This campground lived up to its name of "Big Pine" which were throughout the property. Level campsites and clean restrooms of course. Our campsite was adjacent to national forest, and we were delighted. There are many other wonderful sites in this campground and after our three day stay we picked out several potential sites for next year. Location is convenient for exploring the area. This was our first visit, and we picked it based on other reviews. We were not disappointed.
My wife and I stayed in this trailer when we visited Custer to celebrate our anniversary. We really looked forward to straying in this trailer because we enjoy camping and we are looking to transition from tent camping to a trailer. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!!! The trailer was very clean and ready for us to enjoy for 3 nights. We had clean towels, wash cloths, dinnerware, and coffee waiting for us. The host, Bill, took the time to show us how to use the different features of the trailer and even offered up a bottle of wine to help us celebrate our anniversary. Since we are not drinkers, Bill gave us 2 free bundles of wood which was perfect since we hadn't purchased any yet. Bill is an awesome host and owner of this campground and let me say, he and his staff do a phenomenal job keeping the campgrounds and bathrooms very clean. If your in the area or you are planning to visit the area, especially for Mt. Rushmore, we highly recommend Big Pine Campgrounds and the Tiny Retro Trailer. They offer camping options from tents to RVs, a game room, and washers and dryers. You will not be disappointed!!!
Loved this campground! Great WIFI, large sites all underneath ponderosa pines. Nice/clean shower house/bathrooms. Staff was very friendly and so accommodating. Great location to Custer Park and all the Black Hills attractions. Very quiet peaceful stay. Highly recommend and hope to return again soon.
We stayed at Big Pine for 6 nights. Location in Custer was great. Easy access / drive 🚗 distance to the major attractions, MT. Rushmore, Jewel Cave, the Mammoth 🦣 site, etc. RV sites were nestled in the trees and had lots of space between sites. A very relaxing place to stay.
This is an awesome campground. We have been all over the US and this us the best. Great WIFI, large sites- even for the Big rigs. All sites nestled in the ponderosa pines. Amazing bathroom, 3 large showers. The check in lady couldn't be nicer. Close to Black Hills attractions. Highly recommend to stay here
