"We picked a site near the back of the camp grounds located near the creek and close to a small parking lot (close by to the pet exercise area on the map - though it's labelled as an ice rink on grounds"
"The area is beautiful and there is a creek that runs around edges and the fish hatchery to tour across the street. "
$29 / night
"The tent sites are right on the river and it makes for a peaceful sleep
The highway is very close but the road noise is pretty low considering the proximity."
"Tent site was near the river, and the sound of the river helped drowned out the nearby highway noise."
"Dump station and potable water
If you can boondock, plenty sites on opposite side of lake ( see Belle Fourche Dam & Reservoir, and it’s free)
Ground was so parched-grass do dry that it hurts pooch"
"The reservoir is pretty (was really low when we went) and close to all of the sites. There is a playground and a dog park."
"Great waterfront camping. tons of space around, we stayed on middle loop in spot 12 near pit toilets."
"Easy to find from town and can set up anywhere around the reservoir. Some shaded areas. There are fire rings and gravel paths. A lot of boating is happening."
$23 - $65 / night
"They have 3 heated pools, a basketball court, recreation room, playground, & petting zoo for the kids, as well as a camp store, laundry facility, free WiFi and fire pits."
"Close to freeways and many day drive towns and memorial sites. Arrived weekend after Sturgis Rally… Pretty quite 😀🐐🦬🌄"
"We were right across from their small fenced dog park. We were also close to the 7.5-mile nature trail entrance from the park to the river, which was great for walking our dogs."
"Nice people, very clean bathrooms, close to highway so there’s some road noise. Nature trail with off leash dog area, and a small dog park in the middle for off leash doggy play time."
"Easy access off I-90 and super close to Spearfish, Deadwood, Lead and all this area of South Dakota has to offer."
"The park was easy to get to though our RV GPS wanted to take us up to I-90 and back around versus just taking a left across US-85 into the campground (CG). Check in was easy and informative."
"Belle Fourch but after a little exploring I found a great private spot in Free Dispersed area but the site were furnished with a fire ring and table and a great view of a beautiful lake."
"Woke up to a beautiful sunrise next to the reservoir. Plenty of sites to choose from with vault toilet close enough to walk between sites."
"This is not a thru road there is only one entrance off of the CanAm Highway. Roughly about 10 sites depending on set-up. Bathroom close by the entrance/trailhead to Roosevelt Friendship Tower."
"Our spot was nice and a short walk to a vault toilet and trailhead. The trail led to a cool tower that we climbed to watch the sunset."
"I found this spot easily and it really feels like you are getting away from the world wich is something I really appreciate.😌 Seen some deer.
👍🏻 There aren't any clear marked camp sites I just found"
"Although, the spot is located close to the road there is very little traffic. The area is beautiful and serene. I observed deer at the first spot on Aspen Hills."
ScoutThey advertise that they have Wi-Fi but it's almost like they shut it off at 10 o'clock at night when quiet time starts which is a great time for looking up directions or places to see, we could never connect for long and streaming- which means no Netflix its against the rules(which we never saw only overheard). They allow fires but make sure you get a metal ring because it's illegal to have a fire in south Dakota if you don't have one they have them but they don't leave them at the sites or let you know they are available. Also no petting zoo we specifically came here thinking they had one because they advertised and after we arrived they informed us it was turned into a dog park i have no pictures but there's not much to see here
GuideGreat waterfront camping. tons of space around, we stayed on middle loop in spot 12 near pit toilets. Water and dump available in state rec area with daily entrance fee, or in belle fourche visitor center for free
ScoutI just needed a place to stop and car camp. I was going to stay at a campground I. Belle Fourch but after a little exploring I found a great private spot in Free Dispersed area but the site were furnished with a fire ring and table and a great view of a beautiful lake. Slept like a baby!
TravelerStayed at an RV site in early June, 2021. The site assigned to us was on the outer loop and directly opposite Devil's Tower. The tower was nicely framed by a pair of trees at our campsite. The entrance to national park is immediately next to this KOA.
