Best RV Parks & Resorts near Deadwood, SD

This is a no-nonsense, FHU RV park, not for long-term, really. It obviously makes its money during Sturgis M/C Rally in early August (a week long party). Rest assured that everything in the Black Hills is booked for that week. If you're not participating in the Rally that weekend, I recommend any other part of the country. 

There is a LOT of tent capacity, and about 40 RV sites. Sites are well-maintained, level, power and water is good, sewer hookups work properly. Laundry is well-cared-for, and clean. Showers are good, Bathrooms are with the showers. No Wifi streaming, Verizon is pretty slow, but acceptable. All RV sites are pull-thru and well-spaced. 

Cash only for Passport America, also accepts Good Sam and military veteran discounts. 

The owner is no-nonsense, but thoroughly likeable, and very flexible. Highway noise is not a problem most of the night, and we weren't bothered by rail noise all night (which is rare in the West). 

Park of gravel/grass mix, no real shade, but these are grasslands at the foot of the Black Hills, so almost no dust and dirt. Road in is well-upkept, but dirt. Do NOT wash your rig - water is scarce in these parts. 

We paid $23/night Passport America for three nights, and $45 for another (military). Otherwise, this is marginally affordable for us.

50amps full hookups are for those who are long term. No shower house. Sites are pull through our 32 ft 5th wheel and 250 had plenty of space in the spot. But sites are close to each other. 30amp I noticed all had full hookups. Sites are level. The place is quite, right off hwy 16, and a great shot of the mountains. It’s a good place to stay if you aren’t spending time at your camp site but visiting around.

I'll definitely be staying at this campground on my next visit to the Black Hills. Very nice for tent camping or boondocking with a small trailer. If you are looking for full RV hookups, they do have them but the RV sites are a bit tighter than I might prefer.

So you're going to Mount Rushmore.... I discovered during my trip to the area June 2015 that hotel rates in the area are very high for what you get & hard to find availability. The solution is to camp! Make the most of your South Dakota vacation by spending it camping. My group tented and had a great time. Keep in mind though for those coming from other areas of the country, South Dakota does experience rain and thunderstorms. Pack and camp accordingly. This campground is nearby many SD attractions, within easy driving distance and minutes of Hill City, Custer, Keystone, Rapid City, Mount Rushmore. There are many options at the campground such as purchasing firewood to renting bikes. Check out KOA's campground map for campground layout. RV hookups, tent sites, heated pools, splash pad, and much more to keep everyone entertained. Remember that this area of South Dakota hosts high volumes of tourists each season, especially summer and during Sturgis Motorcyle Rally. I highly recommend making reservations far in advance!

This is a beautiful Good Sam Campground.

We really loved this campground! It was close to the Black Hills, Custer State Park & Mount Rushmore. Had basketball court, pool, hot tub, laundry & bath house. Full hookups, level concrete pad & just perfect!

I absolutely LOVE the Bulldog Creek Campground!   Nestled against the Black Hills National Forest, it is scenic, relatively quiet, peaceful and entertaining! First, the Rates...$40-50 per night with full, 50a hookups,$30 for 30a full hookup,$10 for tent camping, if you're just going to stay a night or two. If you just want a safe, quiet place to dry camp overnight, it's$20.

Now the really good part; if you want a base camp for a month or more and enjoy exploring the Black Hills, Sturgis and Rapid City, you can get 50a full hookup, pull-through site for just$550 per month plus electric! That's a bargain in this area. I was at the Ellsworth AFB famcamp who had just raised their rates to a whopping$54 per day, with no discounts available for long-term stays.

The campground is just off I-90, but set back farther than most, so not a distraction. There is an active rail line along the highway, but so far, I've not seen more than two trains in a day, and none at night. So even if it's for just a week or two, and not a month.. call Aaron, the owner. I'm sure he'll work the numbers a bit, just to have your business!

And as for entertainment, on my first night here, there was a heard of at least 2 dozen deer grazing through the campground. Several of them came within a few feet of my door as I talked to them! This mornings sunrise, accompanied by a hot cup of coffee, was exceptional. You just have to come visit!

This is definitely a large RV destination resort. Very nice and well kept. Bath houses have private showers with their own toilets and sink. Very clean. This place also has a pool and event center (though closed due to Covid). We stayed over Memorial Day as a last minute choice. Was very nice for an RV resort.

The pricing for this campground is a little steep for what you get. There are vault toilets, but no showers. There is no rv dump, you'll have to drive about 5 miles back to town to dump at an rv resort, which will charge you. The campground is very nice, but the pricing is just too high.

The facilities are clean and well maintained, and the lake is beautiful.

The park is conveniently located between Custer and the Custer State Park. Good sized lots and 50 amp full hook ups.

Several remote electric only sites, and many tent sites.

This was a great overnight stop for us while on our road trip. The owners were super friendly and accommodating.

RV full hook up was convenient and easy to access. Sites were level and easy to pull through. Sites are a little close to each other but there weren’t many other RV’s when we stayed so we had lots of space. Easy to find location as well.

Would stay again.

Big playground at the entrance. Clean bathrooms. Mowed and maintained very well. Full hook ups. Great place.

This campground is basic. Large pull thru sites full hook up and grass lots. Cabins with elect clean mowed and restrooms

A nice friendly place. We had full hook ups. Campground was quiet but there was a fair amount of road noise but it was quiet during the night.

Nice little campground away from the craziness of Mount Rushmore. Several spots with full hook ups and several camping spots. Really good cinnamon rolls, but you better order them early or they’ll run out!

it was a wonderful experience staying here. the property is set in the forest with full and semi full hook ups. Back in spots aren't for the faint of heart but the views make it worth it. The staff is super friendly as well. Additionally, bear country USA the drive through wildlife park is right next door which makes it fun for the whole family to drive through.
