Best Tent Camping near Devils Tower National Monument

We tent camped here for a night. All tent sites are given out on a first come first serve basis. We got a quiet spot along the Spearfish River for $25/night. This campground has an awesome bathroom and shower which require a code to access. Definitely will stay here again.

Very nice KOA at the base of Devils tower national Monument. Nice grass camp site with water and electricity. Shaded in late afternoon and early morning. Great views of the Tower. Clean bathrooms, shower rooms and large laundry facility’s.

Evening outdoor showing of Close Encounters and fun to hear the tones through night air.

Entrance to the park is next to the park so you could ride bikes in or hike it in.

Was fine is almost always full. Charge 18 a night to tent camp

Campground seems large but sites are pretty densely packed. I tent in back of my pickup so like a little more space. Mostly designed for RVs and trailers, but there are tent sites with and without electricity. Didn't use the shower house because of drenching rain. There is a small vault toilet near tent sites which was pretty deplorable for so early in the season. For the price, id rather stay at Rocky point state rec area campground.

Tent sites are packed in. Great showers and bathroom. Hot Tub was a plus.

Devil's Tower KOA has an incredible view and is adjacent to the Devil's Tower National Monument Entrance.

Lovely KOA with all the KOA amenities, one bathroom/showerhouse in great shape and the other under renovation. They have a pool and playground and of course had a showing of 'Close Encounters'. The camping cabin we stayed in was clean and comfortable with AC and heat available. The view of the tower from the cabin was stunning.

I was very impressed with the trees and space between sites in this KOA - quarters were not as tight as we sometimes see. An excellent KOA.

The Devil's Tower area is a beautiful lanscape, with deep native roots. When in the area please respect it and learn about the stories and traditions of its caretakers.

Tent site no hookups. A little expensive but a couple miles from devils tower. Cook lake offers fishing, kayaking, etc. no pets on devil tower trails.

Tent sites are in an open field with a handful of trees. The trade off is the wide open skies and STARS. Bathrooms and Showers are Awesome!

Not many tent sites, but decent amount of space. Some shade. Very clean bathrooms and showers. Nice pool area. Convenient off the interstate. Good location.

This is a beautiful campground.  The grounds are just about spotless.  The RV sites are pretty small with maybe 6 ft between campers.  The tent sites are quite spacious.

This is an absolutely gorgeous location right below Devils Tower. The camp ground is beautiful. With a wonderful gift shop, restaurant , outdoor movie nights, cabins, RV and tent sites that mingle thrushes valley.

This campground is literally a 2 minute walk from tent to the park entrance! There’s a huge store with an ice cream shop and restaurant. The folks are really nice too. There’s a huge grass area for first come, first served tent camping, which I totally recommend! The Premium Tent (PT) sites are very large and can hold at least 3 8-person tents.

Nice flat camping sites, pleasant owners, live on site and are very helpful. Tent site was near the river, and the sound of the river helped drowned out the nearby highway noise.

there are very tiny spots cut out for all but one tent site (50.) we had to park in front of the area to set up our tiny two person tent. however, there is a trolley to deadwood and it’s only $1 so it saves tremendously on hotel fees.

Camped on a Sunday and there were plenty of open spots in the tent camping area. Everyone had plenty of room and a short walk to the restrooms/showers. Best part of this campsite is the creek that flows literally through the sites. Would highly recommend. No reservations for the primitive sites. Very friendly staff.

Super quiet. Checkin was a bit confusing for a tent site since no one was at the checkin cabin. We talked to some campers and they said to reserve a “spot” online and then find a place to pitch a tent in the shaded area on the map. 🤷‍♂️

$28 for a night

The staff was super nice, and I loved that they showed "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" every night during the summer with Devil's Tower in the background. The campground is right next to the national monument. The tent sites were somewhat exposed, but that gives a good view of the monument.

We were noticing all the campgrounds around seemed to NOT have trees. We are tent camping, so shade is of utmost importance. Reuter did not let us down! Surrounded by big pines and aspen trees, it was a diamond in the rough for sure. Big pines all over. Our campsite had a good level spot for the tent. IT was DEAD quiet at night. We got an amazing night sleep. Bathrooms were clean. No running water because it’s technically the off season...but no complaints from us!

If you are tent camping and want to stay near spearfish canyon this is a great option. There’s only a few sites and it’s first come first served but we managed to get a site at the end next to the creek after pulling in on a Saturday afternoon. There was a small waterfall that helped drown out some of the noise of UTVs driving by. Very little light pollution which provided for excellent star gazing in the evening!

Hanna CG is in the running for fav CG in the black hills. Small, but has 3 shaded sites next to the creek (1,2,3). Nice 1.1 mile hike that starts next to Host site. If you just tent camp, there are about 5 sites off by themselves with a vault toilet. Pretty, grassy area. Pup enjoyed cooling off in the creek. Never saw the host. It seems they have Tues and Thursday off thru out the black hills.
