    Our electric-only campsite at Sylvan Lake Campground near Custer, SD (Sep. 2017)
    Jenni M.

    There are so many campgrounds in the Black Hills and Custer State Park from which to choose... we got lucky when we decided on Sylvan Lake Campground. We reserved a site in May 2017. I highly recommend reserving months in advance as it was almost full the entire time we were there. For three nights and electric hookups only, our grand total was $87.21. Pretty decent for very clean campgrounds, hot showers, flush/vault toilets, and drinking water. OTHER PERKS - tent pad - campfire ring w/ grill - so quiet and peaceful most of the time - relatively short drive to scenic routes plus Mt. Rushmore, Hill City, Keystone, Custer, etc. - trash containers & recycle bins Up the road is the "Sylvan Lake General Store at Custer State Park Resort." They have cool hats, ice, and the ordinary small market items. Debit/credit cards accepted. CONS - no RV water hookups & no dump station nearby - we never met the host... we think he purposely avoided people which is fine, but just don't put a note on my camper saying "sorry" I missed you. Lol TIPS - go for a walk (w/ some minimal trudging) around Sylvan Lake - it's awesome! - use the dump station & refill your RV at Custer Crazy Horse Campground 2017 Yelp Challenge 99/100

    Such a beautiful place. Family friendly with a lot of things to do, trails, swimming, fishing, and you can rent kayaks.

    Our go to place in the Black Hills. Stayed here for the 3rd time over July 4th. Beautiful area…read more Nice sites. Clean. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the buffalo burger / brat BBQ and fireworks watch party!!

    We are currently on a two week rv trip and had reservations for 5 days for two camp sites at…read moreCuster's Gulch. It would have been our first time at Custer and the national memorial. 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.

    Jerry takes customer service to a whole other level. He is so professional and old school with the…read moreway he treats his guests. It's truly a lost art and this man is keeping it alive. 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!

We were NOT disappointed. Plenty of room in the pull through, the whole facility was super clean, nice hosts, great location. We will definitely stay here next time we're in the area!
