Weather 

We here at Custer Mount Rushmore Campground (KOA) have taken a look at several sites for weather and weather underground located at is http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=57730&wuSelect=WEATHER appears to be one of the best. This spring is looking to be very nice and summer will be very comfortable. Not too hot...not too cold. Of course mother nature has the final vote.

Lakes

Camping in the Black Hills is always fun and by using the above site you will be better able to prepare.  My favorite link on this site is Snow depth. Don't worry...the snow is behind us for this year. It is good to know that in recent years the amount of rain and snowfall has been healthy and we are far from our recent drought. The black hills has several lakes that you can enjoy. Swimming, fishing, and canoeing are common Black Hill activities.

Here is a good source for lake information in the Black Hills: http://www.sylvanrocks.com/index.php/table/custer-state-park-lakes/
