Redwater Revival Campground

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents5 acres ¡ SD
Book a peaceful and beautiful site on a private creek. The Redwater Revival Campground joined Hipcamp and was open during the 2020 summer season. Herb met and accommodated many wonderful guests and had a blast doing it. The red bluff in the background was a very strategic vantage point for early Indigenous Americans for hunting game that roamed the creek bottom. The rest of this exciting story will have to be heard when you get here. The Redwater Creek is full of Brown and Rainbow trout. They are sneaky little buggers that can actually hear your footsteps when you are fishing along the bank. Please make sure that you stay with us for some very restful mesmerizing sleep along our part of the creek at the Redwater Revival Campground.

All of our RV sites are full hookup with 50 or 30amp connections. Every site is a 'back in' but there is plenty of room for maneuverability. Not all hookups are on the 'driver' side, but they are identified as 'passenger or driver' side during the reservation process. The park lies along the trout-filled, clean and clear Belle Fourche River, and our guests are welcome to play along the banks, soak up the sun, and play in the cool water. We even have float tubes for sale and kayaks available for rent. Ask us about our guided kayak tour. Next door is the unique and fun Tower Valley Station, a small-town gas station and convenience store with a surprisingly wide array of food, drinks, supplies for your camping adventure and of course top tier Sinclair fuels.

The best camping near Black Hills National Forest guide

Overview

About

Drive two scenic byways among the 5,000 miles of roads through the forest. The iconic Black Hills and Badlands let you see a wild, untamed land in southwestern South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming. Check out the highlights contained in the 1.25 million acres of forest.

Head to Mount Rushmore (pun intended) to see the iconic giant busts of four U.S. presidents. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt gaze to the southeast. The scenic drive just to get here is worth the trip.

Hike to the top of Black Elk Peak, the highest natural point in South Dakota. The grey rocks on the top of the mountain stand out from the surrounding trees. A moderate trail leads to the top for panoramic views.

Explore some of the 200 miles of passages in Jewel Cave. Three tour options include a basic, historic, and undeveloped tour.

Thirty campgrounds in this national forest have a wide range of amenities. Use your campsite as a headquarters for roaming around.
