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.

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!

Staying at Isa's Plenty Star Ranch was the perfect first time using hip camp. She was out to meet us when we arrived and after a quick run thru we were on our own. The property is beautifully maintained, bath house and bathroom were very clean. We were able to one of the camp fire pits for cooking on our last night. There's a road that goes up the hill which is a great sunset walk to enjoy the wildlife. Thanks Isa!
