39mi from Custer · 20 sites · Lodging · Lead, SD

Welcome to Wickiup Cabins where adventure or relaxation can go hand in hand. We have what you are looking for. Our rustic yet modernized cabins were built in 1937 and provided all the comforts of home. Perhaps, a wedding destination, family reunion, small company retreat or a destination for relaxing while enjoying our mountain streams and quiet peaceful settings under our 80 foot spruce trees. It is here you can also come for hunting, ATV riding, rock climbing above and below us, mountain biking, fishing, riding the Mickelson Trail, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse or historic Lead Deadwood to name some of our Black Hills offerings. We are located central to the Northern Black Hills at the top of Spearfish Canyon 10 minutes west of Lead Deadwood on Highway 85. Wickiup has the monopoly on Spearfish Creek. Long gone are the cabin camps that once provided memories for children to older folks never to be forgotten. Warm summer days of tubing, fishing, panning for those gold flakes or just skipping rocks.

Weekend Trip to Plenty Star Ranch Retreat

This was the perfect location for our 3 day Mickelson trail bike ride. Our cabin was clean and cozy, and even though located on the highway, traffic sounds were almost non-existent at night.

7 nights at Black Hawk Creek RV Park & Cabins

(We actually stayed in cabin 9 - we didn't realize 7 had bunk beds.) The cabin was cute and quiet - a great, central location for exploring the black hills! The bed was comfy; the AC, blackout curtains, and fan keeps us cool enough, and the coffee maker, fridge, and mugs made morning coffee easy. We enjoyed watching thunderstorms and birds from the porch swing. The porta potties were right next to the cabin and the bathroom with plumbing was an easy walk. The hosts were so kind and accommodating. They were prompt to respond to any requests we had, including switching out towels halfway through our 7-night stay. Would highly recommend again!

1 night at Plenty Star Ranch Retreat

We had a great stay at Plenty Star Ranch Retreat. Everything was as we expected. The sleeping cabin, shower facility, and restroom were all neat, tidy, and clean. The overall setting was tranquil with beautiful views of the surrounding valley. This was one of our stops on a multi-day bicycling trip along the Mickelson Trail and it worked perfectly for us.

1 night at Plenty Star Ranch Retreat

Great place to overnight while riding the trail since it is right on it. Cabins are awesome... Jack cut the trees on his land one year, hauled them down to the ranch, hand stripped the logs the next year and then built them the following! And most of the furniture as well! Isa and Jack are very personable and welcoming making them great hosts. I will be coming back soon to camp!
