Buffalo in Blue Bell Campground, Custer State Park, July 2011
Two male buffalo wandering through the Blue Bell Campground at Custer State Park, July 2011. They were followed by the old cowboy from the horse stables in the campground. he was running them off to clear the way for a trail ride that was about to head out. You can hear him yelling and his whip cracking, but it's hard to make out what he says in the video. They've both been whipped off the herd and they are not happy. He's smart enough to know that he's a lot quicker than I am. They can run about 45 mile an hour and they can be runnin' wide open goin' that way and when their front feet hit the ground they can be running wide open goin that way. Pound for pound they're the most athletic animal on earth. They're probably nine, ten years old. Oh, fourteen, fifteen years...unless something gets them out here.

Tara S.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Small, Family-Friendly and Close to Everything!
Our stay at Blue Bell Campground was one of the highlights of our recent cross-country road trip. With only 30 campsites suitable for tents or RVs, this was a nice spot to unwind after busy days within the park.
Unlike many of the other campgrounds in Custer, this one is not waterfront, so it is a bit quieter and more relaxed. Campsites are $21 (plus the entrance fee) for a standard tent site without hookups. Sites with electricity are $25, and camping cabins are $50 per night.
We stayed in one of the tent sites at the edge of the campground, so it was super quiet, but close to the amphitheater for ranger programs, as well as the bathhouse, and the Blue Bell Stables for trail rides.
There is so much to do in Custer State Park. We stayed for three days, but could easily have stayed longer. We hiked the Sunday Gulch Trail near Sylvan Lake, which was fantastic, drove all of the scenic drives, including the Needles Highway, The Iron Mountain Road, and the Wildlife Loop. We also swam in Legion Lake, which is the closest lake to Blue Bell, and canoed on Center Lake.
While we were there, we made friends with our camping neighbors, who all agreed that Blue Bell Campground was one of the nicest in the park. The campground hosts are incredibly nice and cell service was pretty good compared to other spots in the park.

BLACK HILLS CONVOY INVADES CUSTER PARK
In June, 2013 the MVPA Black Hills Convoy traversed Custer State Park. After touring Hot Springs, SD the main body proceeded directly north to Blue Bell lodge for the evening while the more adventurous 2nd Squad made a flanking movement entering Wind Cave thru its little used back road. Both groups saw antelope, buffalo and prairie dogs.
Most participants stayed in the cabins while Fred & I stayed in a camping cabin (costs about 1/3 of a normal cabin) which we found quite agreeable although these have no running water, bathroom, linens & blankets. (I brought my bedroll.) Water, bathrooms were but a ball throw away! We had one camper in the group that had not made reservations and was forced to camp elsewhere. Also one jeep load opted for the State Game Lodge were we met up with them over coffee the next morning after driving the French Creek and Wildlife Loop Roads. Following our group coffee break we all headed north on the Iron Mountain Road for Mount Rushmore including the 2 1/2 ton 6X6 truck w/trailer. While the Wildlife Loop and Iron Mountain Roads are not to be missed the absolute highlight of the entire trip has to be the Needles Highway!
The song is BLUE SPANISH EYES from 'Live at the Circle B' as sung by Bert Kaemfert & Eddie Synder and is with the permission of the Circle B Chuckwagon Show located in Hill City, SD.
The trip was so well received by the convoy's MVPA members that a return convoy is planned for June 5-20, 2016. For further information visit the Military Vehicle Preservation Association's web site.

Black Hills Horseback Ride
The Black Hills of South Dakota offers many memorable experiences including Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Crazy Horse Memorial, and Custer State Park ... And another one is going off road by taking a visually enjoyable horseback ride on trails safe for all ages ... like the one the USA Patriotism! crew did in the summer of 2015 with scenes from horseback.
