About Grizzly Bear
This campground lies beneath a canopy of oak and Ponderosa pine on the banks of Grizzly Creek. The site has retained much of its original Civilian Conservation Corps character, and offers visitors recreation and relaxation in Black Hills National Forest. Located along the Iron Mountain Road, it is between Mount Rushmore National Memorial and Custer State Park. A pavillion built by the Civilian Conservation Corps still stands and is available for use by campers.Grizzly Bear Campground ReservationsVisit Recreation.gov to make your campground reservation.Reserve Your CampsiteGrizzly Bear Campground LayoutSee the layout of the campground to find your perfect camping site.Download
