The beautiful setting offered a perfect blend of remote feel and convenient access to downtown for the 20 or so campers.\n\nThe aspen grove provided shady, flat spaces for tents and hammocks, plus level parking for cars and camper vans. Climbers loved the nearby granite outcroppings. The large firepit with free firewood was a huge bonus, making our evenings even more enjoyable. They are even putting up an outdoor kitchen, which will be great when it is finished.\n\nHighly recommend for a beautiful, convenient, and unique camping experience in the Black Hills!" }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rachel O." }, "datePublished": "September 1, 2025", "reviewBody": "The host was very helpful and communicative in providing information about the site and answering questions.
