My husband and I stayed in our RV for labor day weekend and enjoyed our stay. The owners were very friendly during check in and later on when asked about things to see nearby. It was very crowded but that's to be expected for that time of year. The campsites are small and very close together but were large enough... More

My husband and me have spent a night in a cabin last August and loved it! The campground is quiet and very secluded, with many trees around and no noise from the road. At the same time, Hill city (with all the restaurants and shops) and the major turistic attractions are all pretty close. Cabins have no frills but are... More

We stayed at the Horsethief during the 2012 Sturgis Rally Week and had a wonderful experience! Very well kept, clean, and friendly owners as well as respectful fellow campers. We would stay here again!

Our trip to South Dakota was a last minute change in plans...we had no idea what to expect or what we would experience. We are Canadian and simply googled possible campsites around Mount Rushmore, not knowing the area or history. Horse Thief Campground received good reviews, so we set their address into our GPS and were on our way. Our... More

We visited July 24-29, 2012. Loved the place. Easy to check in and out. Easy to set up camp. The place was clean. Everyone we met were all nice. Clean laundry room if you needed. This place was not far from town- Hill City, but off the main road to feel like you were camping in the Hills. Lots of... More

Four of us in a 20' hybrid camper stayed at Horse Sh#! Campground June 26, 27, & 28, 2012. The management was nice. The restrooms/showers were clean and had plenty of hot water. The location is really pretty good, not far from the awesome Needles Hwy., Custer State Park, and Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorials. The negative is the... More

Our family of 5 stayed at Horsethief Campground from July 22 to July 28, 2012. We highly recommend this campground to anyone. The service was great and the location is central to all the attractions. Our kids loved the wilderness setting and the ability to go swimming as often as they could. Right out every door are peaks to climb... More
