Best Glamping near Camp Crook, SD
Picnic Spring Campground and Reva Gap Campground feature rustic glamping options within the secluded forests near Camp Crook, South Dakota. Both sites offer yurt accommodations with spacious layouts providing more comfort than standard tent camping. Picnic Spring provides private glamping sites spaced well apart for maximum privacy, situated among ponderosa pines and sandstone cliffs. Most sites include picnic tables and established fire rings, with vault toilets available throughout the campground. Reva Gap similarly offers well-separated glamping spots with stunning views of unique geological formations. "This campground is so private and the sites are spaced far enough apart you can't see each other," noted one visitor about Picnic Spring.
The Cave Hills and Slim Buttes formations surrounding these glamping destinations create distinctive landscapes for outdoor activities. Hiking trails lead to panoramic viewpoints showcasing expansive prairie vistas, particularly at "The Castles" formation near Reva Gap. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound with deer, elk, and coyotes frequently spotted throughout the area. Both glamping locations operate on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations required, and no fees are charged for stays. According to a camper, "Different roads and trails through the Cave Hills can offer up a bunch of different sights and views from the expansive prairie stretching away from it, the little hillsides and meadows between buttes and all the wildlife that occupies it." Visitors should note these are undeveloped sites with no hookups, drinking water, or trash collection.
