Less IS More!

Do you have a compact RV or Camper Van?

Consider one of our small FHU sites at a discounted rate. Select "Discounted Site" on our booking site.

A Great Stay Starts Here

These guidelines exist so every guest — including you — can relax, unwind, and actually enjoy their time in the Black Hills. We keep things pretty simple: be respectful, look out for your neighbors, and leave your site better than you found it.

Guests who can’t respect their fellow campers or our staff may be asked to leave without a refund. We hope it never comes to that.

Questions or concerns? Reach out to us anytime.

The Golden Rule

Treat your neighbors the way you’d want to be treated. If you’re a seasoned camper and someone nearby looks like they could use a hand, lend one — it’s one of the best parts of camping culture.

RVs

We reserve the right to refuse service to any RV that doesn’t meet our standards.

  • All RVs and vehicles must be in good working condition.
  • RVs should be RVIA or ANSI certified for the safety of all guests.
  • If your RV is more than 20 years old, please email us with your contact info and a photo before booking. We’ll get back to you quickly and are happy to get you set up.
  • Tarps are not permitted for weatherproofing.
  • All hoses and wiring should be routed through manufacturer-supplied ports and kept clear of walkways.

Check-Out

Check-out is at 11:00 a.m. for both RV sites and cabins.

Pet Policy

We love pets! Up to 2 dogs or cats are welcome at RV sites. Have more than 2? Call us at (855) 937-5478 ext. 2 and we’ll see how we can help. Please note: pets are not permitted in the cabins.

  • Only dogs and cats are permitted.
  • Keep a copy of your pet’s vaccination records handy — we may ask for them.
  • Pets must be on a leash at all times (max 15 feet), except when in the Dog Run.
  • Pets cannot be left tied up or unattended at any time.
  • Please clean up after your pet, including in the Dog Run.
  • Excessive barking should be addressed promptly out of courtesy to neighbors.
  • Pet owners are responsible for any damages caused by their animals.
  • Pet waste left on your site at checkout will result in a $100 cleanup fee.
  • Due to liability, aggressive dog breeds are not permitted.

Respect Your Campsite

  • Don’t alter the electrical, water, or sewer connections at your site.
  • Keep your site tidy and free of clutter or fire hazards.
  • No digging trenches or holes.
  • Trash left behind at checkout will result in a $15/bag fee.
  • Any damage to park property will be billed to the guest on file.
  • Please stay on paved areas — no parking or driving on the grass.
  • If you’re using a mat or carpet during a stay of 7+ days, please move it weekly to protect the grass underneath.

Be a Good Neighbor

This is a community, and everyone deserves to enjoy it.

  • Illegal or offensive behavior will not be tolerated.
  • Loud or disruptive behavior — regardless of the source — is not acceptable.
  • Threatening, intimidating, or persistently disruptive behavior will result in immediate removal from the park without refund.
  • Please note: South Dakota state law requires guests to be 21 or older to consume alcohol.

Quiet Hours

10:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m.

Quiet hours don’t mean the fun has to stop — just keep the volume down. Some of your neighbors have early mornings ahead of them. Keep conversations low, music off or minimal, and let the kids wind down for the night. We appreciate it, and so will the campers next door.

Generators

Generators are only permitted for dry camping. If you’re dry camping, please be mindful of run times and keep noise to a minimum for those around you.

Respect Your Neighbors' Space

Please stay on the paths and avoid cutting through other guests’ campsites. Remind your kids and guests to do the same — it’s a small thing that goes a long way.

Children & Guests

Children under 12 must be supervised by an adult (18+) at all times.

The reservation holder is responsible for the behavior of all children and guests in their party.

Fireworks

Fireworks of any kind are not permitted at Black Hawk Creek RV Park & Cabins.

Firearms

Firearms of any kind are not permitted at Black Hawk Creek RV Park & Cabins.

Keep Food Stored Away

It’s not just squirrels who’ll take an interest in unattended food — and some of those other visitors are a lot less charming. Store food securely to keep the wildlife wild.

Packages & Mail

You’re welcome to have items shipped to the park during your stay. Packages will be held at the office or with the camp host for pickup.

Please note: if multiple packages arrive in a single day, a $2/package handling fee may apply.

Campfires

  • Wood-burning open-flame campfires and fire pits are not currently permitted.
  • Gas fire pits and propane/briquette BBQ grills are welcome.
  • If conditions change to allow open-flame fires, you’ll be notified directly by park management.
  • When finished, make sure your fire pit, grill, or charcoal is fully extinguished before stepping away — never leave hot coals unattended.

Firewood

  • Please leave firewood at home. Transporting firewood can spread insects and disease that threaten local forests.
  • If and when open-flame fires are permitted, we’ll offer local firewood for purchase.
  • Never take wood from standing trees.
  • Always follow local fire laws and any active burn bans in the area.

Extended Stays

Looking to stay longer? We offer extended stay options for qualified guests, with seasonal pricing available.

Contact us for more information.

Mobile Skirting

Long-term stays at non-metered sites from November through April require professional vinyl mobile skirting. Rigid foam board, plywood, old billboards, and metal skirting are not acceptable materials.

If you need a skirt, please contact Custom Skirting, LLC, who provides on-site mobile skirting services for our guests.

Late Arrivals

Arriving after dark? No problem. We’ll leave your site information on the bulletin board at the office. Just look for a pamphlet with your name.

Early Morning Departures

If you’re heading out before sunrise, try to pack up what you can the night before so your exit is quick and quiet. Be mindful of compartment doors and vehicle noise — especially diesel engines — while the rest of the park is still asleep.
