THE BLACK HILLS, SOUTH DAKOTA

THE BLACK HILLS, SOUTH DAKOTA
Less than 400 miles north and east of Denver are the Black Hills of South Dakota. My husband visited South Dakota when he was a youngster back in the late 60’s. I had never been up that direction and I very pleased with the easy drive up, and by the awesome location of our campsite at the Big Pine Campground, just two miles from Custer, South Dakota. This spot put us within easy commute all the local attractions and sites in this beautiful part of the U.S. We did our research on the areas, amenities and sites in and around the Black Hills area. We wanted to find the perfect spot, and started by contacting the South Dakota Tourism Office. Summertime is tourism time in South Dakota - - - make your reservations EARLY. We did our research and picked our site in FEBRUARY – for summer travel dates. We were fortunate to get one of the last five spots available at Big Pine Campground in Custer. Seriously . . . . . . make your plans and reservations early!!!
