Not your typical state park!
To start with, Custer State Park is HUGE! It’s more like a national park in size and scope of amenities but being a state park you can bring your pets. Also, there are multiple campgrounds and multiple resorts so you can stay in any kinds of digs from primitive tent sites to RV hookups to lodges. Each overnight area has a different mix of amenities: fishing piers, boat rentals, restaurants and bars (some are privately owned), gift shops, bait shops, visitor centers, interpretive programs, even pools. We visited each campground area to check them out. Though we stayed at the Game Lodge Campground, we liked them all—it will be a toss up of which one we stay at next time because all are great choices! The camping reservation system is very easy to use and a must for summer. We went in early May so there were still some sites open.
Our campsite at Game Lodge Campground was back in, partial hook up (water and electricity). We have a truck and a 24 ft bumper pull but the camping area lanes were paved and well laid-out so we were able to turn around and back in with no problems. The driveways are gravel and the sites are grass with a picnic table and fire ring. It’s fairly compact in the middle—no trees or shrubs between the sites so it’s not private but you are not right next to each other either. The outside edges are more natural. Our campground offered interpretive programs but we didn’t have any that met our schedule. The visitor’s center was very good. There’s also an area where we were allowed to let the dogs run but it is not fenced so if your dog is a runner/explorer this is not the best spot. Ours stay close so it worked for us. Some of the visitor centers are not open outside of the summer season.
Watch out for bison—they are everywhere! Keep a bigger distance than you think you need. The interior of the park is dirt road which are bumpy 1.5-2 car widths, mostly level and passible by passenger car. We explored all the backroads which is our favorite thing to do. Lots of wildlife since it’s quiet back there. Goes through interesting scenery including the burn area. They were paving the roads while we were there (May 2022) which made for a butter-smooth ride along the park’s main loop. We visited all the other campgrounds and lakes, never did fish but there’s plenty of places to do so. We drove the Iron Mountain Rd and Needles Highway—very scenic with many places to stop to admire the view. Beware--there are multiple tunnels through the rock along these roads. We had a tape measure with us and were just able to fit with the side mirrors in! Since it was May and the park was not packed, we were able to get a turn to go through the hole fairly quickly but if you go in high season this will be a long wait—not only because it is single width but there’s also lots of people standing on the road taking pictures. Also lots of cars stopping to photograph the wildlife. Be patient, go slow, and keep an eye on the scenery-that’s the fun part of this park. All the staff is super knowledgeable and friendly.
Outside the park are lots of other wonderful sites to visit—Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, the Gordon Stockade Historic fort, and more. We spent 3 days and could easily spend more time. Even though we saw all the features, we will be coming back here for sure—it’s so beautiful. Timing-wise, we were there in the 2nd week of May. It was sunny but cool—long sleeves and sweatshirts during the day, puffy coats and heaters at night. The deciduous trees were still not fully leafed out so it still looks like Spring. Not many flowers yet. But there were baby bison all over which are adorable (and well protected by mom and aunties—beware!). But also the crowds were less so there were many times when we were the only visitors in site which was awesome!

We really enjoyed seeing the bison UP CLOSE and personal!! Take time to drive the whole wildlife drive and when you get surrounded, remain in your car and enjoy the sights.

We were chasing the bison, unsuccessfully though, while people were pointing here and there. We hiked around a few lakes and were more that satisfied

Great visit in December. Park was virtually empty and teaming with wildlife. Tons of Bison, Deer and Goats to be seen. Visitor center open along with Creekside lodge and a select cabins. Bring snacks and have plenty of gas, nearest facilities are in the town of Custer. One of my favorite parks in the US.

Good stopover on my way from Rapid City to Colorado / Rocy Mountains NP /
Beautiful Black Hills with NeedleHighway and region. Everything looks like from movies I used to watch.
Lake Sylvan with its neighbourhood and trail around it is easy to do for everyone.

It was suggested that we check out this state park while near Mt. Rushmore. A 20.00 entry fee, which we thought was high for a state park but.....
This park is beautiful and extremely well cared for. We saw Bison and a large herd of Big Horn Sheep. There are beautiful lakes and lodges. A lovely scenic loop drive.
We were so impressed with this park.

We loved our visit to Custer State Park. Beautiful Nature, fascinating geology and wildlife. Good for shorter or longer hikes. Don't miss the Sylvan Lake area.

Looking to rent a camping cabin and trying to decide between Bluebell and Stockade South! Anyone have any options on them?

We stayed in Custer and drove into the Stockade lake area. I never heard of Bluebell but Stockade is really close to the wildlife loop in Custer park.
If you enjoy seeing animals I would take a close look at Stockade.
Can you see Rushmore and Crazy Horse in Jewel Cave and one day

Yes, u can but it will be tight time wise. All three activities are very interesting and even though they are not far apart, the roads are winding and there is a lot of wildlife, sometimes right on the road. It can be slow going but lots of fun!

Trying to decide if the Black Elk Trail 9 is an ok trail for my kids (age 17, 13, 9, & 8.) We are an athletic family and last year did a 6 mile bike ride on the southern rim of the grand canyon, so we love family physical activities. But hiking to Black Elk Peak (Harney Peak) may be a different, more difficult challenge, than what we are used to. Can an 8 & 9 year old handle the challenge of the Black Elk Trail 9 to the peak?

We hiked the trail in September and saw a number of families going up as we were going down. I don't know how many made it to the top though.
Are you familiar with the Alltrails app? A number of people recently posted there of hiking with children. It could help you decide.
We didn't think the trail was exceptionally steep, but it can be a long way.

Looking all over the Custer State Park website and cannot find when the park actually opens or Rangers start taking money at the entrance…what is the earliest we can get in and head to the Wildlife Loop?

The road is always open. The ranger post does have hours. However we went early in the morning to see animals. There was no problem except for construction in September.

So our plan for Sept 2022 is to arrive about 5am and get in line. I am curious as to how far the parking lot is from the viewing area..... either south or north.

Arrive earlier than 5am....bring chairs, dress appropriately as it is cold in a. Don't feed the wild animals...they are wild and if you encounter, remain in yr vehicle. Buffalo can charge you, donkeys can kick!!!!! Don't bring yr dog(s) dogs have the same scent as coyote which are natural enemies. Donkeys will charge, kick and kill yr dog. Have fun,....views and experience of a lifetime!

Can you see the corrals from the viewing areas on the day of the Great Buffalo Round-up or do you need to walk or drive to the corrals? Are there porta-potties near the viewing areas?

Viewing is limited from the road in your vehicle, unless on a tour or special arrangements. Regarding bathrooms, there is a welcome center, otherwise, you go where the Bison 🦬 go!

Hi,
I will be staying at the State Game Lodge from a tour. I will not have a vehicle to move around in. Will I be able to rent a car? Does the lodge provide transportation within the park?
I would like to rent a car to go Rapid City from the lodge.

Considering hauling our ebikes for a 3 week trip to SD and Yellowstone. Will we be able to ride them enough to make it worth the haul from NC or is it easier to just rent when in areas we can or want to bike ride?