The hosts were friendly and accommodating. No complaints with the water and electric service at our campsite. Our site (as were all the others as far as we could tell) was level.
The restrooms were clean, but like things seeing a lot of use these days needed a couple repairs but nothing major. The on-site showers were also clean and the water warm. The KOA staff watered an adjacent site through the night while we were there.
Note: site's were available on first-come basis at nearby Devil's Tower Belle Fourche campground but don't offer the amenities of the KOA.
LegendBelle Fourche River Campground is National Park campground right next to the tower. There are 2-loops with 46-sites. There are no hookups, but Drinking water is available at water spigots and in the restrooms. There is some shade. This is a first come, first served campground, no reservations. There is a 14-day limit on occupancy. Some sites are pull-through sites with room for medium RVs. You can wake up and watch the mountain tower with your coffee in the morning
RangerWe wanted to spend a couple of days in the Black Hills and also needed full hookups and laundry after about a week of boondocking - Elk Horn Ridge gave us that and more. Easy access off I-90 and super close to Spearfish, Deadwood, Lead and all this area of South Dakota has to offer. The campground is a true resort with concrete pad sites with modern full hookup connections, beautifully landscaped grounds overlooking the Frawley Ranch, and a wonderful pool, a pool-side bar, dog park, basketball and pickleball courts, coffee bar and laundry. Our rig was a dirty mess from the boondocking and Elk Horn Ridge even has local mobile companies that come to your site and clean your rig. Ours was cleaned while we hiked the Spearfish Canyon!Loved our time here and special kudos to Ellee and Jordan for their welcome at check in and drinks after dinner!
LegendThe KOA was very easy to find right off I 90 and US 85. Check-in was quick and easy and we were guided to pull in site 65 with FHUs. The utilities are smartly placed in the middle of the pad. Our pad was plenty long enough for our 39 fifth wheel and F450 truck. The staff was super nice and helpful and the campground(CG) was well-maintained. We used their laundry room with 6 washers and 6 dryers for$2 a wash and$2 to dry. A bonus was that the dryers actually dried the clothes in 30 minutes. We were right across from their small fenced dog park. We were also close to the 7.5-mile nature trail entrance from the park to the river, which was great for walking our dogs. The CG has curbside trash pick-up plus firewood& ice for sale. The WiFi was above average for a park this size. We got two bars on Verizon. There are trees in the CG, but not enough to prevent you from getting a satellite shot into the sky. Guests with dogs here do not pick up after their dogs in the dog park and especially along the back side of the CG where we were staying. We saw dog poops all over the place and witnessed several times out our back window, and in the dog park, people not picking up after their dogs. The CG doesn't seem to enforce picking up after your pet. There is a lot to see and do in the area. As we were here in October, the leaves were changing in Spearfish Canyon and we enjoyed a really nice leaf peeper drive, and then visited Deadwood, which was having its Octoberfest.
TravelerClose to Devil's Tower (5 min), but right on highway. You truly can see the tower from the campground. Found out later that the much nicer Belle Fourche CG inside the monument, which is first come, first served, was not full at 5:30pm. Talking to the ranger, it sounded like this was common, but that it would fill by dark. Devil's view RV had a small restaurant and ice cream and a gift shop. Owners were very nice. No water, only electric. Port-a-potty bathrooms. Sites close together and loud right on the road. Our camp site was on a hill and hard to level our trailer. At $47 per night, a little pricy.
LegendRocky Point Recreation Area
Nice spacious sites
Being charged $6 or $7 as a reservation fee is a tad excessive when you’re paying $28 for electric only site. Drop-toilets available. Dump station and potable water
If you can boondock, plenty sites on opposite side of lake ( see Belle Fourche Dam & Reservoir, and it’s free)
Ground was so parched-grass do dry that it hurts pooch to w as ok on it
Overall, a nice peaceful place. Well maintained, friendly staff
Upon arrival as l, previous camper left his crap in the fire ring
