- 🦬Stan and Rhonda from Over The Hill Adventures are excited to finally share Custer State Park South Dakota in their best season yet, INTO THE WILD. In this episode, Stan and Rhonda camp inside Custer State Park at Blue Bell Campground. They set up their trailer and waste no time before they take off to drive Wildlife Loop Road. Custer State Park Wildlife Loop Road did not disappoint. Wildlife views from inside their vehicle were breathtaking! Rhonda and Stan also want to stress the importance of staying safe when viewing wildlife. Viewing from your vehicle is safest, but if you are not in your car, stay at least 25 yards away from bison, elk and other animals. 100 yards away from bears and wolves.
🦌Come with Stan and Rhonda as they truly step "Into The Wild" for another amazing adventure with the most wildlife they have seen yet.

Those are some nice parks for sure. Plenty to tour and see. Campgrounds basically to yourself is an added bonus. It's great taking a leisurely journey with the ones we love. Enjoy your time.
Take care.
Hello Matt, thank you Matt for joining us as always. South Dakota is off the the hook! There is so much to see. Yes it is an absolute blessing to travel with the one you love. Simple said we are not guaranteed tomorrow so seize what we have today. Stan and Rhonda
Ha, Stan and the bee with those famous last words ' it will go away'. Said that to my nephew just before it stung him. Great video, thanks guys.
Oh no! That’s didn’t end well for him! Poor guy! Did he trust you after that? 😂Thanks for hanging with us till the end, Jim! ~ Rhonda and Stan
Nice, WOW. Looks like you did some good job picking out your sites. LOVE WATCHING ANIMALS .
Hi Tim, This site was amazing!! The place ended up filling up quick over the next few days, but the sites were so spacious we hardly noticed. We loved this footage of all the bison and the calves so we wanted to share in length. So glad you enjoyed it 👏 Hope all is well with you and your wife!
Nice campground and not too crowded, fantastic!
We were there on May 1st, opening day for the campgrounds in Custer, and as you saw, there was hardly anyone there. The campground did fill up over the next few days, but we never felt like it was too crowded. Sites are large 👏 Thanks for reaching out! ~ Rhonda and Stan
Cant wait to check it out.
You will have the best time! It’s one of our all time favorite places! Thanks for watching, Tim!
~ Rhonda and Stan
Great video! Way to go Ranger Rhonda. Love all the wildlife you saw. The babies were adorable. I can’t believe we did not go there when we were in the area a few years ago.
Karla, This is one to move to the top of your list of places to go! Especially off season! Take it from Ranger Rhonda 😂 The spring is when the babies are out in force 😍🥰 We could have sat there for hours watching them. They are hysterical! Thanks for always hanging out with us!
I am not a fan, either, but really enjoyed the video. You all do awesome. Thank you, thank you. Blessings
Hello BettyJo, so glad you enjoyed our new adventure. We pray that you will have a blessed week. Stan and Rhonda
We did the loop on motorcycles and were blocked for 45 minutes but that’s why we went to watch the wildlife. We also enjoy the slower season.
We have found that traveling in the Spring before Memorial Day and in the Fall after Labor Day are our favorite! Much slower season with less crowds w👏 A motorcycle sounds like a fantastic way to ride the Wildlife Loop Road! We love riding our e-bikes out there in the wild and experiencing the sights and sounds a little more intimately 😍
We can’t wait to share our trip to Theodore Roosevelt NP where we come up to a herd of bison on our bikes 😬 Thanks for hanging out with us for sharing 👍 We appreciate it! ~ Rhonda and Stan
Ranger Rhonda!
Hey Rick, thanks for joining us! I think we are going to start a new RUclips channel. Ranger Rhonda’s Adventures…..lol 😂
Beautiful! We were in Custer about a month after you. We were amazed at the beauty of the area. We plan to go back often! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you both for watching! We are so grateful to have you join us on our travels 🤗 It truly is amazing there. The search for the animals is exciting and you never get the same scene twice. We will definitely be back as well. It holds a special place in our hearts ❤️ Blessings ~ Rhonda and Stan
Great video! We did this a few years ago and are going back next month. Thank you!
Hi Stuard, That’s exciting news! Are you staying in Custer SP? It’s just one of those places that leaves an impression on you. Glad you get to go back! If you like to hike, watch for the Sasquatch signs and the Medallions on the trails so you can get prizes. We will share more about the Custer summer trail challenge next video. Here is a link: gfp.sd.gov/hike2023/
The Sasquatch signs are in all SD State Parks 👏
Keep your eyes open! 👀
~ Rhonda and Stan
South Dakota is one of a few states I never been but there is actually so much to see. Have fun out there 👍
Hello Thomas, you must put it on your bucket list. Thank you for joining us. Stan and Rhonda❤️
@@OverTheHillAdventures I definitely will. Thank you again for the video.
