1 night at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

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!

Weekend Trip to Bear Den Cabins & Camp

I had an awesome time out at Tammy’s land. The place is beautiful, and she’s super nice too. There were animals everywhere—just a great place all around.

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!

1 night at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

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 Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

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

Weekend Trip to Black Elk Resort

The park was well kept, pristine, had beautiful surroundings and close to the attractions I wanted to see.

Weekend Trip to Bear Den Cabins & Camp

10 out of 10, would recommend to my sister. So clean, perfect location and fantastic hosts. What more could you ask for?

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!

1 night at No to New world Order

Very comfortable place close to all the fun. I showed up with the intention of tent camping but the temp dropped 20 degrees lower than I planned on, so they stuck me in a cabin. Will stay again on the way back through

1 night at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

So easy to access and directions were easy to follow as well. We hope to get back when we can spend more time!

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!!

1 night at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

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!

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.

Redwater Revival Campground

4 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · SD

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.
