Planning a Trip to South Dakota & Wyoming

Not recommending staying there, but if you do, you are visiting history in the area. Right across the barbed wire fence on the side road of Wheels West is where Custer camped on his expedition to ostensibly to run the white men out of the Black Hills. There is a monument to one of his men who died and is buried there. Just up the road a couple hundred yards is where his expedition found gold on French Creek leading to the Indians being driven from their sacred hills. Across hiway 16 and again on the banks of French Creek is the site of the original Stockade settlement the trespassers had built before Custer arrived.

Now the RV Park itself has a great little café for breakfasts and the food is fantastic. There may be a couple of good sites, but the one we were in is too narrow and one could actually fall off the site pad and down an embankment.
Easy access to the area, but not a place we will stay again.

and a few miles down the dirt road across the highway criss-crossing French Creek, you'll find where I played Davey Crockett as a young kid ... :) or Davey Crockett played me?
Disclaimer - I know history tells us that Davey Crockett was not in the Black Hills ... but I did have a coonskin cap :)
