South Dakota Meetings & Events



Meetings | Weddings | Reunions

Seventy-one thousand acres of natural beauty and adventure await you and your group at Custer State Park Resort. Located a convenient 45 minutes from downtown Rapid City, South Dakota, Custer State Park is where granite spires tower over pristine lakes, clear mountain streams flow through unspoiled forests and the buffalo roam free.

Custer State Park Resort offers four distinctly different resorts. The State Game Lodge, listed on the National Register of Historic Places offers lodging facilities ranging from historic rooms used by President Coolidge and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, to rustic cabins and creekside homes. Sylvan Lake Lodge , overlooking Sylvan Lake and the granite outcroppings of Harney Peak, offers breathtaking views from cozy lodge rooms and rustic cabins. Blue Bell Lodge is a hideaway retreat with a western guest ranch flavor. Handcrafted log cabins are scattered around a lodge with dining and meeting facilities and the adjacent White Buffalo Center offers additional meeting and banquet space. Legion Lake Lodge is a lakeside lodge with cottages nestled in the pines, with swimming, fishing and paddleboating.

Create excitement for your socials and dinners by meeting on the lawn of the State Game Lodge, the Summer White House for Presidents Coolidge and Eisenhower. If you prefer a taste of the Old West, there's a hayride that will take you to a western chuckwagon cookout. Need a break in your meeting schedule? Take an exciting Buffalo Safari Jeep Ride into the backcountry of Custer State Park Resort or saddle up for a trail ride and a hopeful encounter with a band of bighorn sheep or herd of majestic elk. Visit our Activities Page for more details.

Families, corporate retreats, reunions, small meetings and conventions select Custer State Park Resort for the unique atmosphere and setting, the many things to see and do, and the friendly, professional staff that will insure the success of your event.
