Buffalo everywhere!

Camped: March 6-8, 2021

When I saw the forecast of almost 70 in March I knew I had to go camping! I picked Game Lodge because it had electric and I wanted to run my heater at night.

It is right off the road, very open and would give no privacy if full but we were pretty much by ourselves. I was a little put off that it was 30 a night for off season but was pleasantly surprised when showers and bathrooms were open even when it was advertised that they were closed.

Did have road noise but because we were right on road we woke up to elk, Buffalo, deer and sheep right in our “backyard”. My kids loved it. Fun area even off season. Loved wildlife loop.

Firewood was almost impossible to find this time of year. Paid $40 for a small amount and had to drive into Custer.

Normally, I like camping far away from people and roads but the views and animals made up for it.

Bathrooms and water was warm and clean.

Found a couple of girls in the bathroom that were completely unprepared for winter camping. They didn’t even have a hat. So if you do go winter camping bring the right gear and you will have a blast.
