Guest Reviews
- Nancy (10/5): - Great area out back of the cabins to let the dogs play, get some exercise. And very clean. Enjoyed sitting outside, the view was good. Room was clean, beds were comfortable. Close enough to town and Parks, yet far enough to be quiet. Would stay again and recommend.
- Edward (10/5): - This was nice everything, I will stay again next year.
- Kristi (10/5): - Clean and very convenient. Close enough to town for restaurants and shopping, but away from the noise and traffic. Lovely quiet setting.
- Steven (10/5): - It was nice.
- stephanie (6/5): - Pros: Clean and the beds are small but comfortable. Very quiet and close to custer state park ( the reason for the visit the Buffalo Round Up) Cons: No silverware or paper towels, or napkins 2 glasses no plates even though it has a kitchen. We had a problem with big flies and I called the management and he said he could not do anything! The cottage had no broom so after scouring the place under the garbage bucket was a fly swatter! Information he could have given me! Just poor communication
- Gilbert (10/5): - Enjoyed the cozy cabin. Great fire pit. The only issue was no stove top
- Lisa (10/5): - Beautiful and peaceful place. I'm so glad we stayed here:)
- DIANNA (8/5): - Nice quiet place, really liked the fire pit. Wish they had a couch to sit on, if you wanted to watch tv, you have to sit on a bed.
- Katherine (10/5): - The cabin was very clean and nicely tucked away. Very peaceful.
- Nicole (10/5): Great cabin vacation! - Our stay was great. The cabin was clean and set back from the road. A quiet little place to relax and get away. Thank you for sharing it with us!
- Katherine (10/5): - This was the perfect example of what a vacation should be. Relaxing, quiet and peaceful. No cell service makes it even better. Life should always be so simple.
- Jay (10/5): - We loved our stay at the Cabin! My kids loved the fire pit. We wish we had brought meat for the grills outside. Well maintained, great comfy beds, good towels. Lovely view out windows of pond and horses nearby. Would definitely stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Initially thought the location of the cabins was a little odd, but when got in and saw views it was wonderful. Woke up and went to sleep to deer playing in the fields each day we were there
- Lori (10/5): - Beautiful place and scenery!
- Julie (10/5): - We loved this little cabin! It was perfect for our family of 5. Close to Custer State Park and Wind Cave. Very clean and cozy.
- Tiffany (10/5): - Nice quiet, and clean. Would book again.
- Blue (8/5): - They could have had a little cook space.
- Jennifer (10/5): Loved Cabin number 5 - Loved the cabin, looks nicer and bigger than the pictures we saw online. No grate for campfire, no dishes or cooking items other than coffee, coffee maker, coffee cups, and glasses. Adequate amount of towels, trash bags, firewood. Full size fridge/freezer and large sink with grilling utensils also provided. The queen bed is in its separate bedroom and two full beds in family room area, table, and six chairs. Two televisions with satellite. There is WiFi, enough to get emails and check websites but not for streaming. We enjoyed it a lot.
- Ian (10/5): - Awesome place for the family. A nice little getaway. Perfect location for Jewel cave and Wind cave. Would definitely stay again.
- Celeste (10/5): - Great location for visiting the Black Hills! Very clean! Check in and out were easy!
- Kristy (10/5): - We loved being out of town a bit. In the country feel. It was super quiet, even with the other cabins booked. We were comfortable and loved the view of the pond, deer, birds.
- Rick (10/5): Perfect for our little family - My family spent 4 nights and it was wonderful! The cabin was very clean, the beds were comfy, the towels provided were plush, and the grounds were well maintained. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. If we're able to go back to visit the Black Hills, we will stay at these cabins again.
- vicki (10/5): - Cabin 4 was very nice. It is conveniently located just 4 miles outside of Custer. It was the most peaceful, beautiful, relaxing area you could ever imagine. There were 3 beds which were very comfortable. There wasn't really a kitchen, although there was a nice sized fridge, microwave, sink, coffee maker, but not much counter space. That made it a little cramped. But everything was clean & comfortable. Where the TV was located would be hard for more than 2 people to watch TV. We brought in 2 chairs, but we weren't there to watch TV anyway. Overall, we would highly recommend & will certainly go back again.
- Sandra (10/5): - Very comfortable and clean. Centrally located and close to all the areas we wanted to visit.
- Rickie A (10/5): - This place is so comfy. I love coming here. Its always booked, and its not hard to see why.
- Brenda (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay. Very quiet location and close enough to many attractions. It would be nice to know there isn't any silverware or dishes. The glassware was nice to have though. Would definetly stay again.
