Drive a little further, and end up in Badlands National Park, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Sturgis, or Devils Tower National Monument.

Tammy and her husband were amazing! We came later in the afternoon on a very cold windy evening. And they were so kind and put us in a glamping tent! It saved us! The spot is magical… so close to everything. The shower house can’t be beat. Can’t wait to re book and stay for a much longer visit! Highly recommend!

What a wonderful spot! Tucked away and private, but an awesome, central base camp for the Black Hills. The tent we stayed on was super clean and well-maintained, and even in October we stayed toasty warm with the provided bedding. There's an area to cook, and a place to wash dishes. Would highly recommend - Tammy was so kind and accommodating, her and Tim truly have a little slice of paradise.

Genuinely one of the best experiences you could ask for when it comes to camping. The cabin itself was clean, comfortable, and adorable. There's everything you could need! Katie and Chris are some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. The animals were adorable and sweet! The shower was magical and very well kept - even stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Overall, we will be coming back!
