First time in the black hills!
Such a beautiful and peaceful spot!! Our 2WD car did just fine, I would take the road during daylight if possible if you only have 2WD! Our 4 person tent fit beautifully on the wooden platform graciously built by the hosts. The only sounds we heard other than the animals and breeze was an old man on his atv, and he was super sweet when we stopped to chat! This site is so close to soooo many Black Hills sites! Overall an amazing and memorable stay, we will definitely be back!

Ponderosa Site
While on our family road trip we chose to HipCamp along the way. While exploring South Dakota we chose an overnight stay here. This was a very secluded spot amongst the trees. The site was very spacious and clean. We drove in a 4 Runner with a roof top tent. The road does not seem meant for smaller vehicles. Also, be aware that on more narrow paths there are drops off the edge. The creeks were very shallow and fun to drive through. When we finally arrived to the site, it was difficult to determine if it was the correct place because the sign said Private Property. We did not notice the Eagle Lodge sign right away on the tree. Thank you again to the hosts for a nice stay.

We absolutely loved our stay. This site is very private, well maintained, far enough off the main
Road but close enough to hit amenities when needed. You are just minutes to Deadwood and Lead.
The site was large and level, full of wild flower and surrounded by trees.
Calvin the host was very responsive and friendly, answered all of our questions quickly!
We have bookmarked this place to stay again. Highly recommend!

Very secluded location. Quiet. I think the density of the forest and the gentle rain made for a great nights sleep!
