Be part of a Blue Bell tradition. This old-fashioned hayride takes you on a minute scenic wildlife tour on the park's beautiful backroad to a mountain meadow canyon for a chuck wagon feast.
Live entertainment! On the way, you can sing along with your live folk music entertainer, and the full folk band joins up at the canyon for the dinner show. Each paying guest gets a souvenir cowboy hat and bandanna to help you play the part. The activity takes about 2. Check-in at Blue Bell Lodge. Fun for all ages! My husband and I went on the cookout wagon ride early October This was an amazing experience. The ride was fun, the guitar player who got everyone involved in sing alongside was professional, silly, really really great.
The cookout location was in a beautiful valley. Plenty of picnic tables. The cookout staff were helpful, efficient and they cooked an excellent meal. Worth every penny. So much fun. Menu includes your choice of an 8 oz. A vegetarian option is also available. Please select your option when you make your reservation. Dress accordingly. It cools down in the evenings! No pets. No bar available at the canyon for the dinner show; stop at Blue Bell Lounge for a pre-departure cocktail.
A wildlife hotspot. Travel through 18 miles of open grasslands and pine-speckled hills. Plan for photo ops! Take an unforgettable safari through the park in search of pronghorns, elk, and the noble buffalo. No matter which lodge you find yourself drawn to exploring, our Custer State Park Resort stores have you covered.
There are several delicious dining options spread throughout the park, all open seasonally from the beginning of May through mid-October.
