Quiet little campground nestled in the hills. Custer Park just down the road. Great little trout lake. Very quiet at night

We camped here July 2025. Site 7 is perfect for tent camping! We were able to fit 2 6-person tents on this site. There's great lake access near all sites for fishing and paddleboarding, and our kids loved climbing all the huge boulders here. Our site was a little close to site 6, especially considering how spread out most of the others are, but it didn't bother us and our neighbors were chill. Very close to the vault toilet and water spigot. The camp host was wonderful and super friendly. The location is right in the middle of all the fun stuff to do in the Black Hills. Our favorite campsite ever!

This place is why we all need to support Federal funding for recreation sites. Beautiful campground, spacious sites, just $10 night (I would support doubling this if spent on trash cans (there are none) and other support). Only about 8 or 10 sites are open though most of the year as the other part of the campground is closed until memorial through Labor Day. This is a shame because it's a beautiful place. No reservations so you have to take your chances but there's a lot of camping in the area. There is one thing that I don't think is appropriate though. The Bob Marshall fishing organization and camp has built a plastic dock on the lake. With a federal permit which is great. But even when and not in use, they have a sign that says that the public cannot go on to that dock. Even though it is Federal land. The federal government should not allow that. If you want to have a dock on the people's land, great but you should not deny access to the public. The Bob Marshall organization should consider changing that sign to be a good Steward of public land.

Beautiful spot. Saw amazing sun sets every night. The lake is lovely. The kids had so much fun exploring. There is a nesting pair of bald eagles and beavers. The hosts were amazing, so helpful, friendly and kind. This was our kids' first camping experience in a tent. It was just perfect!

This is the hidden gem of the Black Hills. Just amazing.

Awesome camp. Very quiet. Within custer state park. Very close to my Rushmore and Sylvan lake. Every campsite has a fire pit and a picnic table, also they have firewood for sale.

We showed up on the spot and got a great campsite complete with picnic table and campfire pit. A clean vault toilet was close by, as was a hydrant. Couldn't beat the price. The place was beautiful!! A lake with a nice boardwalk and dock, nature, quiet... Couldn't ask for more!

Spent half a day fishing and was not disappointed, fished for trout and caught eight very tasty juveniles. 👍👍👍👍😋
