1 night at Katmandu Campground

Friendly host. Many restrooms and shower stalls. Laundry based on honor system. Huge campground. The fwy is in the backyard so alittle noisy. There is a playground if you have children. Good spot overall.

Weekend Trip to Bear Den Cabins & Camp

This property is amazing! Tammy gives a personal tour of the amenities and all they offer, and makes sure you have everything you need for an enjoyable stay, The bathroom with multiple showers and sinks, utility room with microwave and washer, and the covered deck with a grill were above and beyond what we expected. The kids had a great time with the yard games and seeing the horses too.

1 night at Eagle Lode

This campsite was amazing. Had no problem getting there in a Buick Enclave. Calvin and Kay were very helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed our night spent here.

2 nights at Sturgis View Campground

Great View. Great base camp for visiting Sturgis and Bear Butte.

1 night at Eagle Lode

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the ponderosa. The site was easy to find, clean, private, and the views were great! We would highly recommend anyone to stay here.

Weekend Trip to Eagle Lode

Weekend Trip to Bear Den Cabins & Camp

Although I am new to Hipcamp I can say without a doubt that what Tammy has here is special. She greeted us as soon as we got there and even introduced us to other campers there as well. It was a small gesture, but still very nice. The amenities are fabulous and the bathrooms were awesome! We will definitely be back when we have more time to stay!

2 nights at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

We loved staying with Tammy and Tim. They provide lots of amenities, the place was clean and all the campers were friendly. Fire pits were great as it was rainy and cold while we were there. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

2 nights at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

Great site and great host! You can feel the passion that the hosts have for their space. From greeting us upon arrival to providing immaculately clean facilities, everything about our stay was exceptional and all for an extremely reasonable price. If you do one thing in South Dakota, you should stay with Tammy!

4 nights at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

Pristine and comforting are not words usually associated with camping, but if you stay here, that's what you'll find - a clean, comfy spot to get away. Tammy cares for her land and the people who stay there. This is where you want to be! GO!

3 nights at The Wilderness

We loved camping here , very remote and peaceful.

1 night at Tent camping near a pine forest

This is an established campground but has the heartfelt welcome and hospitality that is representative of Hipcamp. The tent sites are past the RVs and grouped at the back of the camp where they have inhibited views of Custer State Park. I saw dear 40’ away and listened to squirrels and birds aa I faded to sleep. Unexpected camp facilities included: free charging lockers, wifi near the laundry/game building, and supplies available on call.

4 nights at Tent camping near a pine forest

This was a great base camp for our South Dakota adventure. The site was beautiful with tall pines all around. Lot of wildlife to see as well. The staff were great to work with, they delivered firewood and ice directly to our site. We would highly recommend spending time here if you’re in South Dakota

1 night at Horse Creek Resort

Absolutely loved our stay! Garret was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The campsite was clean, peaceful, and well-maintained. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature!

2 nights at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

Fantastic location for going to the national parks and the state parks and everything. Garrett was a very, very helpful. Help me get into my slots and it was a perfect spot. It was absolutely lovely at the location is beautiful. And then Garrett suggested a couple of places to go to and check out while I was in the park and he was spot on the needles. Everything was all just fantastic. It was a great great great ship thank you very much

1 night at Naked Acres WY

Quick but memorable stay! We only stayed one night at Off the Beaten Path at Naked Acres while passing through, but it was such a cool spot. Super peaceful—until a big thunderstorm hit 😅⛈️ Made for a wild night, but kind of added to the adventure. Chris was an awesome host, and the site was easy to find. Would definitely stop by again when we have more time (and better weather)!

Weekend Trip to Rustic Rendezvous

We arrived late at night, so couldn't see the property as we arrived. In the morning, we were greeted by deer, turkeys, birds, and rabbits. It was nice to have a private shower and bathroom available. The owners came over in the morning and were super friendly. We would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Tent camping near a pine forest

Quiet, peaceful spot that backed up to the forest—so appreciated and needed! Host and staff were all very friendly too. Nothing fancy, but perfect for a weekend of decompressing from the road.

Weekend Trip to Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

it was amazing, very clean and positive environment. Everything was very simple to understand!

Weekend Trip to Camp Custer in Star Valley

My daughter called me needing a place to sleep for the night. After taking several minutes to try and figure out exactly where she was, I searched and found Camp Custer and it was PERFECT! She was only about 2 minutes away (divine intervention, ya think) and she sent me pictures...gorgeous! It was exactly what we needed! And Kurt & Randee communicated beautifully! I felt like my daughter was at a friend's visiting! Such peace of mind!
