Our 38' Super C and Ford Ranger Tow Car were comfortably accommodated in a back-in site at this park. There were also larger pull-through sites available, including some of the biggest I've ever seen at a park. This park stands out as one of the most impressive we've ever visited. The roads are made of solidly compacted gravel, and the sites are roomy with lush grass, a picnic table, fire pit, and grill. We spent four nights here and I was reluctant to leave. Although we didn't utilize the bathrooms and showers, I did inspect them and found them to be very clean. There are two showers located near the office. Ice is available for purchase at a fair price ($3 for 5#, $8 for 16#). The town of Custer is conveniently located just 5 minutes away. While we didn't dine out, there are several bars/grills in the area. There is also a grocery store with a decent selection, albeit a bit expensive, which is typical for a small tourist town. The park's location is ideal, with close proximity to local attractions like Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and the entrance to Custer State Park. The Badlands are roughly an hour to an hour and a half away, and Rapid City is also within easy driving distance for larger supply runs. I wholeheartedly endorse this park and we plan to return!

Custer Gulch was a delight to visit. It was well-kept and spotless. There were no problems whatsoever, though the wifi was somewhat erratic. On the whole, it was excellent!

We needed full hooks between boondocking sites and wanted to explore the south part of the Black Hills. Custer’s Gulch fit the bill. The park is very clean, well organized, quite, away from the highway yet close to everything (Mt Rushmore, Custer SP, Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, etc.) The sites are well separated with nice grass lawns between. Each site backs on to natural forested land so you don’t feel all bunched up.

This is a quiet campground with no road noise. The sites have plenty of green space and its really DARK at night (no park lights) so you have a great view of the stars. We stayed during the Buffalo round up so it was really busy but everybody was friendly. The only negative item was the dirt road as you drove into the park but otherwise it was very nice

Great location because it was very close to everything in the Black Hills but unlike the park campgrounds this had full hook ups, wifi and ability to burn wood for bonfires. Our campsite backed up to a wooded area where we watched a family of deer every evening. Scenery was nice! It was a more adult oriented campground because it didn't have a playground, pool etc. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The campground also had their own rental cars which although well used, served their purpose in getting us all around the lovely Black Hills. Would definitely go here again if in the area! Cell service was challenging, but wifi was adequate especially if you were situated near one of their boosters. Best wifi signal came from the office.

Location! Location! Location! We stayed here at the end of May during COVID. Thank you SD for keeping campgrounds open! No tent camping was allowed because the bathrooms and showers had to remain close. This is a quiet campground off of the main road and very close to Custer State Park which is where you will spend most of your time if you stay for more than a couple of days. There are other campgrounds in the area and if you enjoy the sound of trucks engine braking then stay at one of those. This park was so quiet and peaceful you could almost imagine the gulch filled with General Custer's tents. We had full hookups and the gravel site required minor leveling. We drive a small rig but this place is definitely big rig friendly. It is next to a public forest road and some campers simply drove their dirt bikes and side by sides from their site to the public lands next door. The park is also just a couple of miles from the town of Custer which will have everything you need. Some other reviews mention a cranky park owner. Frankly we were a little disappointed that we did not experience any of that. Friendly and helpful owners and staff were the norm for us.

Had a great stay! The grounds are well kept and loved the grass everywhere (we’re from AZ and don’t have grass). Spacing between rigs was very nice. If you stay here, get your pass to the Custer State Park at the beginning of your stay. There is so much to do there you could spend an entire week just doing the park. Passes are $20/week. No daily passes sold. We also did Big Thunder Gold Mine & 1880 Train. Highly recommend those too!
