"The staff are friendly and I love the showers for they are private little rooms. They have a playground, laundry and these cute little kegs you can stay overnight in. I would recommend this place."
"Campground Review:
If you are looking for a family and pet friendly place to camp while visiting the Black Hills South Dakota area, look no further!!"
"Sites are gravel for the RV, reasonably level, and very well maintained. Most are pull through. Hookups are in very good condition. Each site had plenty of grassy area with tables and fire pit. "
"It is bordered by the Black Hills Natl. Forest. It has site for tent camper, pop-ups and bigger RV's and cabins. Due to the topography you will have to do some leveling."
"We then proceeded to FHUs pull-through site 9. Utilities were conveniently located to include outstanding water pressure so use a reducer."
"Terraced level spots on a hill side over looking Sundance WY and a gorgeous valley below. Electric, water and sewer for a reasonable price @ $46. Rates are much higher during Stergis week!!"
$21 - $51 / night
"Loved being able to walk to shops, breweries, and restaurants in downtown Custer from here.
Also had good WiFi and a nice bathroom facility."
"Great value, friendly owners, tent site next to creek and clean facilities."
"The park has not only multiple pull throughs, but most sites handle a 45 foot coach with ample room for the toad.
Just far enough off the hiway to be quiet during even bike week, and super clean."
"Fairly level and kinda far back off the road. We had a full hookup site. Water was discolored but tasted fine, hey its well water and it's camping."
"Nice centrally located RV park with 14-15 large pull-through sites with full water, sewer and 30/50 amp hookups."
"It offers spacious pull-through sites, with giant trees and full hook ups. There’s no frills but we didn’t need any! The location is perfect."
$23 - $35 / night
"This is a nice campground very close to Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park. The hosts are accommodating and friendly."
"It is only about 12 minutes to the entrance to Crazy Horse monument. There is no power, water, or sewer. The hosts are very friendly especially Duke the camp dog. The road was quiet at night."
$44 - $199 / night
"We booked our stay in September during the last week they were open for the season. Upon our arrival we were upgraded to one of their premium sites by the owner."
$35 - $50 / night
"You can see part of it if you move around. Otherwise it was quiet and close to town. We could walk no problem. Laundry, food and booze all close"
"Right in town, walking distance to everything in Keystone"
$55 - $250 / night
"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."
LegendArrived and parked at the new Gateway Travel Center in Newcastle to check in. We have been coming to this area for an annual hunting trip for 8 years. We stayed here two years ago and upfront its not the best of campgrounds (CG), but looks like some improvements are being attempted. This CG is still the best option for the area. The travel center and RV park used to be an outdoor movie theater back when. You now check in inside the travel center’s convenience store. You go to the check out counter, fill out your paperwork, and get your assigned site. We were traveling with another RV and were assigned sites 30 and 28, which are FHUs with 50/30 AMP. Technically there were sites 31 and 29 adjacent to our sites. The sites were small enough as it was, but if someone would have come in beside us into site 31, we would have been literally an arms length away from each other. With both of us in our party having fifth wheels with slide outs on both sides, there was no way anyone could have pulled into site 29 between us. However, no one was placed next to us during our 5 day stay and we believe the new CG management wouldn't purposely place someone next to a big rig. We recommend that once you receive your assigned site, go scope it out. They were putting in new site signs but had not gotten to our site so the number was written on the electric box with a permanent marker. Some of the sites here are standalone 30 AMP or 20 AMP, perfect for travel vans. There is no WiFi in the CG but the travel center has free unsecured Wifi near the pumps and in the convenience store that also has a Taco Johns. The last time we stayed here, there were pipeline workers and the CG was full. This time there were only a few transient workers. They have two pretty nice tent camping areas in the grass and their restroom/shower/laundry facility was well maintained and clean. They have 2 washers and 2 dryers that were very reasonably priced at $1.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry. The RV sites do not have picnic tables nor fire rings but the the tent areas have a few. Every morning and evening we had wild turkeys and mule deer roaming around the CG. With the Fountain Inn Hotel and the RV Park pretty much co-located, this CG made a good choice for our RV and hotel staying hunting group.
Traveler50amps full hookups are for those who are long term. No shower house. Sites are pull through our 32 ft 5th wheel and 250 had plenty of space in the spot. But sites are close to each other. 30amp I noticed all had full hookups. Sites are level. The place is quite, right off hwy 16, and a great shot of the mountains. It’s a good place to stay if you aren’t spending time at your camp site but visiting around.
