June is National Camping Month, and there is no better basecamp to celebrate the great outdoors than nestled right among the ponderosa pines at Custer Crazy Horse Campground. Whether you are hitting the road in a big rig, looking for a cozy cabin retreat, or pitching a classic tent under the Black Hills stars, June is the absolute prime time to kick off the summer camping season. Here is a quick look at what makes June the perfect month to book your stay and how to get ready for the ultimate outdoor getaway.
