Step back in time!

Across the road on forest service land is a large pond that adults as well as children really enjoy!

Close to Mt. Rushmore & Crazy Horse

Camp Custer Log Cabins are the former quarters for the officers of Camp Custer.  Camp Custer was a CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) camp that housed hundreds of young men during The Great Depression of the 1930’s. For 8 years it served as the home of the US Army officers. One can walk across the road and see the foundations of the buildings that were once part of Camp Custer. 

In all of South Dakota these two ponderosa pine cabins are the only officers quarters that remain of the CCC camps.  There are two other buildings that were once part of these camps. One is at wind Cave and the other is on the fairgrounds at Huron. One of the cabins (Pine Crest) in which you will be staying is in the National Register of Historic Sites. The other (Sky View) is not registered due to a recent addition.
