Entrance sign for Bismarck Lake

Bismarck Lake CG is located on Rt 16-1 four miles east of Custer. It is just inside Custer State Park, which normally charges a $10/vehicle entrance fee; however, if you tell them you're going to Bismarck Lake, then you don't have to pay. The CG has 23 sites on a hillside overlooking Bismarck Lake.

It was a close call getting a site here on a Monday afternoon in mid-June.
