    Black Fox Campground

    Close enough to town and yet remote camping

    The drive to Black Fox is along quite a few ranches and follows a river. The drive is enjoyable and not very difficult to handle. The campground is right along the river. The rapids made music that is peaceful and inviting. 

    A large group of ATVs drove in to picnic. Along with one other family, the campground was pretty empty. 

    What better camp than right along a bubbling river? Off road trails are the closest draw. The Michelson trail has an access point a few miles down the road. Pay the access fee and enjoy the trail with hikers, bikers, and horses. 

    Although some of the sites had a bit too much water and were muddy, the bulk of the 9 sites were perfect.

    Walk to downtown Deadwood

    We stayed overnight in a PT W/E site for $38. The whole park is gravel, with some muddy potholes. They have several horse camping sites too and a few guests were using the stables. It's a short and safe walk into downtown Deadwood, if you'd like to do some drinking and walk home... which is exactly what we did.

    Iron Creek Lake Campground

    Beautiful Family Campground

    We camped at Iron Creek Lake after the rally, at the end of August.  It was wonderful, not crowded.  The cafe/diner has things like burgers and ice cream, and the fishing in the lake is great.  The trail around the lake is easy to walk and there is some beach area for frog catching and splashing around with little kids.  This is a great lake to have a water toy like a kayak, and there are rentals available too.  We have a 30' TT and didn't have any problem at the far end of the lake setting up flat and level camping.  Power was there as well.  There are many sites here on a hill, so depending on what you get, you may be in for a tricky parking situation with a longer trailer.  We didn't even use the dumpstation as the way it is positioned I couldn't get the tanks dumped, so that was a bummer.  We went into Spearfish campground owned by the city and dumped there.

    Black Fox Campground

    Quaint and Cozy Campground!

    Nestled up in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota, Black Fox is our 'go to' campground because of how small it is. 8-10 sites that are spread out so you're not right beside other campers. Black Fox has 1 vaulted toilet and every camp site has its own fire pit and picnic table. There is a small creek that runs right behind many of the camp sites so if you feel like doing a little rainbow trout fishing, you can. If your not into fishing, just hop on to your ATV and go explore the many trails that are situated right around the campground. Not only will you be able to enjoy nature, but you will see elk, deer, turkey and if your lucky, a mountain lion!

    Whistler Gulch Campground & RV Park

    Not great for tents

    Maybe if your in an RV it’s better? Tent sites are all the way at the top of the hill. Not even in walking distance to bathrooms, showers or the pool. We felt remote up there, which I suppose isn’t a bad thing. Very uneven grassy spaces. They did have shuttle to town. Convenient to town deadwood and lead and to attractions.

    Whistler Gulch Campground & RV Park

    Improved sites

    Owners are working on improving sites. They are pretty level. Currently, sites are close together and they are in the process of merging 2 into 1. Location is quiet. There is a place to walk dogs. Deadwood trolley comes right to the CG to transport you downtown.

    Whistler Gulch Campground & RV Park

    Tight sites but great location

    We stay in site # 220 with Full hook up. We backed up to a mountain not a bad view.  Would have liked to have been a little closer to the pool and where the trolley picks up it was a walk from our site. The pool which was clean & refreshing and quiet.

     You can trolley from the campground into town Deadwood it's $1.00 each way. Some trolley drivers are so funny they seem to have a good time. It's fun to see the shoot out in the street with Wild Bill Hickok & Calamity Jane. The cemetery where they are buried is a 5 minute drive or trolley from the campground. 

    They do have some ATV people camp there they go up the mountain & run around but it wasn't loud. 

    Sturgis is close, nice little drive. Fun place we didn't go when the big bike event. 

    Deadwood is a cool town love to eat at Saloon 10 a great Ribeye steak, doesn't hurt to make a reservation it can be very busy. Good burgers too.  Deadwood Dick's is a bar/ Antique store we cruised through that Love his logo.
