CUSTER, S.D. (AP) - Campgrounds in the Black Hills National Forest are scheduled to open Friday.

The forest features 30 campgrounds with more than 682 individual sites. Many of the campgrounds are operated by a Forest Service recreation service partner, Hill City-based Forest Recreation Management Inc.

Most campgrounds have potable water and either flush or vault toilets, though electric, sewer and water hook-ups and showers are not available. About half of the campgrounds have on-site hosts.

Fees in Forest Service campgrounds range from $14 to $26 per night.
