Custer SP?

Sounds like this park has good reviews for a week next June. Using as a home base for all the sights. Would like full hookups. Any comments or thoughts? It sounds like there are several units in the park, which is nicest or most convenient?

    We wanted full hook-up when we were out there. We stayed at Rafter J as our base camp. We loved Custer SP and the area, we spent a week there and still didn't see everything we wanted too. Our main reason was to watch the Buffalo Round-up which is the last Friday of September.

  • no full hook ups in custer, only dump stations are game lodge and beginning of wild life loop, one in horse camp but they discourage use of that one.
  • When out in that area a few years back we did not stay in Custer NP, however did get FHU in a great park in the city of Custer. Fort Welikit is a great park worth checking out. www.blackhillsrv.com is there web site
  • I can’t comment on camping in the park, but can vouch for it being a great home base for lots of things to do. Enjoy!

    So custer has electric, but no dump at each site? We can boondock without sewer for 4 days but would probably prefer sewer.

    I’ll check out those privates.

  • We liked Stockade North and South as well as Game Lodge. We need electric LOL! Location was good for what we wanted to see and do. A friend of mine likes BlueBell, but we have not seen it. Lots of info on the state park site and the forums.