- Julie (6/5): - Cabbage n was clean and cute. I had cabin 2 that sleeps 5 I do not recommend that. It is very tiny and you are on top of each other. I would g back again just different cabin
- Barbara (8/5): Don’t pass this place up! - Great place to stay if you want nature and peace and quiet but is still close to coffee shops, restaurants and shopping.
- Zachary (10/5): - Beautiful property and great communication!
- DONNA (10/5): - Spacious cabin conveniently located to 3 National Parks/Monuments & 1 State Park. Not too close in town, but not too far away. It wasn't unusual to see deer grazing in the fields nearby & the geese, & mallards enjoying the ponds & lake. The staff were always helpfull & friendly even when I made an after hours call. Would love to stay here again....
- Daniel (8/5): - This was a great place to stay. The cabin was wonderful, the quiet was excellent, and it was easy to access. I would have given 5 stars, but some basic amenities like hand soap and shower soap should be provided or it could be clearer that these basics will not be there. An extra blanket for anyone staying during the colder months would also be appreciated. Other than that, I loved it!
- Renae (10/5): - This was the perfect little cabin for our weekend get away!! Will be back in the future. Thank you :)
- Jason (10/5): - Great place to relax and enjoy the view. Would definitely stay again.
- Carol (8/5): - Clean, quiet cabin a few miles from town!
- Carol (10/5): - We are three senior women who travel together often. We loved this cabin with its three queen size beds, large table for eating and playing cards, serene setting and proximity to the city of Custer with restaurants and a grocery store and, especially, Custer State Park which was the reason we were in the area. We recommend for singles, couples and families looking for a clean, comfortable, well-cared for and spacious place to stay.
- Terri J (10/5): Excellent - Paradise
- John (10/5): Will not disappoint! - Absolutely perfect! We will be going back. The cabins were beautiful, clean and cozy. The fire pit had lots of wood and was relaxing. There was no internet and phone service was minimal but it was exactly what we both needed!! Thank you!
- Kevin (10/5): - Cabin was well equipped and comfortable. The deer outside every night and morning was a pleasant bonus. We stayed 7 nights, would have loved a broom or vacuum to clean the floor up. We’ll stay here again.
- Erik (10/5): Piece of perfection - Brilliant, what an amazing view, beautiful area and so close to Custer and everything going on around the area. The property was perfect, do we'll put together and lovely to stay in. So easy to check in and out and super peaceful. Also worth noting cell signal was good enough in the area!
- Cole (8/5): - I really did enjoy this cabin. My only issue there is no oven so you can’t cook forcing you to eat out or barbecue only.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Family getaway - Everything was great, fully stocked with wood, dishes, and coffee, clear communication and comfortable stay!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable. Quiet location
- Verified traveler (8/5): Cozy - Excellent location, cabins could be cleaned a bit better and the beds are awful! Also, cleaning lady came before we were checked out and didn’t even knock to see if we were still in there!
- Melissa (10/5): - Very nice cabins. Super clean, close to amenities.
- Tessa (10/5): - Best place ever. Extremely well cared for property off the beaten path. Small pond for catch and release fishing, fire wood provided, and tons of wild life to see in the evening. We love staying here.
- Chris (10/5): - One of my favorite places to stay… ANYWHERE! My kids favorite trip of the year.
- Vicky (10/5): Custer stay July 17 - 21 2024 - This was better than we expected. Next time we are in the area we are going to stay at Gold Camp Cabins! It was wonderful!
- Rickie A (10/5): Nice little hidden nugget - Easy check in, easy check out. Quiet and clean. No internet service which was exactly what i needed. I will be coming back here again.
- Wendell (10/5): - lots of space for pets
- Kathleen (10/5): - Beautiful, well built log cabin. Cozy, quiet and clean. Refrigerator with freezer, but no indoor cooking facilities other than a coffeemaker — with coffee provided. Weber charcoal grill available. We particularly appreciated the boatload of dry split firewood for the fire pit! Dark sky showed us magnificent astrological productions each evening. Convenient Black Hills location just 4 miles west of downtown Custer. Great spot. Don’t let the lack of cellular or wi-fi stop you. It’s only a minor inconvenience; signals available in town. You should stay here!
- Timothy (10/5): Absolutely Wonderful! - Our stay at Gold Camp Cabins was absolutely wonderful. Our family of five traveled to South Dakota from Texas and booked here because it was affordable and we liked the idea of having a cabin to ourselves instead of a hotel room. We stayed for four nights, and we were really thankful that we stayed here the whole time. It was convenient to everything we visited (We saw everything we could from Devil’s Tower in the west to Badlands National Park in the east). The cabin was so clean and well constructed. Though it was cozy, it was absolutely perfect for us. Each of us had a bed, and with the kitchenette and eating space, we were able to do breakfast in the cabin and prepare lunch everyday. Our kids loved playing volleyball out back, and we were impressed with how well-kept the lawn was. We had to call the office a couple of times during our stay, and they were immediately responsive both times. When we left, we felt like we were leaving our home away from home…and we commented that if we ever visit South Dakota again, this is where we would want to stay.
