Finding a room in Wind Cave

The park has no lodging inside the park boundaries. The town of Hot Springs is about 7 miles from the southern entrance of the park along US-285, and provides full services, including lodging. The city of Custer is about 17 miles from the western entrance on US-385. Both locations are good choices for visiting the area.

We offer two methods of finding lodging in the area. The first is a search on Expedia. This will give you a good pricing comparison, and a number of property options. Simply enter one of the suggested destinations, your expected dates, number of people, and click "search". After the search we list some specific properties with details and a link to book directly with the property. The lodging is listed in order of proximity to the closest entrance to Wind Cave National Park and includes a link for directions from property to park entrance.
