Weekend Trip to Camp Custer in Star Valley

Peaceful and quiet location close to town. The stars were beautiful and level, comfortable ground. Flexible with last minute booking. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Black Elk Resort

The park was well kept, pristine, had beautiful surroundings and close to the attractions I wanted to see.

So easy to access and directions were easy to follow as well. We hope to get back when we can spend more time!

Weekend Trip to Camp Custer in Star Valley

We loved how remote this site is. It was quiet & peaceful! The black hills are beautiful! We will be back again & I would highly recommend Kurt & Randee’s land!

The place was beautiful! Garrett’s is an amazing host. Really can’t say enough good things about him. I’m looking forward to coming back next year. Absolutely recommend it!

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.

Redwater Revival Campground

4 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · SD

Book a peaceful and beautiful site on a private creek. The Redwater Revival Campground joined Hipcamp and was open during the 2020 summer season. Herb met and accommodated many wonderful guests and had a blast doing it. The red bluff in the background was a very strategic vantage point for early Indigenous Americans for hunting game that roamed the creek bottom. The rest of this exciting story will have to be heard when you get here. The Redwater Creek is full of Brown and Rainbow trout. They are sneaky little buggers that can actually hear your footsteps when you are fishing along the bank. Please make sure that you stay with us for some very restful mesmerizing sleep along our part of the creek at the Redwater Revival Campground.

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!
