We stayed here the first week in June this year and it was wonderful. The family that owns and works there are very sweet people. They made us feel like friends and they were very helpful and curtious. The camp ground was very clean adn kept up. It was beautiful there. I also used their laundry room during our week... More

Julie and Paul are wonderful people that have a great campground. If you are looking for a million dollar resort, this is not it. But if you want a nice, clean, quiet campground within a short distance to all the things to see and do in SD, this is the place to go. We had a site up in the... More

Stayed at Horse Theif campground for 4 days. The campground is nice and clean and the owners are very nice. Very friendly and willing to help you with anything they can. They have many items such as food items, trash bags and even household supplies you might forget to bring at the office/store on the grounds. Rates are a bit... More

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

My wife and I have been coming to Horse Thief Campground for 4 years. It is our favorite place to spend our Sturgis Rally vacation.
