Tent

1 night at Redwater Revival Campground

Beautiful flat site right by the water. Big enough for our truck with roof top tent and awning to keep us out of the weather. The host’s written directions were also easy to follow for a first timer.

5 nights at Black Elk Resort

Nice area, centrally located. We would stay again.

Weekend Trip to Eagle Lode

One of the most beautiful and relaxing places we have ever stayed! So close to stores etc but yet so remote it was wonderful. Had a turkey friend and chipmunks come visit us too. Highly recommend this location!!

1 night at Eagle Lode

Amazing hosts, and the most beautiful site. Choose this place to find your serenity!

1 night at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

What a beautiful space! We enjoyed a quick night here after a long day of travel, and I don’t know who enjoyed it most: us or the dogs. Just behind the campground we walked some of the trails of the Black Hills National land, and when we came back to camp, we appreciated the clean campground. The full hookups were appreciated, and the camp spaces large and spacious.

Weekend Trip to Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

One of my favorite spots to camp. It's a great location and the owner runs it well l.

The place was beautiful! Garrett’s is an amazing host. Really can’t say enough good things about him. I’m looking forward to coming back next year. Absolutely recommend it!

1 night at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

We were grateful for Garret instruction before we arrived. Found out how peaceful it was with no phone service. There was internet. Our stay was late in the season.. Woke up to see snow on the ground. The place was beautiful. We have already started talking about returning. In warmer weather next time. Thanks for the nice place to stay.

2 nights at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

Impeccably maintained park, great communication from the host, and a wonderful location right on the river surrounded by hills. Recommended.
