Planning on staying in the Rushmore/Black Hills area for 6 days.there is sure ALOT of RV parks. looking for some REAL world advice on were to stay.RV park reviews has ALOT of reviews of the area, lots to take in.we can go from fancy to not fancy. i like space between sites and wireless.leaving the KIDS at home so that part is not important.Thanks

What time frame? From about the 20th of July to the 10th of August, you will have a hard time finding any sites close by. The Sturgis rally is in that time frame and about 100K other folks will be there, too. We are arriving on July 19th and will stay till Aug 14th.

We stayed at Custer's Gulch RV park in Custer. Some of the upper sites are a little close but the lower ones are very large. Lots of space between and long enough that one could put two RV's front to back. They called them "premium sites". We like the place and will go back.

We have stayed here a couple of times. Really like it. Central to all the doings'. There are 5 different camping areas. We like the "Island" area.Have a good trip.Rafter J Bar

Custer's Gulch for us, too. Liked it, and the little town of Custer, as well.Close to the SP.

I really enjoyed Big Pine Campground when I was at Rushmore last summer.Great campground, very woodsy and secluded, and the staff was friendly and accommodating.
