Stockade Lake North Campground

"We stayed at Stockade Lake North in our truck tent on a site with no electric hookup. There was plenty of space at our site to feel private, despite the campground being almost completely occupied. We also had a picnic table and fire pit (the hosts told us firewood was available to purchase at the Custer State Park entrance). Our site was close to bathrooms, which were very clean. The showers were free and hot!! At night we could hear coyotes and owls. Deer, turkey and rabbits were also visible near the campsites. For our needs, this was a very wonderful campsite. The grounds themselves were beautiful, with some lovely trails down to/around the lake. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming. And the location is amazing for accessing Custer, Custer State Park and Black Hills National Forest. We did need to reserve spots over a month before staying. RV spots seemed to be in very high demand as well!"

"A great campground! Lots of tree cover and central location to do just about anything in the black hills. We tent camp, and our spot (SN22) was perfect for tent camping. There was a place about 50 feet away from the fire pit to pitch our tent, and it was picture perfect. I would highly recommend this campground. Just make sure to research which spot your reserving if you're tent camping, because not all spots are tent friendly."

"We had a very nice visit to this campground. We have a 30’ TT and need a good size site and don’t like to have to do a lot of leveling. We found a site with electric but none of the sites offer water or sewer hookups. Water was available across the loop from us so we filled up before getting onto the site. The camp hosts were great! The sites were nicely spaced out. We stayed five nights and bought the $20 weekly park pass that’s required that’s in addition to the campground site rates which were reasonable at $15/night. Biggest negative was no close dump facility it was free but about ten miles away. Easy trip into Custer and what a neat little town!"

"Beautiful campsite, the privacy is not very good but the sites are very quiet. Washrooms and showers are SUPER clean and well ventilated. Thank you! Close to town and other national parks. Very friendly host and we overall experience was awesome. Highly recommended."

"Beautiful sites, lots of shade, some sites have electric, some camper sites are just pull-offs on the road, but have large private space behind, tenting sites are excellent. Easy walk to the lake, but drive to the beach, about 1/2 mile walk off the end of the campground to historic stockade. Granite intrusions fun to scramble on. Lovely, peaceful area to spend the day or easy access to the park or Custer."
