Glamping in South Dakota

·

Whether you're visiting Mount Rushmore, hiking Badlands National Park, or fishing and kayaking along the Missouri River—South Dakota has enough outdoor adventures to tempt campers to the region. You don't need to trek into the backcountry or rent an RV to experience the state's iconic sites and natural wonders, though. Glamping offers the ideal alternative for those who prefer a comfy bed and a few home comforts, and heated glampsites provide options for those visiting outside of the main camping season (May through October). Book a luxury safari tent just minutes from the Custer State Park and Mount Rushmore, go glamping in the heart of the Black Hills National Forest, or choose a comfy glampsite with an outdoor hot tub and gas fire pit within easy reach of Wind Cave National Park. To escape the crowds, how about a romantic treehouse getaway or a cozy log cabin in the woods?

In South Dakota, glamping is a type of outdoor stay combining camping's nature setting with the luxury and convenience of comforts like beds, warm showers, or electricity. When glamping in South Dakota, there's no need to bring your own tent—instead, glampers may stay the night in a cabin, a vintage Airstream, a canvas bell tent, a yurt, or even a treehouse.
