Custer Mountain Cabins & Campground 12503 U.S. 16A, Custer, SD 57730

"Well, after an email and several phone calls, I was finally able to reach someone at the campground. They never called or tried to contact me back I had to chase them. I was looking for eight full hook up RV spots, and some cabins generating over $1000 of revenue for the campground. The gentleman I spoke to (owner) was unwilling to work with me and our group to accommodate us, stating that he needed multiple days of stay. For a business of hospitality, there was no hospitality. I would steer clear of this place and find someplace that really wants your business."

"We arrived late in the afternoon, having experienced problems with our reservation elsewhere. Custer Mountain had a spot for us available, for all 4 nights we had hoped for. The location is great, located between the town of Custer and the western entrance to Custer State Park. Very convenient! The price was reasonable for a full-hookups site (we were told all sites are full hook-ups). The staff was friendly and helpful. One thing nice and different from most campgrounds - they picked up trash every morning around 9AM if you left it out. And one important thing for us - it was quiet! A little highway noise, but no rowdy campers. We really enjoyed our stay, would recommend it to others, and will stay here again when we next return to the Black Hills."

"This is by far the best campground we have ever stayed at. I know that is a big statement. The campground is much like most campgrounds. What makes this campground different is your host. Upon arrival you are immediately part of the family. Don't be surprised if you are invited to dinner or to sit around the campfire and share stories. Rudiger "Rudy" and Beate "Beth" are the best."

"We actually changed our travel plans TWICE to come spend more time here! Nice roomy tent spaces. Bathhouse is roomy and clean with lots of hot water. Staff is gracious, accommodating, and helpful! We HIGHLY recommend! Amazing view in the mountains/Black Hills."

"This is a pretty campground with friendly staff, but I did not like how extremely close the sites are to the road. We listed to highway traffic all night long and construction noise early in the mornings. Some of the sites are extremely close together with zero privacy. The showers were clean but every time we took a shower there was no hot water. The water heaters are apparently too small for the number of people in the campground. It’s aggravating to pay money for cold showers. To top it off a guy came through and mowed the campground at breakfast time and blew dirt all in our food."
