shade. 1 has creek right behind it. Don't use GoogleMap as it does not take you to actual destination. USFS directions are off a bit, but are pretty good. Less gravel road if you come from Wyoming side.
TravelerFriendly hosts of a newly renovated & new family owned park. About 10 sites with Class A, B, & C RVs. Full hookups and we were charged $40 for cash price. Quiet location near downtown. No toilet or shower house at the present.
GuideIt rained the last two days but I was able to get up the hill in an overloaded AWD. There were some pretty hefty ruts so choose your lines carefully. I rolled up pretty late, maybe 7p. There was only one other person here and of course they took the spot. The lower spot was a big mud pit and the upper field is overgrown. It looks like a fire came through here maybe last year so the grass has bounced back really well in some spots. Seems pretty quiet human-wise with lots of birds and big noises, which I prefer. Not too far from Devil’s Tower and a great spot for me to stop over for the night. If I stayed longer, I’d nab that good spot. LOL.
RangerLoved this spot! The dirt road right off the highway is pristine, not even washboardy. Once you branch right for the last mile or so, there are a few small rocks and ruts but still smooth. At the top of the hill, there’s a left turn that splits - if you go right, you’ll go across a big flat meadow and at the end find a beautiful site with a great view of Devil’s Tower. We were surprised only one other car was here on a Saturday night. We experienced intense wind overnight, but still loved the locatiob
Scout
The owner was kind, and willing to accommodate us last minute. The spaces are small and tight. People appear to live here year round.
RangerDrive in on a Saturday and found several empty campsites. Coming from Yellowstone, the lower altitude came with warmer Temps. Very pleasant camping experience.
Traveler
We were planning to see “all-things-black-hills” on this trip. Had difficulty making reservations closer to Custer SD due to it being “early” season. Manny campgrounds are just now opening (early May). Newcastle is an easy and beautiful 37 miles from Custer SD. The campground is located adjacent to a large convenience store (just up the. Hill). Vegetation and shade are scarce, but we found the place to be very peaceful.
Traveler
Nice view by a lake but...
Wyoming state parks seem to be hostile to non residents. It"s cheaper to stay at a regular rv park and you have better amenities.
You can only reserve online. Online resevation fee $8.
Fee for electric site $18.
Electric fee additional $10.
Non resident fee $12.
Plus tax. $2.34. Then the only way to pay online was a credit card so there was a $1.26 convenience fee. Nothing about this was convenient.
Been through Wyoming a few times. First time staying at a Wyoming state park. Possibly the last.
Scout
When I called to check availability, I was told that it was off season so it would be 50 dollars per NIGHT FHU. When I arrived, it was 91 dollars FHU. Told them what I was told, and they didn't really care. At that point I didn't have a choice.
Guide.. says the sign when entering the final road to the campground. But we were lucky, no rain before and got in without any issues towing small teardrop trailer. Upper area is flat with grass. A bit exposed to the wind but we were able to set up the trailer to protect it from the gusts of wind. The plateau is pretty large, especially when empty. Our Neighbour’s took the prime spot with a view to the Devils Tower. We enjoyed the place for a night nevertheless, especially when lots of other camp places are still closed for the season.
TravelerI would have loved to have stayed here. Unfortunately, about 2 miles from the coordinates listed here, the road was blocked and stated no wheeled vehicles. I was looking forward to seeing Devil's Tower the following day, but just lost interest. I'll go back another time to see it up close.
ScoutDrove up in a class c 30ft pulling a jeep no problems erwin rd was dry would not attempt that road when unless 4wd
RangerThe KOA is literally at the base of Devil’s Tower - you aren’t going to get a better location. What I love about this campsite is that the actual campground is awesome, too. We loved watching Close Encounters (right at the scene of the action!) in the evening (the screen could be bigger). The playground was nice and so was the free miniature golf course. It was nice to get up in the morning and go to a really reasonably priced restaurant. The actual sites were not anything fancy - level and close together. It’s a great place to start or finish your day at Devil’s Tower!
