    We had one of their patio pull threw spots and it was awesome.

    Beautiful place. Very welcoming and helpful. The lady at the desk gave us some wonderful advice on where to go for a wonderful scenic drive.

    Our little cabin at the KOA by Custer, SD

    This was the third KOA we stayed at during our trip. (This one had the best showers in my opinion.) It is located a couple of miles from Custer city which makes it easily accessible for food and what not. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed in one of the cabins. They are so cute! It gets a little cold at night up here in the mountains, but luckily they provide you with a heater. The beds were comfortable, be aware you have to bring your own sheets. They offer a lot of fun activities for kids, which is a good and bad thing. (They were running around and shouting pretty late at night.) Great option for your travels, very affordable! Prices for cabins starting at about $70.

    Thee Most Awful experience in my entire life !! We have a special set up for our van in which we sleep in and our tent connects to the rear for living room purposes . There were no instructions on how to park where to park or what to park on for tent/electric/water hook up site no one told us a Thing. We had just finished setting up camp about 5:30 pm pitched our tent prepped our site . Then this big fat Man on his golf cart said we had to park our van on the rock pad ( not really a rock pad more like grass growing up through rocks you couldn't really tell) so we parked sideways on the pad and set up camp again , welp that was wrong too they wanted us to face forward on the rock pad we tried to explain our set up and this man became angry did not want to listen was not going to give in any sort of way! He even said you people from CALIFORNIA are the worst( my husband is from Texas ) we were stunned at that assumption!!! He threatened to kick us out after we had already made a 2 day reservation ,he even threatened to get the owner, which we told him to get but never showed up... He was childish I think he was a little drunk could not stand up without weaving and was very belligerent for someone who is supposed to work with the public!! If you are from CALIFORNIA AVOID THIS PLACE!! NAZIS HAVE LANDED! CAMPING ON ROCKS SUCKS ASS !! .... STOCK PHOTO OF MY SET UP BUT MY VAN IS WAY BIGGER

    This is our view from our camp site #44

Restrooms and roomy showers were clean. We had a 25' TT and site accommodated our tow vehicle. We had 2 sites a back in (3 nights) and pull thru (2 nights). Beautiful hiking trail behind campground. We had a fire ring and location is somewhat hilly so difficult for handicap to get around. All in all a great location and easy to find. Nice general store on site. Definitely have to get some homemade pie from the Purple Pie House, blueberry, apple and bumbleberry were delicious warmed ip with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream! The Claw Antler & Hide store had very unique and cool items bought antler whistles for the grandkids. Had the best buffalo burger at Black Hills Burger and Bun but go early its very popular! For you knitters visit the Busy Ewe Farm & Fibers (605) 440-0316 awesome natural wool yarns.

    Sylvan Lake Campground - Site 21

    This is an awesome campground within an incredible state park…read more We stayed two nights at Sylvan Lake Campground and were really impressed, especially by how clean everything was! I couldn't believe how spotless the bathrooms were every single time I went in, it was perfect. The electric sites are fairly close together, so if you're looking for more privacy, I'd recommend the walk-in sites. The unfortunate thing about the walk-in sites are the more secluded sites (like #16, #17, and #21) require a bit of an uphill trek. It's not a long walk, but it does take a little bit of effort to get everything up there. That said, Site #21 was one of the best campsites I've ever stayed in, it was worth the extra sweat. The only reason I'm giving this place four stars is because the trail to the walk-in sites is very rough. They do provide a wheelbarrow to help carry your stuff, but the terrain is so rocky that using it seemed like more trouble compared to just walking your stuff up. Overall we enjoyed our stay and everyone was so quiet, it really felt like it was just you in nature.

    What a beautiful and scenic lake. We had so much fun climbing on all of the rocks too! The trails…read moreto walk around the lake are very scenic and nice too. Watch out though - they are fixing up some of the trails, so some things might be closed or detoured, and the detour can be long! There is only 5 kayaks to rent on first come first serve basis, so maybe bring your own kayak if you can.

He came out to the RV as we pulled up so that we didn't have to get down and gave me all the paperwork right there and directed me to my site after giving me a brief rundown of the place. I really enjoyed my stay here. The campground was covered in neatly mowed grass and the RV spaces were fairly decent sized. There was a nice fire pit at each site made from an old truck rim (my kids got a kick out of that). The kids were able to play on a playground near the horse stables there. It seemed like a popular place for folks to come and stay who were traveling with their horses. The office was very nice and clean, and Jerry's wife was just as welcoming and professional as he was. The bathrooms were impeccably clean and well-kept. The laundry facility was also nice and clean. We were also told to place our trash bags at the end of our site and that someone would come around in the morning and pick it up for us. How cool! We had a great time here and will definitely stay again if we go through the area. Thanks, Jerry!
