Firehouse Campground

ATV riders and anglers find direct trail access and quality fishing opportunities at this private campground near Hill City. The facility operates under new ownership with a small number of sites featuring full hookups for RVs, plus cabin rentals with local artwork and pine interiors.

The shower house and restroom facilities earn consistent praise from visitors for cleanliness. Sites provide electric, water, and sewer connections, though campers should note that site #7 sits near the main sewer cleanout and may experience fly issues. The campground sits close enough to Sheridan Lake for easy water access and connects to the Mickelson Trail system for biking. Marla J. notes "You can bike to several wineries, Mickelson Trail and Sheridan Lake."

An on-site bistro and brewery operate on adjacent property, offering food service and live music events. The campground allows pets and accepts reservations. Several nearby alternatives include Robins Roost Cabins and Sawtooth RV Park and Cabins for additional accommodation options.

This setup works well for RV campers wanting full services while maintaining access to Black Hills recreation and dining on-site.

Multiple campers commented on the excellent facilities and friendly management at this newly renovated campground. The location offers great access to Black Hills attractions, though site selection matters due to one problematic spot.

Do NOT stay in #7

Good location. But we got stuck in #7. It had the clean out for all the sewer lines. Flies all over the place.

Great campground

We ended up at this campground after a very late decision to book a trip in July. It was a very nice surprise. It is under new ownership and this is their 1st summer open. The host was great and very friendly. The sites and shower house were very nice and there is a nice view of the black hills. Only a handful of sites but sounds like they are in the process of adding more. The brewery/ restaurant on the adjacent property is an added benefit. Would definitely stay here again!

Convenient location and good food

This campground is the perfect spot for exploring the Black Hills. You can bike to several wineries, Mickelson Trail and Sheridan Lake. Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse are just a short drive away.
The campground itself is brand new, so the shower house and bathrooms were nice. Our cabin was basic, but cozy with fun local artwork inside.
Our camphost was very nice and helped us with area recommendations. The food at the bistro is AMAZING.

Great Location and food!

Easy access to ATV trails and the BEST fishing hole in the hills (I caught two decent brown trout). The food and live music was exceptional, be sure to try the dessert. 
The cabins were very cute with trendy pine interior and artwork. Good value for location.