LegendWe appreciated the pre arrival phone call to confirm we were still coming and letting us know our site was open whenever we wanted to arrive. Check in was very easy and informative concerning what to do in the area. We then proceeded to FHUs pull-through site 9. Utilities were conveniently located to include outstanding water pressure so use a reducer. Since we were only staying here two days, we decided to opt for the$2.00 a day additional charge for cable versus putting out our satellite dish. We received over 60 channels that worked great. Campground WiFi was satisfactory and we got 2 to 3 bars on Verizon. Along with the owners/camp hosts being very friendly, the office had a great store that carries not only RV supplies but other novelty items and they do propane tank fills. The campground sites were very well laid out. We visited at the end of the season, so a lot of their sites were already closed up in preparation for shutting down for the year. The back in and upper level pull-through sites had more spacing between sites versus the lower level pull-throughs where we stayed. The park was far enough from I-90 so there was basically no road noise. The fenced in dog park was a nice addition. Being only 30 minutes from Devil's Tower, this campground was very convenient to see local sights. Also take a tour of Sundance, this is where The Sundance Kid got his name and he had been jailed in the old courthouse. This park is a winner whether you need a nice overnight stop or a place to hang out for a while. We would definitely camp here again.

Sites: 16, 20, 18, 15: I like these pull over sites, because they have a nice view of the rolling grasslands. However, in our site, number 15, we were able to barely get our slide out without it protruding over the campground road. Some of the other pullover sites in B loop offer less room for a safe slide out usage. Other loops have wider pullover sites for trailers with slide outs. I took pictures of some of these sites with their numbered posts.
TravelerUnable to reserve online for same night. Called and assured space available never asked name, etc. Luckily the spot was near back of campground with very short walk to stunning view. All sites gravel with picnic tables. Sites are close together but due to early Oct, they tried to park RVs every other space in middle of campground. Many long term residents around outsides of park. 2 small Dog runs in front; grass dog walking area in back. Next to Fort Hays, home of $0.99 cowboy pancake breakfast and Dances with Wolves film set. Convenient as Mt Rushmore is only 20 miles & 36 miles to Crazy Horse Memorial. Extremely clean toilet and bath house!!
TravelerWe stayed here for 2 nights. There were full hookups and E/W spots. There were plenty of hot showers, a dump station, laundry, and propane refills, plus a tiny store. The grassy spots were level. Everything was cleaned daily. The only downside was considerable road noise from the freeway, but a fan or A/C can drown that out.
GuideI stayed in July of 2022. This park is easy to find and to get to; placed on a valley road between mountains and near the 1880's train line. Great electrical, water, and sewer, for RVs. The smaller (tent and pop-up) spaces are awesome. My 20' RV and Jeep Grand Cherokee (about 37 feet total) just fit into the pull through site assigned me as 38 feet, but there was obviously more length to the site than that. The park is central to the surrounding area, and about 1.25 miles from downtown Keystone. Reasonable price for the area. Great hiking from right at the park. T-mobile outside of my RV was poor but sometimes connected. They do pack you in like sardines (the slide out on the RV next door to me was nearly over my picnic table), but there is enough space to get your business done and to enjoy yourself. Four stars because I am saving five for the one-percenters.
GuideNot a lot of privacy between sites, but plenty of room. Full hookups with convenience store adjacent. Bathrooms and showers were cleanest and roomiest we experienced in 2.5 month travels. Staff was friendly. Concrete pads adjacent to gravel drive through, and fire rings adjacent to site. Picnic tables and garbage cans at each site. Pretty close to road, but traffic was light and almost not noticeable. A few flies, but generally not buggy. Higher elevation above Deadwood, so a bit cooler.nice wooded view on one side. Generally a smaller, quiet camp. A hidden gem.
GuideWhat a hidden gem of a place! Easy to find, very close to Deadwood, clean showers and bathrooms and it has a bar a grill! Bar and grill was so good and I’m still dreaming about that burger. Has a shuttle to get you into Deadwood if you aren’t able to drive. The campground has such variety of big rig spots, tent spots, pop up spots, and everything in between. Even has dry and wet cabins available for rent. Cute little stream that runs through the campground. Met the owners that are in it together as a family. Highly recommend this place whether you are passing through the black hills or visiting Deadwood. Can’t wait to go back to this place and explore more!
