Inside Custer State Park
The park itself features amenities for tent-only camping, RVs with hookups or no hookups, pet-friendly options, shady or full-sun spots and even spots for horse camping.

If you’re looking for something different, the park’s cozy studio cabins come with heat, air conditioning and furnishings. Reserve early online, as many sites book up before the busy summer season.
