Hikers and bikers will find multiple trail access points at Fort Meade Recreation Area, which sits between a creek and Interstate 90 just outside Sturgis. This BLM-managed campground provides 5 RV sites and 12 tent sites, with some tent spots requiring a short walk from the parking area. Sites are closely spaced, and campers report frequent prairie rattlesnake sightings in the area.
The campground features vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. Water comes from a fountain rather than spigots, so campers filling large containers need to bring a water bandit with hose. Recent pricing increased to $24 per night year-round. The Ft. Meade Horse Camp sits nearby for equestrian campers seeking specialized facilities.