- Francisco (10/5): - Great place to spend with family
- Rachel (10/5): - Very beautiful and peaceful!
- Jamie (10/5): - Perfect for our family!
- Amy (10/5): - We just spent 4 nights here, and we were thoroughly impressed! We loved the private fishing pond, the quiet location, and the fact the ample firewood was already provided. The cabin was clean, and everything we needed. We were worried that with 13 and 11 yo kids, that they would not like the fact there was no internet, but it didnt bother any of us. In fact, it never mentioned once. We will definitely be back!
- Amy (10/5): - We had a great stay at Gold Camp Cabins!
- Kelli (10/5): - Great place to stay
- Alexander (10/5): - Great place to stay while visiting the area. A big plus that we could leave our dogs at the cabin while we were out and about. The stocked fishing pond has little perch that are fun to catch and release. Each cabin has its own fire pit with plenty of fire wood.
- louise (10/5): Awesome cabin getaway - I would definitely stay again. Great location. So relaxing to sit outside and watch the ducks, geese and birds. Perfect log cabin feel inside with comfortable beds and good shower. Grill, picnic table and even fire pit outside. Would highly recommend.
- Jeremy (10/5): - A very peaceful cabin surrounded by wildlife. A town with all you might need is only four miles away, yet you feel like you’re way out in the country. Fridge & freezer, indoor and outdoor sets of table and chairs, grill, wood for fire pit, coffee & coffee pot and much more. Three bedrooms and full bathroom. A landline phone just for the cabin itself. Pets are on option too.
- louise (10/5): Awesome cabin getaway - I would definitely stay again. Great location. So relaxing to sit outside and watch the ducks, geese and birds. Perfect log cabin feel inside with comfortable beds and good shower. Grill, picnic table and even fire pit outside. Would highly recommend.
- Jessica (6/5): - The cabins and grass area where cabins are very nice. The location did not like. It was like in a dumpy area around a old ran down western place and a log home manufacturer on other side. Its major dissapointment when you think its in a beautiful place in Custer by the pictures.
- Philip (8/5): - The area was clean and quiet. No issues from the other guests. Just natures sounds!
- Thomas (8/5): - Really should have wi-fi available. It would be different if the location wasn't so close to town. Drive to the end of the driveway to get cell phone coverage. I love the property and the acess to the National Forrest but it makes it hard to choose this property for future trips.
- Curt (10/5): - It served the purpose of our stay. We were out hunting and the cabin was a nice place to come back to and relax after a long day of hiking. Nice and quiet
- Julia (10/5): - Fully furnished and BEAUTIFUL cabin!
- Karen (10/5): Will stay here again! - The cabin we stayed in fit our needs to for the weekend. Clean and quite.
- Susan (10/5): - We absolutely loved the cabin AND the fact that we could have our dogs with us. The cabin had everything we needed. Bathroom and kitchen were modern and the hot water was abundant. This is a terrific place to stay if you are visiting the Black Hills area.
- Lindsay (10/5): - We loved this place so much the first time we stayed here that we came back with our whole extended family. We love the catch and release pond and spent hours fishing. We also really enjoy being completely unplugged from our phones and devices since there is no wifi or cell service. The cabins are clean and the property managers are responsive. We also really appreciated the supplied firewood, charcoal grill, grilling utensils, and large fridge that allowed us to make all our meals at the cabin. These cabins are the perfect place to get away, unwind and reconnect with family in a beautiful, quiet setting that is still close enough to other black hills attractions. We can’t wait for our next annual trip!
- Angelene (10/5): - We had an amazing time in this hidden gem! Stayed for 5 nights and it’s not too far from the placed we wanted to see in Custer and nearby attractions. The cabin is very cozy, the pictures are not updated as it was better when saw the place in person. We would definitely stay here again!
- Alyssa (10/5): - Wonderful accommodations. Can access public land from the property. Great location for hunters of the Back Hills.
- Steve (10/5): - Great cabin just West of Custer. Clean and tidy. We enjoyed the fire pit one night and used the charcoal grill 2 nights. Cabin has limited TV channels but we really weren't there for that. I wish the cabins had internet access. Kinda of a bummer to have to drive towards Custer to get any signal. I would recommend these cabins. Great location and beautiful back yard.
- Dianne (10/5): - Location was convenient to Mount Rushmore and other sites in the Custer area. Very clean and quiet.
- MARK L (10/5): - Peace and Quiet
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Wonderful cabin, would have been better if not for the double bed in the dining room.
