Wow

I have this whole place to myself. $10 for a tent site with views of Sturgis, hot showers and wifi if you are close to main cabins. Host is really friendly and accommodating. I have a quiet spot almost a half mile up the hill in the pine trees with cut grass and picnic tables.

Mainly used for the motorcycle rally with views from above the city

Located above Sturgis and only about a mile and a half from Main Street. Just far enough to escape the chaos but close enough to take in as much as you want. With views of both Sturgis, the beautiful Black Hills, and one of the best spots to see the bomber fly over, this makes for a good rally camp.
