Learn more about Custer

Venture into the Black Hills where buffalo roam freely through Custer State Park's rolling meadows. The unfinished Crazy Horse Memorial towers impressively over the landscape – a work-in-progress since 1948. Jewel Cave National Monument reveals one of the world's longest cave systems, with calcite crystals that sparkle like diamonds under tour lights. Sylvan Lake offers granite-framed waters perfect for summer paddling. The 1881 Courthouse Museum provides a glimpse into frontier justice, while Wind Cave National Park features rare boxwork formations. Four Mile Old West Town Museum recreates frontier life with surprising authenticity. Arrive in June for the Buffalo Roundup when cowboys herd 1,300 bison in a thundering spectacle.

Under Canvas Mount Rushmore

Keystone

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our week at Under Canvas Mt. Rushmore in a Stargazer tent complete with a window over our heads in the king-sized bed to gaze at the stars; an in-tent private toilet, sink and shower; cozy, warm comforters for chilly nights; and a wood-burning stove with wood generously supplied by the wonderful Under Canvas staff, who never have to be asked for more. The wood just magically is replenished and stacked on the porch when needed. We especially want to thank Daniel, the guest relations...

AmericInn by Wyndham Hill City Mt Rushmore

Hill City

10/10 Exceptional

Could not recommend more. The hotel was clean and had a nice hot breakfast. The service at the front desk was above and beyond. We mostly saw Mario, who was always happy to greet us, no matter the hour or what he was doing. The location could not be better. The town of Hill City itself has so much to offer. It is also a short distance from all the local attractions we saw (Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Rapid City, Bear Country, Sylvan Lake, etc). We will definitely be back!

Lantern Inn

Hill City

10/10 Exceptional

The Lantern Inn is not a big chain hotel, which is part of its charm. Nestled in the Black Hills, the views from our balcony were breathtaking! The hotel is located near the end of the town... quiet, but still walking distance to shops and restaurants. Our room was clean and spacious, with a nice bench outside our door on the balcony to take in the scenery... but the best thing about this place is the staff. Family-owned, I assume, this hotel has the nicest, most genuinely friendly front desk...
