Bismark Lake Campground

Bismark Lake Campground offers well-spaced campsites with scenic lake views in the Black Hills National Forest, featuring picnic tables, campfire rings, vault toilets, and drinking water (no electrical hookups).

The campground provides direct access to the lake via a boardwalk with fishing piers and a boat launch for non-motorized watercraft, making it ideal for both anglers and paddlers.

Located 5 miles east of Custer, SD, sites cost $30/night with a $2 pet fee, and reservations can be made through Recreation. gov.
