Sylvan Lake Campground
Sylvan Lake Campground is a beautiful campground near Sylvan Lake. It has both RV sites and tent sites. The campsites are spread out, secluded among the trees, and have running water, bathrooms and vault toilets. RV spots have electricity. The Sylvan Lake Store is near by, and there are hiking trails at the lake, and a nice trail from the campground to the lake. It truly is a beautiful place to visit and stay.
*****Note - due to the tunnels the only way you can get to Sylvan Lake Campground if pulling a camper or larger RV is by using SD Highway 89 north from US Highway 16A in Custer. There are tunnels on Needles Highway and Highway 87 coming off Highway 16/385 near Hill City.
The campground is within walking distance to the lake.
Big open spaces.
The tent section - you have to walk to get to your campsite - this is from the parking lot - you can see the picnic table in the background.
Our spot - just gorgeous.
Nice picnic area and large place to have a fire.
Beautiful trail to the lake and store.
Peaceful trail.
Neat rocks.

The new Sylvan Lake Store as of 2023.
At night we would walk the path and sit and see the sunset.
