Cottonwoods on Cheyenne River
16 ft travel trailer · With pets ·
Killdeer Corner
Wall, South Dakota - Beautiful rolling range country. Killdear was easy to find,
Just a few minutes off the interstate. A great place for off the grid camping. Close to Rapid City and area attractions - which are plenty. Property is wide and fairly flat with cottonwoods throughout providing ample shade on a hot day. We trailer camped facing east along the fence line with a gorgeous view of the hills. There are several large flat areas to set up away from any other campers. We arrived late afternoon on a Wednesday and had the whole place to ourselves. It was a Bluebird day with temps in the high 80s and a lovely breeze. A tad too hot to hike to the river with the dogs. Our host popped over late afternoon to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall we had a nice stay. It was only for one night but took it all in while we were there. Stars were incredible if you can stay up that late!!

Peaceful, private, and a stunning sunset. Directions were clear and the campspot was easy to find. The host met us upon arrival, she was very welcoming and friendly. Yes there's a lot of mosquitos, but we are camping outdoors near a river, very much to be expected. My kids loved exploring the property and being able to let my dogs run around is a huge perk! Definitely a perfect spot for a quick overnight stop

We found the site without trouble and our host immediately answered and gave minute details of where to go from there. The location for our next day Badlands trip was superb. Camp was private and we enjoyed exploring the property that next morning. A perfect camping experience. We will surely camp here again during our western adventures to come.

The gravel pit is a great, convenient, quiet, and beautiful spot to camp. The directions sent over after booking were easy to follow, even in the dark. Definitely will be keeping it in mind for future trips through the area!

The site was close to the freeway. The host was unable to greet us upon arrival but kindly gave accurate and easy to follow directions via text message. I camped in my teardrop trailer with my aunt and dog. We had a lovely evening on the property walking the dog and enjoying the solitude. We were the only people camping on a warm fall evening. Finding a level spot to park was easy to navigate. The stars were glorious. The host visited us just as it was getting dark to be sure we were settled in. She was very kind and thoughtful. We were on a cross country road trip and planned for one night stays using the road trip feature on HipCamp. The site is pretty close to the scenic loop of Badlands National Park. I recommend this site!

First, this is the kindest, most considerate host. We drove from Palisades State Park and got in about 7pm. She came right out to greet us and see what we needed and answer questions. This sweet spot was what we needed. After camping in a campground for a week, coming to this peaceful spot was perfect. We just needed a night before heading to Wall Drug, Badlands and then on to Custer. This was the perfect spot for that. Easy on and off 90 and so quiet and calm. We even saw an owl, some deer and lots of stars.

We used the gravel pit as a base camp for our trips to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park and Windcave NP. The host met us to guide us in and was very accommodating. It was a nice area with a pleasant breeze. We camped in the cottonwoods and found level ground for our Hiker Trailer. Mosquito spray/options are a must but it is summer time and that’s life outdoors! We left there and went to Badlands NP and Minuteman Historic Site on our way out. We would stay again if back through the area.

Great, quiet experience. The host met us, showed us the land and was friendly and welcoming. A great place to stay if you’re passing through or want to spend some time exploring the Badlands.

Good communication with the friendly host. She checked in on us and made sure we were all set and then left us to relax and enjoy the space. Nice, isolated spot w/a tented toilet nearby. Don’t let the “Gravel Pit” name fool you. It’s got lots of trees and open areas of well grazed grasses to enjoy. We’d certainly visit again.

We loved camping here! It was a nice private space with the plenty of area for our kids to explore. They absolutely loved looking for unique rocks and the host was gracious enough to bring a few fossils and share her knowledge with our children. They absolutely love her!

Peaceful, open, quiet place in the cottonwoods. Even though it was high winds on the highway the camp spot had just a slight breeze. We thoroughly enjoyed the solitude and pleasant walkways!

Don't let the name "Gravel Pit" fool you! This Cheyenne River bottom land has a beautiful setting and views, starting from the riverside, up to the bluffs. The sun filtering through the cottonwoods accompanies the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. The bonus is that you have a herd of beautiful cows and calves to talk to, along with birdsong, deer, and the evening coyote serenade. We even enjoyed listening to the rain and storm that rolled in, but the sandy soil, took care of any water that might have muddied out tent site. Do yourself a favor and grab a spot. We will be back whenever we can, as the owner was an excellent host.

The name "Gravel Pit" might be offputting to some, but make no mistake, this Cheyenne river bottomland is beautiful! It's flat land, with copses of cottonwoods, native flowers and grasses that follow the river up to he handsome surrounding bluffs! The level, "gravelly" bases are perfect for tents or RV setups, and are soft enough to accept good purchase for tent pegs. The cows and calves are just a pleasant extra, with birdsong aplenty. Evening and morning views are at your pleasure. Bring your own water, but there is a composting toilet. No campfires, of course,but the views more than make up for and evening fire.

Unfortunately due to weather, many delays on the interstate, and some miscommunication, we didn’t make it to camp here. Based on the pictures and super kind/understanding responses from the host I’m sure it’s a lovely space to camp for the night on your way to the Badlands or Wall. The surrounding area we saw when finally passing by was absolutely gorgeous!
