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.

It's the wilderness for sure. This was our third stop in a drive across the country and I thought it was quite enjoyable. The place was easy to access and had plenty of places to setup camp. If you're pulling a trailer it seemed as if there was just one place big enough to turn around and I wasn't gonna gamble and drive deeper into the property to find out if that's true or not, lol. Would visit again.

This was my second time staying at this wonderfully remote site! I highly recommend Daniel’s land if you are looking for somewhere extremely private yet not far off the beaten path.

We reserved the camper site for a long weekend in September and loved our site. They are right near the entrance to Spearfish canyon and it is beautiful there. June was super responsive to all of our questions which was great. It is very peaceful and quiet and we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. The site is concrete and there is water hookup which we loved. We have a 26ft camper and recommend backing the camper in for the smoothest transition. If we decide to come back to the Black Hills we would stay here again.

We camped there with our 25 ft RV. Nice and clean site. Very peaceful and private. Enjoyed not being in a big camp site. Site is right at the entrance to Spearfish Canyon. Would definitely stay there again. Slab is not level due to drainage reasons. Be prepared to level out RV.

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!

Car is parked at end closest to incoming lane. This is the first, but most private, site.

Would highly recommend Daniel’s Hipcamp, The Wilderness! If you’re looking for something away from the crowds of Mt. Rushmore, Deadwood and all the other sights of the Blackhills, this is it! There are still trails close by but the campsite is in an amazing spot with great views. Loved our time there!

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

Enjoyed our peaceful beautiful surroundings in the quieter area of the Black Hills. But still close enough to area attractions. A bonus was electric & water at this spacious concrete pad. Also a large pavilion to shade you or get you out of a shower. Hanna Rd was lightly traveled, which made an excellent dog walking road with beautiful vistas along a 4 mile walk. A drive through Spearfish Canyon is just a short distance away. We extended our stay to enjoy 4 relaxing, zen-kind of days. Will definitely return to Luxury RV Canyon Retreat.

If you’re looking for a beautiful, quiet setting located close to area attractions then this location is for you. We enjoyed a 4 day stay appreciating the lovely surroundings and wildlife. Dog walking was great on Hanna Road (a lightly traveled road). There is a large concrete rv pad, electric, water and a large pavilion to enjoy.

A lovely place to stay if you are looking for peaceful solitude, beautiful surroundings, wild life viewing and yet are close to the many attractions located in the Black Hills. An added bonus: the site provided electric hook-up, fresh water, a large concrete pad to park on and a big pavilion to keep you shaded or dry in the event of rain. Minimal traffic on Hanna Rd which made dog walking safe. Our host was attentive and responsive to any inquiries we made. Would highly recommend this location.

1 night at Luxury RV Canyon Retreat

A peaceful place to relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful, quiet surroundings. The air was clean & fresh with the fragrant smell of pines. We appreciated the fact we were alone without fellow campers. Plenty of deer to see foraging in the woods and little chipmunk's scampering around the camp area. A large pavilion provided cover from rain & sun. The concrete pad and electric hook-up was an added bonus! There is even a fresh water hook-up to top off your tank. And the water is cold & delicious! Hanna road, which runs up the canyon offered great dog walking, with minimal traffic. You are conveniently located to major attractions and yet far enough away to enjoy a slower, quieter spot in the Black Hills. Don’t miss taking a drive through Spearfish Canyon, a spectacular scenic drive just moments away. Originally signed up for a 2 day stay, but extended our stay to 4 days! Enjoyed every minute.

Beautiful little spot!!! The creek behind camp was awesome, very peaceful and the water was super clear. Lots of wildlife including rabbits, birds, and deer wandered through. Also fireflies! You can just barely hear the freeway from camp but I was able to ignore the sounds pretty easily. Besides that the spot was very quiet and a great location. Would stay here again!
