Surrounded by State Parks and Lakes

South Dakota’s state parks are some of the most underrated public lands in the country, and the Black Hills puts you squarely in the middle of the best of them. Custer State Park alone covers 71,000 acres of pine forest, granite peaks, and open prairie — with a free-roaming bison herd, Sylvan Lake, and Iron Mountain Road all within its boundaries. Bear Butte State Park rises above the plains just outside of Sturgis, offering a hike that’s as historically significant as it is scenic. And the Black Hills National Forest stretches across 1.25 million acres as a backdrop to all of it. Black Hawk Creek RV Park & Cabins sits 45 minutes from Custer State Park and within easy reach of every trail, overlook, and open road in between. Book your site and get outside.
