The Grey Wolf - Camper by Mount Rushmore/Custer SP

Welcome to Cloud Nine Camping—a 33-acre haven just 6 miles southeast of Keystone (Mount Rushmore) and 2 miles from Custer State Park!

Experience unforgettable moments exploring scenic trails, marveling at local landmarks, or soaking in nature. By day, hike or sightsee, and by night, roast s’mores around the campfire under the starry Black Hills sky.
The space
