We scheduled our visit to the Black Hills during Sturgis annual motorcycle rally. Oh my! We found this campground and booked our site online through recreation.gov. Woohoo. The campground was clean with garage service and potable water. No hookups but super clean restrooms and great camp hosts. They shared some “must do’s” and helpful travel routes for the area. Of course it’s the Black Hills—-Mt Rushmore, Needles Highway, Pactola Rec area and a short drive to the Badlands. The area is beautiful. Although the campground is close to the highway and noisy (lots of motorcycles) it’s a short short drive to Crazy Horse Natl Memorial. A great spot to use as home base for a visit.

Just outside of Custer State Park and North of Crazy Horse. Small campground with no electric. Vault toliets were clean. Camp host were awesome! Next to highway, but noise after 7
8pm wasn't bad at all.

We were only going to stay one or two night here, but the camphost encouraged us to stay several more - we weren't disappointed! The campground and volt toilets are clean! The camphost was super nice - we enjoyed talking to her and her husband. This is on our list for our next trip to the area.

We were here 13 and 14 september 2022.
We come from the Netherlands. Campendium is very helpfull for us. So we want to help others. (Sorry if my english is not perfect)
We liked to hike in Custer Statepark and to visit Mount Rushmore.
We made a reservation, but without that there was also possibility.
Reservation costs $ 6,-. That makes the fee higher. But you have certainty.
A very nice campground, with shade and sun, what you like....
The campground is a bit close to the highway. But in de night there was not many traffic.
The host was very kind. People at the campground also.
We had good days here. I loved the little chipmunks!
No electricity or dump. Clean toilets.
Internet not bad, but also not very good.
Campground wil be closed 1 october. Lots of others are yet closed. We were happy Orreville was open!
No complaints, only pleasure here!

Oerville Campground is between the Crazy Horse Monument and Hill City so it is convenient to both Indian history and German food. Crazy Horse Monument however was a disappointment as it focused primarily on the two principles involved in first making the mountain sculpture happen. We were visiting the museum for Crazy Horse himself and there was only one corner of the entire place devoted to him. There was another small corner in an adjacent museum devoted to Sitting Bull and Wounded Knee. On the lower level below Sitting Bull were several Edward Curtis American Indian photographs which were stunning, as expected. Other than that it was mostly trinkets and retail junk for sale. The famous Native American Tacos on the restaurant menu were also hyped too much which resulted in another disappointment. But that’s us, and it appears most tourists want that sort of thing. Neighboring Hill City did provide a decent grocery store as well as the Alpine Inn which serves authentic German fare. But the cell phone service in Oerville Campground is awful, only one bar and it goes in and out. We stayed at this campground for two nights thinking we would need a couple days at the Crazy Horse Monument, but three hours walking the grounds and looking just about did us in. Our campground’s site #4 did provide both shade and sun. The tall pines certainly smelled great and the temperatures were cooler than in Custer State Park, and I am not sure why. No electricity at this campground, a few water spigots here and there, and clean vault toilets. No dump station. The camp host was great. Pet assessments cost two dollars per night and are collected on site. We paid a total of $18.00 per night which was pretty good considering.

We ran into a problem on the third day when we had to refill our water tank. The host told us we weren't allowed to connect our hose to the threaded faucet, we could only use the slick spigot, presumably because they want to make it as hard as possible to get water. I don't appreciate being treated like a water thief after paying for a campsite. From now on I'll carry a cut-off hose with hose clamps to connect to the USFS water spigots.

Campground is right on main road so easy to find and access. Our site was along a camp road but very large(could have accommodated a semi truck!). Picnic table and fire ring in woods next to our RV. Lots of mosquitoes but otherwise very nice. Camp host is super friendly. It is about 5 miles to Crazy Horse, 8 to Custer, 15 to Mt Rushmore, and 20 miles to Wind Cave. So, we stayed here to go to all those places and it worked great.
ATT: 1-2 bars without cell booster, 3-4 with

During these Covid times we had looked at 3 other FS campgrounds and everything was reserved. We were so happy to have this gem of a site. Stayed 3 nights and was able to see Custer state park, Badlands and Mt Rushmore. Will come back and most definitely would recommend. Hill city closer drive than Custer for ones needs.
