I couldn’t recommend this place any higher. It’s right in Custer so it’s a pe fect for a base camp to go exploring. The hosts are always kind, always helpful, My dog Pandora liked them. She’s ans excellent judge. It’s quiet and is a great location.

The site was basically in Custer on private property. A beautiful town, a lovely property and although not really a private spot as far as trees or division from the main house, we were not bothered by anyone and it was a very quiet area. The WiFi was an extra bonus after not having any for a couple of days and electricity for plugging in the coffee pot and toaster! Very nice hosts who were communicative and helpful.

40 ft fifth wheel
We had a fantastic week-long stay with Curt and Jackie! Their beautiful property and warm hospitality made our trip special. Jackie even surprised us with delicious homemade cupcakes—a lovely touch!
Navigating our 40-foot fifth wheel through the gate and into the RV site was easy, with no issues backing in (even briefly on Curt’s lawn). The 15/20 amp electric hookup met all our needs. As noted, running an AC isn’t recommended since it trips the GFCI outlet.
Fresh water was conveniently available from a spigot under the front stairs before parking. Their WiFi was fast and reliable, a lifesaver during our Starlink outage.
The location is central—just 3-5 minutes from downtown Custer. Ace Hardware nearby stocks a good selection of RV supplies; we replaced some adapters there.
After leaving, we used the Heritage Village Campground dump station about 10 minutes away. Dumping costs $5 (includes non-potable flush water), and fresh water is $5 extra. Pay at the office (GPS: 43.806109, -103.637695) before using the dump (GPS: 43.807089, -103.636157).
Tip: Enter Heritage Village from Hwy 385 via Medicine Mountain Rd (GPS: 43.802555, -103.638236). Avoid Village Ave due to rough roads.
We look forward to staying with Curt and Jackie again!
