1 night at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

What a beautiful space! We enjoyed a quick night here after a long day of travel, and I don’t know who enjoyed it most: us or the dogs. Just behind the campground we walked some of the trails of the Black Hills National land, and when we came back to camp, we appreciated the clean campground. The full hookups were appreciated, and the camp spaces large and spacious.

1 night at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

We were grateful for Garret instruction before we arrived. Found out how peaceful it was with no phone service. There was internet. Our stay was late in the season.. Woke up to see snow on the ground. The place was beautiful. We have already started talking about returning. In warmer weather next time. Thanks for the nice place to stay.

2 nights at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

Impeccably maintained park, great communication from the host, and a wonderful location right on the river surrounded by hills. Recommended.

Custer's Last Chance Rv Park

32 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Custer, SD

Custer's Last Chance RV Park & Campground Is about us and our dream come true. We spent 3 years putting a plan together so we could make the move to South Dakota. Finding the right piece of land wasn't easy and came with a few setbacks. We were lucky to find land in Custer with the French Creek running through the property. The creek features a couple of wide pools. The rest of the creek is fairly narrow with slow moving water. The kids will have a great time exploring the lower acreage. 2024 we added Full hookups to some of our sites, we still offer a few dry camping spots as well. Without you this dream wouldn't be possible. We hope you enjoy your stay!
