Packed But Perfect!

We rolled into the campground, which is FCFS, rather late in the afternoon and grabbed the second site we found. By dark, it appeared that the campground was full. Most sites are pull through and there is ample space between them. No generator usage between 8 PM and 8 AM which made for a very quiet nights sleep.

The views of Devils Tower are wonderful. There is a trail up to the tower leads straight from the campground or it’s a quick drive to the visitors center if you’d rather not walk.

Very positive vibe in the campground. Would definitely stay again.

Great views

I love that it was first come first serve. There were plenty of spots since this is a pretty large campground. Normal bathrooms with toilets and sinks. It was clean and well maintained. And only 2 miles from the base of devils tower. Definitely worth the $20 night fee

Awesome view

The campground is only 2.1 miles from Devils Tower parking lot but the view is incredible. The nights silhouette of the tower was also pretty awesome! The campground has flushing toilets and drinkable spring water. Camp host were very friendly and helpful. Monument entrance $20 for 7 days and $20 per night to camp.

Amazing location

Nicely maintained campground in Devils Tower National Monument.  Had choice of sites at check out time in June.  Great views of Devils Tower and easy access to trail that leads to the tower.   Clean bathrooms, no showers, potable water, mature trees but little privacy.

Spectacular View

Stayed here 1 night on a 5 week long canning trip. That night, a thunderstorm in the distance lit up spectacular fireworks behind the view of Devil's Tower, perfectly viewed from the campground. Not a lot of amenities here, but good showers and it was a quiet location.

Amazing view of a natural wonder

Devil's tower has some of the most unique rock climbing we've ever experienced. And the adorable prairie dogs were an added bonus! Main downside of the campground in the summer is that there isn't much shade. Still five stars, as the facilities are very clean and the short driving distance to the tower is really convenient.

So close you could almost touch it

Went off-season (early October) and was able to take my pick of sore’s from the nearly-empty location.

Bathrooms were open. At the tower itself, both visitor centers were closed, though rangers were present.

Note: registration is available on-site via cash or check only. To use a credit/debit card, you must pay at the entrance station. Take the placard they give you (or the stub from the envelope if you pay at the site) and attach it to the pole next to your campsite.

Explore From Right Inside The Park

Devil's Tower can be one of those parks which quickly can have a line just to get in, especially on busy holiday weekends.    I visited on Labor Day and found that the early bird gets the worm when it comes to entry and camping alike.     While there are other camping facilities just outside of the grounds the ability to simply wake up and hit a trail from your campground is something of unique appeal.    

As you enter the park you will wind around the way with spectacular views of the Devil's tower, pass through prairie dog town and then stumble upon the campground just before ascending to the parking area for the tower's popular trails and small information center.     When crowds are large parking in this area is tight, which is why camping inside the parks bounds has even more of an appeal.    I found that the campground had an access trail which allowed you some of the best views of the tower and also the red beds.    

There are two access points, one to the lower area and one to the higher allowing you to completely bypass the majority of the tourism traffic unless you really want to take the paved ADA trail.

Campsite is spacious and has limited number of sites so registration on a busy weekend is best done online.   On a normal day of the week the campground can fill up by noon so keep that in mind if you are wanting to wing it.

Camp offers all the basics of home without showers.    Flushing toilets and running water are centrally located as is potable water.    This makes even camping in a tent feel luxurious as you are nestled under large shade trees with the Devil's Tower right in your backyard view.     Additionally there is abundant cell signal at all points around the park.    

While there is no firewood or a local store located in the park, less than 50 yards from the entrance gate is a general store and restaurant which has everything you need and despite being so close prices are fairly reasonable.   

I greatly enjoyed the area and also the company of the neighboring campers at this location, everyone was generally very friendly!!  I felt like in comparison to other area campgrounds the price was also just right for what was offered at only $20.     

TIPS:  

  • Get the Annual Pass for Parks for only $80 and save big if you are visiting more than one park.   There are several within a stones throw of this area you will want to visit including Wind Cave, Jewel Cave and Rushmore.
  • Try the Red Beds trail for a unique vantage point which seems completely disjointed from the look of Devil's Tower.   For more information about this I suggest doing a little research beforehand.

Quiet with view of DT

Quiet campground with a view of Devil’s Tower (all or almost all sites). Not as much privacy as campgrounds with more trees, but sites are far enough apart and large. Our site abutted a field and the river, and there were lots of deer across the river.

About as close as you can get to Devil's Tower

Small, well-maintained campground (two loops) inside of Devil’s Tower NP. If you have a senior parks pass, you can’t beat the$10 rate ($20 otherwise). Not a lot of privacy but good size sites (unlike the KOA where you are stacked up like dominos). Some have a little shade but not all of them. No hookups but (clean) flush toilets and running water. Some sites have a nearly unobstructed view of the tower while some you can see it through the trees. No reservations- first come, first serve. We arrived at 7 pm on a Thursday and got in but it eventually filled up. Spotty internet connection with Verizon. Easy walk to Sacred Ring of Smoke sculpture and access to hiking trails.

A Pleasant Surprise

We made the detour out to Devils Tower and were pleasantly surprised. We did not expect to stay here but the beauty of the area and the quaintness of the campground changed our mind. We decided to make a stay out of it and are glad that we did. We enjoyed the Prairie Dogs right off the campground and the trail that leaves the campground up and around the tower is perfect for hiking and running. The river adds some beauty and tranquility to the area. We woke up in the morning to many songbirds and an amazing view of the tower. We will be back here again.

Go for the view

The National Park has a campgrounds at the foot of the mountain, water, bathrooms, picnic tables and fire rings provided. The sites are close together and the area is flat, many RV's so I think there were hook ups. The evening program provided by Park Volunteer rangers was interesting and told us the name was misinterpreted and actually was Great Bear Lodge in Sioux. The view of the tower from the campsite was mesmerizing and the storm with thunder and lighting kept me out of my tent long into the night.

Best views of the tower!

Great view of the tower, clean campsites and bathrooms! No showers but bathrooms have flushing toilets and sinks in the campground. Excellent picnic area with lots of tables and shade. Evening entertainment was also a huge hit! Friday night we participated in star gazing put on by the Park Rangers and it was out of this world, seriously try to plan your trip to include this, we were told it was offered every two weeks! Saturday night there was story telling and music at the amphitheater! Definitely check out the programs offered by the Park it will make your stay that much more memorable!

Sweet Little Campground with a view of Devil's Tower

Pulled up right at dusk and found numerous spots open. Nice little affordable ($22) campground with clean bathrooms, flush toilets, and a view of Devil's tower. Not a lot of privacy or room between the spots, but lots of huge old oak trees and soft grass. Had some annoying climbers up at 5am making noise getting ready, but overall a very pleasant spot and I'd definitely go back.

Belle Fourche at Devil's Tower

We stopped here on our way to North Dakota. Nice little campground with picnic tables, fire pits, and public toilets which were clean. Lots of shady spots. No reservations so it's first come, first served. No hook-ups for RVs. Very close to Devil's Tower National Monument so the view is amazing! Avoid the first week in August as that's when thousands of motorcyclists descend upon Sturgis.
