    Custer State Park. Central to all the attractions, an amazing place to stay!

    I second Custer state park as a great place to stay. (near Custer, SD). It is about 1 hour south of Deadwood.

    Things we enjoyed:
    • Wind Cave National Park
    • Custer State Park


    Of course Mt. Rushmore.

    Although we did not make it... the South Dakota Air and Space Museum.


    Caution: some of the roads in the area very restrictive in the turns and tunnels.

    My pick would be Steel wheel campground or Hidden Valley campground. Located 6 miles south of Deadwood on 385, owned by the same family, and kept very clean!! and have shuttle van to Deadwood. We stayed here last summer and would stay again.

    If you want to see the black hills, Hill City is a good central location! We stayed at Horse Thief campground on Needles hwy. Great place with beautiful views of the surrounding hills.
