Cabins in South Dakota

Name: South Dakota
Address: South Dakota
Rating: 4.7545

If it’s your first time camping in South Dakota, you’ve probably come for the headline acts—iconic views of Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial, followed by an unforgettable hike through the dramatic canyons of the Badlands National Park. For repeat visitors, there’s plenty to explore beyond the big three, and opting for a cabin rental means a serious upgrade from tent camping, but still with direct access to the wilderness. Check into a luxury lodge in the Custer State Park, opt for a cozy log cabin on the cusp of Wind Cave National Park, or head into the Black Hills National Forest to enjoy miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails. When the summer temperatures heat up, head upstate to the lakeside cabins of Roy Lake State Park or rent a cabin with a view of the cliffs in the Palisades State Park.

WELCOME TO BEAVER LAKE CAMPGROUND IN CUSTER, SD Come join us in our beautiful 19-acre pine-filled, rolling terrain campground in Custer, South Dakota.

Have fun in our heated pool. We are conveniently located just 3.5 miles from the town of Custer, South Dakota. We are 30 minutes from Custer State Park, 22 minutes from Mt. Rushmore, 10 minutes from Crazy Horse Monument, and 9 minutes from Jewel Cave National Monument. The beauty of Custer State Park and the infamous Needles Highway can be very busy for campers, which is why many of our guests choose to stay with us at Beaver Lake Campground. Our central location and peaceful setting will put you very close to all of the amazing things to see and do in the Black Hills (Paha Sapa in the Lakota language) of South Dakota. We are open from April 1 to November 1. Pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The water slide closed. Wonderful News! As of 6/4/22, we have a brand new park-wide Wi-Fi system. Guests dependent on WI-Fi for work will need their own system. Our rural infrastructure isn’t equivalent to big-city Wi-Fi. A WARM WELCOME, FROM THE OWNERS As the owners of Beaver Lake Campground for the past several seasons Julian and Kachina Starr are amazed at how fortunate they are to have purchased this very special campground. The Black Hills area is spectacular with so many things to do and see. You could spend a month here and still not see it all. The summer weather is perfect with warm but not hot days and cool summer nights due to the 5,300-foot elevation. Perfect for evening campfires. Living and working in the Black Hills National Forest is incredible. They feel very happy to be in such calm, peaceful surroundings. Julian and Kachina have accomplished many updates, and improvements in the time they have been here. Everything from not-so-exciting infrastructure, well pumps, electrical upgrades, painting, swimming pool pump, etc., and have attempted to give this beautiful campground a more inviting atmosphere, comfortable seating on the office patio, beautiful flowers, unique pinecone art, upgrades to the cabins, mini-fridges in all cabins, new mattresses, electrical improvements and more. The Starr’s 25-year experience in the RV business in Gold Beach, Oregon, and Durango Colorado has given them lots of warm memories and some funny stories too. They look forward to many more great guest experiences greeting and serving old and new friends.

3 nights at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

We had a wonderful stay at Bear Den. We stayed three nights in the Lil Bear Cabin with a family of five and a dog. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep and there was plenty of space inside the cabin. Tammy went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The cabin was cozy, the pavilion was a wonderful spot to wind down in the evening, and the bathrooms/showers were very clean. The location was great and close to so many attractions. It was a great base camp for Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Needles Highway, and so much more.

This place is amazing! We actually extended our stay here the rest of the week! It’s close to all the amazing riding this area has to offer. And Tammy is sooo sweet! She always checks on us if we need anything and bends over backwards for you! First night we got there she actually brought us dinner because she knew we had been on the road for 2 days straight. I will be coming back and feel like I made a new friend!

Weekend Trip to The Specialty Crop

Me and my husband and my grandson were passing through here on our way home to Missouri. We had been out two weeks and stayed many places, but this was definitely my favorite Katie Chris and the kids were so awesome. They played with my grandson with their own toys even gave him a bike to take home as we were leaving definitely recommend this place to anybody and everybody you will not regret it. I may just have to go up there just to get away for the weekend and stay again.

3 nights at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

This was the BEST place we have stayed in a long time! Bear Den Cabins and Camp was the friendliest, cleanest, comfortable rental. Tammy greats you upon arrival and gives a tour of the grounds, which includes the cleanest bathrooms and showers. A washer and dryer are available, and ice is available for campers to use. The cabins and tents are extremely comfortable. The beds are great! Two pavilions are available to grill in, or sit and talk to other campers if you choose. The only thing that I would change is that they move the camp to New York. But we will drive 1700 miles again to stay there. It’s so convenient to Custer State Park, Needles Highway, Iron Mountain Highway, Sylvan Lake. If you’re lucky, you might come up on some kids selling iced tea during your travels. We can’t say enough about Bear Den Cabins and Camp. You definitely would enjoy your stay.

Weekend Trip to The Specialty Crop

We stayed at the Specialty Crop on a night with an epic lightning storm! Katie was so sweet to make sure we felt safe, and offered to let us hunker down with them in the basement if needed. We just got to (safely) enjoy the show from the porch. We were lucky to sample their delish homemade bread and leave with fresh eggs! Our girls loved it!

I can't recommend this place enough. It's one of those places that is so great, you want to keep it to yourself. And at the same time you want to shout it from the mt tops! Tammy and Tim are fabulous hosts that know the area really well. They have created a beautiful little spot with many amenities. It's cozy, inviting and so clean!

My husband and I were in disbelief of how good the service was here. You just cannot find experiences like this anymore. I felt like it was a place straight out of the 90s. So much to do everything was so clean. It was awesome. The pool was warm. They loved the gems and mining. It was basically 15 minutes to everything you could wanna do between seeing bison and Sullivan Lake and tons of hikes.
