Whistler Gulch is truly one of Deadwood's hidden gems. We've stayed here for many years and…read morehonestly wouldn't consider camping anywhere else. The campground is beautifully tucked between the walls of a scenic gulch, surrounded by greenery and wildlife--including a little black bunny that seems to call the campground home. It's incredibly clean, organized, well managed, and paved throughout, which we especially appreciate because it keeps the dust off our RV and vehicles. You can see the thoughtful care everywhere. All RV sites have full hookups, trash is picked up right from your campsite, and there's a basketball court, yard games, and a clean pool and pool deck--perfect after a hot day of sightseeing. There are also tent sites with water and electricity, as well as cabins, so there's something for everyone. The staff is outstanding--friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The charming log cabin office has a comfortable lounge area and basic camping supplies for anything you may have forgotten. Another great feature is the Deadwood trolley, which stops at the campground about every 20 minutes. For only $2, you can ride downtown and enjoy the restaurants, bars, shops, museums, and attractions without worrying about driving or parking. After all these years, we continue to be impressed by how much care goes into Whistler Gulch. It's beautiful, convenient, welcoming, and has helped us create many wonderful memories in Deadwood. We highly recommend it and wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Ample room in the spots, a great pool and laundry room, nestled in between two peaks so the stars shine bright and they can accommodate everything from super long to popping a dang tent! Everyone in the office is soooo nice, I'm talkin to you Robin, Tammy and Linda! There's a really friendly man who rolls around in the golf cart too but I don't know his name. Communicative, helpful and making sure everyone is enjoying themselves is what this place is all about.... Also, this location is perfect to enjoy the rally (or whatever event is happening) in either Deadwood or Sturgis but not you're be stuck in the chaos. It's nice and quiet. We've met some great friends camping here though. People walking their dogs or just taking a stroll will stop by if you give them a smile, and I really like that. This is one of those reviews I hope works out well for the establishment but doesn't make it harder for me to get in...... that has happened lol Totally worth the risk though..... it's a great place to vacation so I had to share!

The entire campground feels brand new and is impeccably maintained. We had a creek running just behind our site so it was beautiful to sit beside it or hear it when we went to go to sleep. There are only 18 sites so it a little slice of heaven. I advise that you make your reservations early. Bathrooms are private and they have complimentary hot showers. Immaculately clean. There is a small clubhouse where you can sit and watch tv, make some coffee, play foosball, use the microwave, etc. This is a place we will come back to and revisit again and again! Thank you for creating such a wonderful getaway.

Unfortunately, the day we arrived the water main broke Anna had no water for a day and a half. However, the office refunded one night stay without us even asking. I will say the RV's were only feet apart from each other so was a little noisy in the morning. The office store was nice. It had a coffee machine and many souvenirs. The people running the faculty were amazing. My husband needed emergency dental work and they gave us a few hours extra to check out.

The good: The two showers that one half of the entire park shares are pretty nice and big with a toilet and sink in it. A private area to shower. The bad: The water pressure. The good: The one-room cabin is nice. The bad: No refrigerator in the cabin. The very worst thing is that the night we got there, the front desk did not know that the trolley was regularly running, with several people on it. Instead, they said we would have to text or call the driver. (He is busy driving.........!) So needless to say, we drove and as we were driving down the KOA driveway,leaving to go to Deadwood, we had to move out of the way for the &;&;)@$ trolley that was driving up. Would have been nice if the front desk would have made it their business to find out trolley info. One more thing: The two donkeys running loose made all the dogs go nuts.

Unfortunately, on our travel day, my rv became disabled between Utah and Wyoming and required me to immediately bring it in for service . The closest Cummings service center was in the opposite direction. We contacted Custer's Gulch to explain our issues and indicated the Service center would not be able to work on our coach until Monday. Our reservations started on Saturday. The office person explained the cancellation policy and indicated we would lose our total cost for both sites. We weren't looking for a refund but asked for a credit that we could use at another time. No flexibility on there policy, no compassion on the current issues we were facing. It was a disappointment that they could not offer us a credit. This was an unexpected situation and not a "last minute we are changing our travel plans". I have stayed at many other campgrounds and the campground staff have also been helpful and flexible. This staff was not. I would be mindful of their policies prior to booking this campground if you are traveling to see Mount Rushmore.

One word describes this place, BAD! Most of the reviews stating how clean the place was are…read moreseveral years old. From the looks of the place, this may have been the last time it was cleaned. Bathrooms and showers were filthy. The sewer connection at our site was surrounded by dried toilet paper, so clearly someone had a spill. Not a major issue, but the gravel is too large so you have some rocks that are quite large, which makes it easy to trip if you're not careful. It looks like they were digging a new septic system opposite our site. WiFi is unusable and either doesn't show up as an option, or is too weak to connect (see photo). Also note that ATVs are very popular at this campground. Be advised if that's not your thing.

They also don't gouge the gas price. Make sure you stop say hi and check all the stuffed trophies.

Their small cabins have no running water however the bathrooms are only steps away. The bathroom building has showers and laundry available and they keep them squeaky clean. Very nice amenities. The cabins themselves come with AC, heat, Cable TV, microwave and mini fridge. Each cabin also has a provided picnic table, fire pit and BBQ pit. We brought our own propane cooktop and pop up shade. Both are not a necessity. The General store and gas station were super convenient and vendors fill the parking lot at rally time. The store has almost everything you might need while camping. The jerky and gourmet pickle selection was awesome! We also enjoyed the dried fruit. All available at the general store. Another great stay at a high class camping lodge!!! Be sure to check them out!!!

Thankfully, they allowed our family of 4 (in a truck camper) to use one of the 3 remaining group sites. The remaining 2 group sites filled in within 30 minutes of us arriving! I would highly recommend getting there earlier in the day to ensure a spot. There is also a KOA at the park entrance, so if you're scared of not having reservations, consider the KOA. Though definitely not as pretty of a site. The campground itself was very pretty, clean, and again - the amazing view of the tower! They do not sell firewood, so you can buy it at the KOA at the park entrance. I recommend!
