Best Campgrounds near Newcastle, WY

Plenty of areas to pull up your van and sleep for the night. There is a sign posted that says there is a five night limit for camping.

Visited in late August 2024

Several great campsites along a 2WD-friendly (albeit bumpy) road. Road noise is blocked pretty well by the topography, but not the views. Be aware that there is some broken glass in some of the tent sites.

Perfect location for exploring the Black Hills, Custer State Park, Wind Cave NP, Mt. Rushmore, and Jewel Cave NM. Spacious sites. High clearance required after the first 3 sites.

Beautiful park with stunning mountain and lake views. We saw sheep, bison, and tons of deer while touring the state park via vehicle. We stayed at site 12E in the end of March. Our site was very private and on a colder at the end of the loop; though further from the bathhouse than some of the other sites. Our camp host was very knowledgeable of the area, and gave us wonderful advice about local scenic areas. This campground is about an hour away from Mount Rushmore.

Very quiet. Some sites have no shade at all. This one was very nicely shaded and tucked away from the road. Elk and Coyotes sounding off all night.

The place was very calm just some cars went on the road behind us. I really recommend this place. Cell coverage is poor but still present. You can go to this place if you search a very calm place.

This campground was amazing, ideal for flexible day-to-day plans. A handy tip: reserve your first night online, then use the on-site landline to extend your stay without any additional charges. It’s a secluded spot with simple facilities like pit toilets, water spigots, and a shower near the lake."https://thetocabocaworld.com/

Stunning scenery with so much to explore! I only wish I could have stayed a few more nights. The lake is absolutely beautiful, the trails are well-maintained, and the fun feels endless. download minecraft pocket edition

My Son and I stayed here while visiting Mount Rushmore and the surrounding area's other attractions. There's a lot of dispersed spots here but most spots don't have a fire ring that I could see. There's only a few spots that a high clearance vehicle might be required but most of the road can be explored without one.

This is a pack in and pack out site with no facilities; no running water, no bathrooms, nothing. Make sure you bring what you need with you.

Weather was great, very mild. Air was fresh and crisp.

We are planning on staying here again in the future because of it's close proximity to everything and my 6 year old loved it!

We came in one afternoon and there was hardly any sites available. It was beautiful tho!

Stayed a night in early November. Didn’t see any notice that the bathroom we picked a spot near was closed for the season… that meant a really long cold walk to the pit toilet. Quite a few shady sites, a babbling brook nearby, a flock of turkeys wandering through most of the morning. While the campground was mostly empty, we had neighbors directly adjacent with at least two dead deer in the back of their pickup for more than 24 hours, with crows coming by for snacks… kinda gross.

Blue Bell Campground truly captures the essence of a classic camping experience, with its beautiful surroundings and well-maintained facilities. The campground offers easy access to scenic trails, wildlife viewing, and nearby attractions like Sylvan Lake and Needles Highway, making it perfect for both relaxation and adventure. Plus, amenities like clean restrooms, picnic tables, and fire pits add convenience without taking away from the rustic charm. Whether you're there to hike, uno online spot wildlife, or just unwind by the campfire, it’s a wonderful spot to connect with nature in Custer State Park.

Nice setting near creek in canyon. Urban,yet quiet nice bathrooms. Full of campers, but peaceful

I loved this campground, perfect for day-by-day planning. Here’s a quick tip: book your first night online, then use the landline on-site to extend your stay without extra fees. It’s a remote spot with basic amenities—pit toilets, water spigots, and a nearby shower up by the lake. Read More

I loved this campground, especially for planning one day at a time. Quick tip: book online for your first night, and then use the on-site landline to extend as needed—no extra fees for adding nights this way. It’s a quiet, remote spot with basic amenities: pit toilets, water spigots, and a shower up the road by the lake. Read More

Beautiful scenery with loads to do. The drive from Mt Rushmore to the campsite was incredible

play uno online there with my friends too.

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!

Clean small campground. Probably really busy state park in summer months. End of loop only trails and wildlife behind us.

I found the place easily and the spots were well apart from each other. The weather was great camping in the pine trees, very quiet and cozy. Will definitely camp at again.
