Custer State Park

I planning a trip to Custer SP just after Labor Day.
Which CG has electric & water?
Which CG will I see the most Birds & Wildlife?
Any help will make my trip better, Thanks
  • We stayed at Bluebell when we were there..... Electric, but that's it. The bath houses were very nice in my opinion (I'm quite picky) and it's 2min to the wildlife loop. Occasionally bison will wander through that campground. It's also 5min from wind cave NP. The only downside is it's the most "in the middle of nowhere" campground they have there.
  • X 2 on Custer's Gulch. Great access to park and other attractions in the area.

    They have the buffalo round up the last week of Sept. each
    year. If you go, Go to the north side to watch.

    Most camp grounds in the area close the end of Sept.

    For Wildlife, be sure to drive the Wildlife Loop, we saw Buffalo, Antelope, Prairie Dogs, Turkey, and lots of different birds.
  • All campgrounds have elec and water etc,but make reservations NOW.
    Game Lodge should have lots of birds.
    Stockade lake is closest to town
