Plenty of our guests come back year after year, for the quiet and the views.

On the quiet & the views

Great location, beautiful scenery, quiet campgrounds, a lot of space for campers, rv's, and tents. … Perfect place for a getaway from the city. I would stay here every time I come to Sturgis.

On coming back

Great location for a great price, my favorite place during the rally. Best place to stay, because it is nice and quiet. … I’ve stayed here 8 out of the last 10 years.

On day trips

The location was great for us to see both Mt. Rushmore and Devil's Tower. The trip to Devil's Tower is long, but worth it. This is a quiet Campground with long, grass pull through sites. We have a 42 ft long fifth wheel and a 22 ft long truck.
