Picnic Spring Campground - Custer National Forest

 


It's nice to break things up - after being in a busy equestrian campground, we can wind down at Picnic Spring Campground, which is a primitive campground in Custer National Forest.

About four miles of dirt road into the campground, but well maintained.

This campground is well maintained, little used. There are eight campsites, no reservations, no fees. There are two vault toilets - one in the front and one in the rear. There is a water pump near the front vault toilet.

No corrals provided, but you can set up your own corrals, high line, or use an electric fence.
Our horses were plenty happy munching on the grass in their portable corral, some shade from the nearby trees as well.

We opted for the pull through site at the far end of the campground. There was one other camper in the campground while we were there.
WIFI worked fine on our Winegard. I had two bars on my cell phone. Ari had zero bars.
No horse trails, but you are allowed to "pick your ride" by bushwhacking through the forest.
This is a beautiful campground and a good place to overnight if you are driving between Custer and points North.