We have a picture of us at the Wind Cave sign with a Bison standing in the background! We stayed at the Spearfish City Campground which was very well maintained with full hook ups. The fish hatchery next to was really nice also.
Hi Bruce, That’s the “token” bison you saw by the NP entrance signs that Stan talks about 😂 We almost stayed at Spearfish City Campground, but they only had a few spots left and we didn’t know if we would fit. We have heard great things about it. Thanks for watching and for reaching out! ~ Rhonda and Stan
That’s awesome park we were there last September and did Mout Rush More on 9-11 and the ceremony was fantastic. Thanks From Wisconsin
Our whole South Dakota adventure has been amazing. We still have so much to share.
@@OverTheHillAdventures can’t wait to see what you do next 🥰
Looks like Ranger Rhonda was right....found lots of wildlife on your outing! They didn’t make very good interview subjects however! ❤
Hello Carol, Ranger Rhonda is always right! Thank you for joining us. This has been an incredible experience. I would say, this was the most wild life we have ever seen. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda
better to avoid 😮
It is a beautiful animal! Thank you for joining us. Stan and Rhonda
Well did you do the drive around the loop,when you come out you see Mt Rushmore. It's a place you need to stay 2 or 3 days glad to get too see what you saw our favorite places to go. Buffalo round up is something I always wanted to do, living my memories through your lens thanks
Hello! Yes we did and that adventure is coming soon. Thank you for joining us and your kind words. The Bison 🦬 in Custer State Park are absolutely spectacular. Stan and Rhonda
hey guys I enjoy all you videos did you see , it looked like a white ferret just after the wild boroughs , I cant spell
Hello Bill, that was actually a very light prairie dog. I thought same thing at first. Thank you for joining us on this adventure. Stan and Rhonda❤️
I am absolutely loving your latest adventure. I would love to take this adventure next year 😊
Hello Diane, thank you so much for joining us. If you decide to take this adventure next year, I would highly recommend doing it in early May. We we were so blessed! No crowds and so much wild life. Thank you for your kind words. Stan and Rhonda❤️
I don't think I want to try my 45' DP for camping there but I am looking forward to do some day trips into that park.
Game Lodge Campground would be perfect for your size rig. We drive by it in the video and highlight it. It’s very open and next to the field where the bison and big horn sheep are often seen. We are 52 feet total with our truck and trailer and fit great. The site was just a bit unlevel as you saw. There are several sites on lower ground you’d fit perfectly in at Blue Bell. But if not, glad to hear you will make a day trip. It’s a special place. Thanks for watching! ~ Rhonda and Stan
Love it! I noticed your first step is kind of high, with the leveling you had to do. We carry an aerobics step for our camper. I have issues climbing tall steps and it’s a life saver. It’s plastic, lightweight and adjustable somewhat and works well for me. -John
Hello John, thank you for joining us. Yes it was a little high but not to bad. That is a great tip and idea. When we first got there it didn’t seem so bad at all. The level does not lie. We appreciate your comment very much. Stan and Rhonda❤️
Wow! I LOVE Custer! How did you pick the Blue Bell campground? I think I will talk to my husband about going to SD next May. 😊
Claudia, It’s an absolute must-see! This place was one of our most favorite spots we have ever been. We actually picked Blue Bell by chance. When we knew they had an open spot, we did some RUclips searches real quick and it looked perfect 👍 We thought it was the prettiest campground in the park because of the setting. And it’s right on Wildlife Loop Road. We even walked to dinner one night right across the street. We hope your husband is on board! He would love it! 🙏🤞👍
Thanks for hanging out with us again this week! ❤️ ~ Rhonda and Stan
We loved Custer. We were there for 5 days, just 2 days ago. We were talking this evening about how nice it is to be here in May. We must have seen 250-300 bison on the Wildlife Loop road, with about 40 baby bison!
Don’t pet the fluffy cows! Wow! We loved our day at Custer, and got in free because it was Father’s Day. We have already planned to come back this way next summer, and already have reservations for one of the campgrounds. We will leave there headed to Yellowstone and Glacier. Our two pups barked at the bison also. What a great area! Butch and Becky
Butch and Becky, There is just something so special about Custer! Glad you two got to experience it! 👏 And headed back next year?!?! We are so “jelly” as the kids would say, lol. What campground will you stay at next year? So nice you got in for free! Didn’t know they did that, awesome! We are glad to hear your dogs barked too. We were afraid someone would have something to say about it 😂 😬 Safe travels, friends! ~ Rhonda and Stan
@@OverTheHillAdventures I’m thinking it’s called the game lodge campground. We are so excited about coming back out this way again.
@@TimeoffwithCuzinEddie That’s a very nice one! It’s right by the big field where the bison and the big horn sheep are often seen👏👍
I was all into watching their travel until that stupid dog showed up and barked at the Buffalo…bye-bye.
Hello Gina, Molly is our rescue dog and very much a part of our family. The Bison did not care if she was barking or not. Nothing different than a human talking to them out their car window. Bye ✌️
