Great Basecamp

Very quiet, the pad was perfect for a level area for our van, plenty of shade, and the bathroom was well maintained and so convenient. Great base camp for Custer State Park and the Badlands!

Nice quiet space. Better for a small camper than tent camping. We did find a couple of flat spaces in the grass that didn’t pool with rain for two our two small tents that were flat. Great proximity to all the sights, parks, etc. Lynn had helpful information ready about the area.

Lynn was a super host. The camp site is best suited for small units. It was fun to watch deer and turkeys roam through the area. Location is perfect if your planing to visit Keystone, Hill City and Custer State Park.

Great Private Campsite with Wildlif
5 m car
We arrived late at night, so couldn't see the property as we arrived. In the morning, we were greeted by deer, turkeys, birds, and rabbits. It was nice to have a private shower and bathroom available. The owners came over in the morning and were super friendly. We would definitely recommend.

Really fabulous spot central to everything in this area of South Dakota. Great amenities with covered patio, access to electricity and your washroom and toilet - luxury! Great view and we even had deer and turkeys wander through. Lynn and Rod are great hosts and gave us lots of advice on what to do around the area. We were so glad we booked to stay 3 nights so didn’t have to pack up each night.

Fantastic site, location, people
6 m campervan · With kids
Lynn’s Rustic Rendezvous is a fantastic spot. She and her husband were very warm and welcoming, and their HipCamp site was exactly what we needed. Our boys had a lot of fun on the lawn, our trailer was level thanks to the concrete slab, and we were extremely comfortable. They even allowed us to plug into power, which made things easier for us as we were unlucky with the weather and not able to get much charge from our solar for our teardrop’s refrigerator. And I took a shower! A real luxury on a camping trip.
The wildlife in the pictures is spot on! We saw more than a dozen turkeys, deer every morning, lots of birds, rabbits, etc.
their location was terrific. So beautiful! Close to Custer State Park (and not far from the town of Custer), near to Mt. Rushmore, Jewel Cave National Monument, etc. my kids are hoping we will be able to come back next year. We would love that.

Great location, all the amenities.
5 m campervan
Great location, within an easy drive of Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, the Iron Mountain Road and Needles Highway, Custer State Park and both caves. You've got your own concrete pad and flush toilet, sink and shower, set in a quiet alcove looking out over grass and trees, between the owner's house and the neighbor's. Far more privacy than your average campground. The hosts are marvelous people, friendly and with plenty of great suggestions. We stayed two nights and it was great to return the second night to a place that already felt like home.

We spent 4 nights at Rustic Rendezvous. We had electricity, water & our own private bathroom. Our teardrop camper fit perfect on the concrete pad & still had room for our Subaru. Lynn & her husband were very accommodating & checked on us a couple of times to make sure everything was OK. They gave us great info on places nearby to visit. I was sad to leave because it's a great private base camp for all the things to go see in the area. We will stay here again when we come back to this area. We loved sitting out at night and listening to the Elk buguling. All kinds of wildlife Canberra seen from camp. Thanks Lynn & Rob for such a good camping experience!

A perfect private location. Set up my hammock and enjoyed the sound of the elk throughout the night. Lynn offered great recommendations for dinner and travels. Don’t pass up this Hipcamp during your travels.

Great spot to stay as well as some great advice from the owner. First on staying at Mt. Rushmore and watching lightning ceremony. Totally worth it. And then another suggestion to check out Custer park and the wildlife loop. That was amazing too!!
Plus saw some deer and wild turkeys when we woke up in the am.
Thank you

Overnight stay

We stayed overnight and felt secluded away from everyone but also close to all the parks and towns. Lynn was also really helpful and responded to all my questions quickly. Definitely would stay again if we come back to the area in the future.

Everything You Need
5 m car
Rustic Rendezvous was our destination after a long day in the car. We had a bit of trouble finding it but that was because of my GPS's lack of calibration. Just a hint (in case yours is doing the same thing): go *past* the new red pole barn, THEN turn left! HA!
Once arrived, we saw the second-prettiest HipCamp! It was a close second and, like our favorite in SC, the owners were just top-notch, tied with the first! What a friendly, welcoming couple! They came out to welcome us after our belated arrival (and talked us through how to get there as well)!
Their communication was fantastic, the site amazing (I took more pictures here than I ever have), the wildlife abundant. You will lack for nothing here! Amazing...all around.

What a wonderful, peaceful place to camp! It was beautiful, convenient, and full of wildlife! We set up a tent, had a bathroom at our disposal, and set some chairs up to relax after a long days drive and site seeing. We all feel asleep watch the stars! Thank you for a wonderful place to stay! If we are ever drive west again, we will definitely be looking you up to stay again!

Best value for money!
Tent
Great place and location. All to yourself campground. Bathroom, shower, and wallaa.... it's an electrified campground. Very close to Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, Hillcity and many more places. The best base camp for our adventures to Ogalala, Scottsbluff, Badlands & Devil Tower. Pricewise.... the best value for money!
Thanks Lynn

We loved tent camping here! The host were kind, helpful, and welcoming. The shower was a nice treat and the quiet, serene beauty of the area was awesome. This place is so conveniently located to Custer SP, MT Rushmore, Rush Mountain, Crazy Horse, and more. We can’t wait to come back, honestly and wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended.

Excellent host and fantastic site!

Lynn's property was the perfect spot for my single night car camping stop. The location was exactly as described and pictured. The shower/bathroom facilities were a welcome feature. Lynn is a welcoming host. I did discover that opening the address directly from the Hipcamp app confused all three navigation apps I tried (Apple, Google and Waze); it was only when I manually entered the address as Lynn provided it that I was able to find her property.

Peaceful and quiet. We loved the wildlife. We have a tiny teardrop camper which fit just right. My son slept in his hammock under the pine trees and my daughter and grandson slept out in the open on a cot. Clean and homey.
