Weekend Trip to Bear Den Cabins & Camp

What an amazing, peaceful place run by such a wonderful woman! I came to stay for 2 nights on my way home and it was the most peaceful, soul restorative experience I could've asked for. In addition to being incredibly quiet with lots of nature sounds, the bed in the tent was so comfortable and Tammy thought of everything one could need or want. Bath towels are provided for the hot showers in the most amazing bath house, with flush toilets, I've ever used at a campground, with soaps provided if needed. The bed has super cozy blankets and sheets, with more if you need. I also had a propane heater which was amazing as it was quite cold the first night. The propane powered fire bowl was INCREDIBLE and so perfect! Lanterns are provided if you don't have your own. I didn't take advantage of the cooking amenities but I would totally do so if staying longer/next time. Tammy herself is so kind and caring, she will definitely ensure you have everything you need and is lovely to have a chat with. The property is perfectly close to Custer State Park and not too far from Wind Cave and Badlands. With no doubts or hesitations, this was the absolute best place I've ever camped, my personal tent or otherwise. I can't exaggerate enough how much I loved this place.

Weekend Trip to Bear Den Cabins & Camp

This was an amazing place to stay! The property was beautiful and the amenities were clean and extremely nice. Tammy and Tim were extremely welcoming and kind. They allowed us over to meet their horses and pointed us in the direction of a trail on the property. They also gave us great recommendations for our next stops and places to visit. I felt safe and welcome here and would love to spend more time at bear den.

Awesome place with incredibly friendly hosts Tammy and her husband Tim. Staying near cute horses named Dale and Daryl was a dream come true. Clean and welcoming bathrooms! Helpful laundry room with fresh ice and a dishwashing sink. Truly a delightful visit that will bring us back to Hermosa.

Such a beautiful area to explore and the cabin was cozy and comfortable. Tammy is so helpful and accommodating. She offers coffee, laundry facilities, a BBG and dining facility, and bags of ice available in the freezer. Amazing! We were only passing through but we will definitely come back for a longer stay so we can continue to explore the area. Thank you Tammy and Tim!

Tammy and Tim are wonderful hosts for a peaceful retreat they’ve built themselves! I will forever recommend this wonderful spot to anyone I know going to the area. They go above and beyond as hosts and have provided everything someone could need during a stay in one of their cabins or glamping tents. It is rustic but with the amenities to make things comfortable and easily reachable. Thank you to both of them for hosting myself and my parents in the larger of the cabins!

Tammy and Tim are lovely people. Their land is gorgeous, and the warm welcome and thorough communication made my trip a breeze. The shared spaces, such as cooking areas, laundry and shower rooms were immaculate and the privacy of the lil bear den was perfect for me as a solo female traveler. I highly recommend this spot and these hosts :)

Weekend Trip to Bear Den Cabins & Camp

We really enjoyed our stay! Tammy and Tim are the kindest hosts. The cabin and bathroom/showers are clean. The location is quiet and conveniently located near Custer State Park. It’s a bonus that we could travel with our dogs. We’ll definitely be back!

4 nights at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

This land is absolutely beautiful. The whole set up Tammy and her husband have is peaceful and every bit of a relaxing getaway. Within a short drive of Custer State Park and a few other landmarks about in the area, this was perfect to catch all the spots. Tammy is a hospitality queen, made us feel right at home. We will be returning and spreading the word that this is a 12/10 would recommend place to stay in the Black Hills area!!

Lil Bear Cabin was GREAT! From the moment I arrived, Tammy was so welcoming and helped carry in some of my things. She showed me around and made sure I had everything I needed and more. I arrived while it was dark so it was a treat to explore the camp during the sun rise the next morning. I walked along the trail and said good morning to the friendly horses. I even had deer and turkeys grazing outside my window. There were snacks and a coffee machine in my cabin, a propane fireplace on the porch where I sat and saw some stars, a clean and well stocked bathroom, the perks go on and on. I cant wait to stay here again. On my way out of Hermosa, I got coffee and breakfast at Hermosa Coffee Shop. Would also 110% recommend:) THANKS TAMMY!
