For the avid camper, you'll discover camping areas in the Black Hills offer the best of conditions: cool nights with few mosquitoes, no bears, and breath-taking scenery. South Dakota features campsites galore, and many of these offer evening entertainment, horseback rides, shuttle services, and convenience stores. Camping in these parts is an event as much as an activity and taken seriously.
2 great campground sites to keep in mind are Wind Cave Campground, offering 75 sites for tents and recreational vehicles in the midst of beautiful pines, Badlands Campgrounds for true primitives looking for the real meaning of "roughing it," and if you needs supplies, you can find the all-purpose Mighty Mart conveniently located close to Mount Rushmore.
It is a good idea to make reservations, because the best spots are usually claimed rather quickly-by mid morning. So, plan to get there bright and early. Also, no campground in the Black Hills area is more than 90 minutes from Mount Rushmore-a great plus for families and history buffs everywhere.
