Our History

Camp Custer Log Cabins SD are the former quarters for the officers of Camp Custer SD, It was a CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) South Dakota Camp that housed hundreds of young men during The Great Depression of the 1930's. For 8 years it served as the home of the South Dakota US Army officers. One may walk across the road and see the foundations of the buildings that were once part of the Black Hills SD Camp.

In all of South Dakota these two ponderosa pine Log Cabins are the only officer's quarters that remain of the CCC Camp. There are two other Buildings that were once part of this Black Hills camp. One building is at Wind Cave and the other building is on the fairgrounds at Huron. One of the Cabins (Pine Crest Log Cabin) in which you will be staying is in the National Register of Historic Sites. The other (Sky View Log Cabin) is not registered due to a recent addition to the cabin. So if you're looking for a Lodge, Resort, Cabin or Cabins you found the right place!
