Such a beautiful place! Convenient for visiting all of the points of interest in the central Black Hills area. Great campsites in a lovely forest and with cool rock formations. The lake is in a beautiful setting below the campground but is easily accessible for all sorts of water based enjoyment. The vault toilets were kept super clean and the campsites maintained well including mowing. The camp host couple were extremely helpful and friendly. Our stay at Bismark Lake has been one of our favorite locations and most enjoyable times if our trip to the Black Hills. We will definitely be back!

Dump station and water fill station are about a half hour away. Id plan accordingly, depending on the direction youre coming into Custer State Park.

I cannot say enough, good things about this campground. The sites are very large and very private. The scenery is exceptional! Our site was located near the lake, and the view was beautiful. The vault toilet was the cleanest we have ever experienced in our travels! Lastly, the current camp hosts were incredibly hospitable.

The hosts were such a pleasure to be with. Very clean vaults every day. They even came to see us off the night before we left. They would often stop by to see if there was any thing we needed. There were beautiful sunsets to capture on camera.The town of Custer is near by with nice restaurants and stores.

Beautiful campground. Only in for one night, but would come back! Hosts were great and knowledgeable about the Black Hills region.

Our family has been camping at Bismarck Lake for (4) generations. It is one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have ever been to. We will continue to camp there as long as we can.
