Which campground in Custer State park?
We hope to stay there in the summer of 2016, so still a ways out, but never too early to plan. It looks like there are several choices of campgrounds in the state park and I'm not sure which one to...

We camp at Custer SP for two weeks every year in the Fall. Have been meeting friends from all over SD for the past 14 years now. It's like a family gathering. We always gather at the Grace Coolidge Campground. It's a smaller CG with only a few sites to fit your length. Like others have said Legion Lake is nice, but I would recommend the Game Lodge Campground for your stay. Much larger pads and a choice from anything from full sun to almost full shade and is located nearer to more of the park activities. Custer SP has a great web-site with a map of each campground layout and to see a picture of the individual campsites.
Custer SP just recently changed their reservation system allowing reservations to be made up to one year in advance. The park is very popular and I would recommend you make your reservation as far out as possible.
On edit: I see other posts were made while I was typing and your reply. I see Legion lake suits you better. Legion Lake does have great fishing. We fish there too. Center Lake also has some great fishing.
Sorry if I repeated what others have already said. We all had some of the same thoughts.
