Mt Rushmore is a major travel destination. When we were there 2 years ago, I had reservations made 6 months ahead of time for Custer SP. I like the comfort of knowing I have a place to stay. Pickings will be slim, and getting thinner by the day.
Not to say that you won't find a place....but it might be a place you don't want to be at. Pull the trigger and nail down a spot, especially since you're taking your granddaughters.
This season seems to be a good one and more people might go there. It might be better to reserve as early as possible for good spots.
