Camp, Glamp, and Wander
Set up camp amongst the trees and babbling creeks, choose an RV resort, or stay at glamping locations loaded with amenities. You’ll find places to camp around every corner of the Black Hills and Badlands.
PRIVATE CAMPGROUNDS
Private campgrounds are as varied as the landscapes surrounding them. These sites offer more than the basics, each with a package of extras.
All your needs can be met with amenities like electricity, pools, convenience stores, on-site dining, activities, rentals, showers, and laundry. Make your tent, trailer, tipi, or cabin stay as comfortable as possible.
Most private campgrounds such as Custer’s Gulch RV Park and Campground can easily accommodate big rigs and offer pull-thru and full hookup sites for your RV. Visitors can also choose to spend the night in a cabin. Stay at Happy Holiday Resort Campground, Rapid City KOA, and Mount Rushmore at Palmer Gulch Resort and Lodge for a great family experience.
GLAMPING
Whether you’re seeking adventure, a relaxing getaway, or a combination of both, glamping sites make the perfect destination for an unforgettable vacation.
Experience the ambiance of staying in a private luxury tent with all the amenities of an upscale hotel.
DEVELOPED CAMPSITES
Relax in the wilderness at a developed campsite. Camp in the rugged scenery of Badlands National Park at one of the park’s two campgrounds or on the edge of the prairie in Wind Cave National Park.
Make a reservation at a state park or recreation area. They offer a range of modern to basic campsites and some camps are designed for adventures with horses. There are also campgrounds scattered throughout the Black Hills National Forest.
BEYOND THE USUAL
Travelers with a taste for the unique should explore quirky classics. Fort Welikit Family Campground hosts “camping kegs,” while Rushmore Shadows and Deadwood KOA bring pioneer charm with a stay in a covered wagon. At Whitetail Creek Resort, yurts take center-stage, or reach new heights at Buffalo Ridge Camp Resort, where treehouses offer comfort amongst the pines.
