We are going to be visiting the area in July and have been able to get reservations at Sylvan Lake in Custer, however after speaking to some people that have been out that way before they indicate that we are too far away from Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and all the other sites. Since we have never been here before I have no idea and am no wondering if we made a bad choice in staying in Custer. Any thoughts while I still have time to make some changes. Thanks!!
Info on Custer Park Lodging
Sylvan Lake is very central to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and other sites. It%26#39;s my favorite place to stay in the Black Hills. SD87 from Sylvan down to US 16/385 is a little slow going since it is a narrow winding road. SD89 down to Custer is a faster road.
It%26#39;s not a place to stay if you want to be in a town as it%26#39;s about a 10-15 minute drive to either Hill City or Custer.
Keep in mind that ';Custer'; refers to the town of Custer. Sylvan Lake is in Custer State Park.
Info on Custer Park LodgingJust for clarification, there is a town of Custer and there is Custer State Park. Sylvan is in one of the most scenic parts of CSP. The roads to %26amp; from Sylvan, including the Needles Highway, are winding, but you are in the center of the Black Hills with gorgeous scenery.
If you want faster roads, try Hill City or Keystone.
