Book a peaceful and beautiful site on a private creek. The Redwater Revival Campground joined Hipcamp and was open during the 2020 summer season. Herb met and accommodated many wonderful guests and had a blast doing it. The red bluff in the background was a very strategic vantage point for early Indigenous Americans for hunting game that roamed the creek bottom. The rest of this exciting story will have to be heard when you get here. The Redwater Creek is full of Brown and Rainbow trout. They are sneaky little buggers that can actually hear your footsteps when you are fishing along the bank. Please make sure that you stay with us for some very restful mesmerizing sleep along our part of the creek at the Redwater Revival Campground.

Directions were very easy to follow and set up of campsites was logical and well spaced apart. We were the only ones there that night. Stayed at site 4. The toilet was a portable unit. Very clean. We got surprised that the water was turned off for the season but our host brought us water from his place which was plentiful. We recommend!

We had a marvelous, peaceful stay at Laure's hipcamp, surrounded by beautiful trees and hills. We've stayed on this property before and loved it so much that we returned. In addition, Laure is a great communicator. We highly recommend this hipcamp!

First, Laura is an excellent host. Great communication throughout. Her husband even sent a site location map before my arrival. This was extremely helpful finding where i was supposed to be. It also helped understand where to enter the property as the site seems to have a geocode versus physical address. All in all, I was able to get settled in about 10 minutes which is a personal best 🤣 The location is situated in a beautiful area, off the beaten path - literally. It's excellently maintained with water and electricity easily available. Unlike every site I've been to, the hosts actually provided an adaptor for those not prepared (I was but there was a time...) The only minor things I'd do differently or change are: 1.) I'd is choose one of the other 2 sites (which were available). Both are more open than the one I had which is near a building (albeit a very slick black garage). 2.) I had to be careful walking my dogs, even though on leashes, due to the electric fencing (which I understand the need for).. in a perfect world, there'd be a place to walk them less stressfully...minor. Overall this is great place and clear why its so highly rated.

The famous red bluff near Beulah, Wyoming, that overlooks the campsites.

This getaway in the magical Black Hills was such a nice retreat. The cabins are cozy (I slept so well!) and the host has thought through so many of the small details that make for a great stay - ample towels and kitchen supplies and a well-stocked shower.

This Hipcamp does it right. I just wrapped up a 8,000 cross country trip and this spot is the standard other should be judged by. Easy access, full, well maintained hook-ups and great views.

My wife and I loved staying at Laure’s place and will definitely stay there again if we make it back to the Spearfish area. If you are looking for an extremely quiet spot with a great Black Hill views, this is the spot!!
