Bearded Buffalo Resort near Custer, SD

The atmosphere, hospitality, and location of Bearded Buffalo are terrific. We visited with another couple and had ample room for privacy and lovely spaces to enjoy together. It's fresh and clean and a good place to rest after exploring the park and forest.

We had the pleasure of staying here last year. I am reviewing now because I still think of it and that means something. Great location for easy access to attractions. Good sized and immaculate sites. Will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

We enjoyed four nights in an RV site. The site are amply sized and spread apart, and clean with lots of grass at the sites. The park is conveniently located near Custer and Custer State Park. A spur of the Mickelson trail runs along the front of the property. We enjoyed meeting Don and Susie and spending some time with them.

We spent 2 weeks in a rv site that backed up to a small creek. Management/owners were very understanding and easy to work with when our plans had to be adjusted. Sites were well maintained, work camper/staff were outgoing and friendly, maintenance/lawn crew was mindful of starlink/cords, dark night sky, and it was a nice quiet home base for exploring the nearby attractions.

Clean and cozy cabins are perfect for a family retreat.

My family recently stayed here for a week-long stay near all the major sites in South Dakota. We adored our time in the Bearded Buffalo Cabin and loved how central the location was to all the surrounding national and state parks as well as the monuments. Very dog friendly and such a nice size dog park- we have three retrievers and they had enough space to run around and throw the ball which I rarely am able to say! The Coffee Truck was also amazing and I just had the best experience with the staff here (I wish I got their names as they deserve the shoutout). Overall, we would stay here again and cannot wait to plan another trip here.

We went to the Bearded Buffalo Visiting Store

I stayed in the RV site. The sites are very clean, included a picnic table and fire ring. The Shower House is amazing….. Great water pressure. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Very nice campground! Love the coffee shop. There are cornhole boards and other games out front by Bo the giant buffalo. Bo is super cool! The staff was very friendly and fun to talk to. The campground was peaceful and relaxing. The location was great.

This is our second time staying at this great place, the first was about 1 year ago. The place is just off Hwy 16A just inside of Custer. You can’t miss the tall bearded buffalo statue in the front. Our condo is called Custer’s Retreat. It is a 2 BR condo. The owners thought of everything. Beautifully appointed modern kitchen with everything you need for cooking…… pots and pans, oven baking sheets, utensils, etc. Cling wrap, parchment paper, tinfoil, coffee maker with coffee are there. 36 inch Blackstone grill in the back for added cooking variety. Bedrooms are very clean and comfortable. Bathrooms also very clean with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner for you to use. Washer and dryer on the first floor with detergent provided. Luxury vinyl plank throughout the condo with carpet in the bedrooms. Leather sofa and TV in the great room and a smaller TV in the master bedroom and upstairs bedroom. Back porch also boasts outdoor furniture and a fire pit for those nice nightly family gatherings. Beautiful views behind the condo where wildlife are present. Nice walking trails from the resort along Hwy 16A. Gift shop and coffee truck also available. This is the place where we will always stay in Custer. Smaller and larger units also available to rent. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!