- Maureen (10/5): - These cabins are beautiful, so peaceful, able t watch deer in the evening! plenty of wood for fires at night. Cabins are beautiful, showers hot with plenty of towels, TV for those who need it, the only thing I would change is a small stove to cook breakfast on. The cabins were very clean had coffee maker, microwave, big refrigerator with a weber grill for grilling. Heaters worked great; beds comfy. We had a great time!!! Peaceful and viewing the stars at night was outstanding.
- ben (8/5): - Only negative was that there is no wifi or even cell phone reception.
- Michelle (10/5): Will stay again - Amazing stay! Comfortable beds, very clean, cozy and great location!
- VIRGIL (10/5): - Very nice and peaceful stay.
- Steve (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Cabin was clean and comfortable. The grill and firwood were provided and a nice touch. We look forward to staying again.
- Lynnette (10/5): - These are very nice little cabins, small in some places, but very pleasant and beds were comfy!
- Tessa (10/5): - This quiet, small small property was exactly what we needed. You got to enjoy being in the hills and you didn’t feel like you were just a small jaunt off the big way, complete secluded to outdoors while being. Cozy, clean cabins. We will be back again next year!
- Don (10/5): - Gold Camp Cabins is truly a gem of a place to stay! A true log cabin with all the homey feels, including your own personal firepit that comes with its own stack of firewood. We got the back to nature experience with the comforts of home! It is jut close enough to amenities being 4 miles to town, groceries, shops, and restaurants while not being stacked one on top of the other! ***Note: wifi and cell service are almost non-exist so be prepared to disconnect and enjoy your surroundings! We will definitely be back to visit!
- Tamara (10/5): - The cabin was exactly what we needed, quaint and quiet and a great place to be after our touring.
- Tara (2/5): Choose a different place. - The cabin was very clean, however, the rooms are very small and cramped. It is difficult for an average sized adult to maneuver in the very small bathroom. The beds are insanely uncomfortable. The fire alarm intermittently went off during our stay. We attempted to reach the hotel staff, but were unable to. We left a day early because ot was so uncomfortable and cramped. We tried a couple more times to reach the hotel staff. There is no message on the answering service to let you know you called a hotel. We did not leave a message for this reason. When we finally reached an employee, she was very rude amd hung up on me.
- Phileana Brown (10/5): - Very nice property. Seemed private even though cabins were near each other.
- Emalee (10/5): - When we first pulled up we were a little worried because there is a logging company right in front of the property; however, once we got down the to the cabin all of our worries vanished. It was very quiet, the cabins are positioned so that you look at the national forest, it felt very private and homey, like you expect a log cabin to feel. Everything we needed was right in the cabin. We also appreciated that we didnt really have to check in or out, so it felt even more private and like we were at home. We reallt enjoyed our stay, i encourage anyone looking at this property to go ahead and book it.
- Carol (10/5): - Second time staying here and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Custer after discovering Gold Cabins.
- Mary (10/5): STAY HERE!! - Loved it here! Beautiful property! Such kind owners! When we come back to the area, we will stay here again.
- Chris (10/5): - One of the best trips I’ve taken in a while, and the cabin was a big part of it. Kids LOVED fishing in the pond and really enjoyed the old school feel of the cabin
- Ross (10/5): - Very quiet, scenic and clean. The staff are excellent as well.
- Linda (10/5): Great place to stay. - Our second time staying in this cabin. We really enjoyed it. We brought a new dog, and it was great not worrying about barking bothering our neighbors, although she really didn't bark much. The cabin was clean and quiet. It is off the road, so people don't even notice it. It has a very pretty pond with geese and deer can be seen in the mornings. We will stay there again.
- Jim (10/5): - Great cabin-nice people
- Jaden (10/5): - Great cabins, very clean, nice quiet area!
- Jeremy (10/5): - Beautiful cabin, very peaceful setting.
- Kelsey (8/5): - The buildings are very beautiful and well done and I liked the ease of everything
- John (10/5): - Everything was great except 2 small things: 1) A light by the eating table would be helpful as it is dark. Something that could be attached to a log and plugged into an outlet. 2) A 10 cup coffee pack is too big.
- John (10/5): Great place to stay. - So much fun to stay on this beautiful cabin!
- Sally (10/5): - The location was very quiet and safe. We were able to exercise our dog off leash safely. The cabin was perfect for us size-wise (2 adults and large dog). We didn't need the extra 2 twin beds that were in the loft so they didn't take up floor space. Cabin had glasses and mugs but no dishes or eating utensils; maybe with COVID that is less important but would have been nice to know. Not walking distance to restaurants but a short drive to Custer. We would definitely stay here again.
- Cheryl (10/5): - Love this place. I only wish it was kept a secret to keep for myself.
