I chose Bear Den Cabins & Camp as a home base to explore the Black Hill’s and would do it again in a heartbeat. Tammy and her husband really care about their guests and wellbeing and offer a lot of nice amenities. Ice. Nice bathrooms. Propane fire pits. Laundry facility. Gas grills. So look no further! It’s a nice thing they have going here!

We had such an amazing stay in the Big Bear cabin! The location is perfect (central to Wind Cave NP, Badlands NP, Custer SP, Black Hills, Mt Rushmore, etc etc). Tammy is such a communicative & friendly host, she checked in with us on travel plans to make sure she met us right when we arrived, gave us a tour of the place, and told us to call if we needed anything (we didn't - everything was perfect already!) As a group of young women traveling across the US, we felt very safe here. The amenities were great: very clean showers - stocked with soap and shampoo in case you forget yours, laundry, microwave, ice, multiple campfire locations (one in front of our cabin, one on the communal deck) - stocked with s'mores sticks, a grill - stocked with grill materials, and plenty of lawn games. Big bear cabin is perfect for ~4 people, & the cabin was very clean, with comfy beds, multiple fans, a mini fridge, coffee machine, and small table area. Next time I'm in this part of SD, I'll definitely be back!

We LOVED staying here. It was a perfect balance of camping in nature and having all the conveniences available. We slept in our tents and I even spent a few nights under the stars sleeping in a hammock! Tammy has 2 beautiful covered areas that have Grills and fire pits along with seating. The bathrooms/showers are awesome. I had my Dad and my Aunt with me who are both in their 70’s it was a perfect balance. Each morning, we woke to deer and wild turkeys on the grounds., sounds of the birds singing. It was absolutely beautiful. If I’m going anywhere near South Dakota I will be staying here again. In addition to the covered areas, she has a washer and dryer available for use, as well as an ice machine. She bags ice up so you can top off your coolers. A sink, microwave and Keurig machine. Tammy and her husband were awesome hosts. I would HIGHLY recommended staying here. The area where they live is just gorgeous. We really could not have found a better place to camp. We got to have s’mores in the evening and just stargaze. It was peaceful and close to so many of the things we wanted to do while we were there. We saw Mt. Rushmore, the Badlands, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse Memorial and more.

Tammy went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable and we felt at home! This campground has some of the nicest and cleanest bathrooms that I have ever seen, and plenty of amenities to mingle with fellow campers. The location is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the cozy feels of this lovely campground!

It was just supposed to be a one night stop but we love it here so we stayed 2! Tammy was so welcoming and kind. And the showers, bathrooms etc were absolutely gorgeous. So clean and nice. We would absolutely come back if we're in the area again.

I just got back from staying with Tammy and Tim for 3 nights during the rally. All the reviews I had read were very good and I totally agree. Stayed in the Little Bear Cabin and I will make sure I stay there when I travel South again. Thanks for the warm hospitality and relaxing stay.

My family and i rented two tent spots. This place is amazing!!! Tammy is a great host! My daughter and her family had stayed in 2914, and she remembered them. My grandson loves the play area. Beautiful location. And the bathroom shower areas, perfection. I may drive from Texas to South Dakota again just to stay here!

We loved staying here. It's in a quiet, beautiful location. The owners were incredible and so kind to us, getting to know our names and giving us a tour of the area. The cabin, land, and facilities were very clean and even were stocked for us. I would definitely come back again.

This was absolutely the BEST place I have ever camped or glamped. Tammy and Tim were the friendliest and nicest hosts. They thought of everything to make our stay incredible. I would go back in a heartbeat if I only lived closer. I will definitely spread the word of the incredible owners and accommodations.

I decided to rent the large cabin after seeing how high the other reviews were and they don't lie. Tammy is an excellent host and went out of her way to introduce everyone to us and really made it feel like more than a hotel. The camp is quiet and scenic with extremely clean cabins and bathrooms, overall it's an excellent value for anyone planning on visiting the black hills and Custer state park.

So happy that we decided on this spot last minute. Tammy was great and super accommodating. The facilities and our cabin were amazing. This is one of those places you hate to share with others and just want to keep it your little secret. Awesome stay and we will be back!

Note: this property is open year-round. Cabins are heated, as well as heated water / showers etc. Alot in this area is closed seaonally, but not the case here. *Extremely clean, professional owners and added amenities for "camping." Tammy and Tim take pride in their camp, and run a nice property with very clean bathrooms, common area with grills, propane fire circles, utility space with w&d, sink, microwave, ice, and more. I stayed in smaller of two cabins. Perfect for 1-3 people.

We only had one night there, as it was on the end of a long road trip, but we will return for more time. Tammy and Tim are gracious and generous hosts, and the showers and bathrooms are pristinely clean and superbly maintained. They provide fresh coffee and ice on a donation basis. The tent!!!! Beautiful, clean, not a bug or spider web to be found. We loved our late-night encounter with the local buck and his lady friends. Our intention was to camp in our tent, but Tammy gifted us with a night in a Glamp tent so we could hurry off to the night program at Mt. Rushmore without having to worry about setting up our tent and could get out earlier in the morning for our long drive home. Meeting kind strangers who quickly become friends are the best part of travel. Tammy and Tim are exceptional hosts, and Bear Den Campground is on our list of favorite places.

Our glamping experience at Bear Den was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the attention to detail and the warm hospitality by Tammy. She was an absolute gem—so sweet and accommodating. Our glamping tent far exceeded the pictures—it was even more impressive in person. The amenities exceeded our expectations, and the natural surroundings were breathtaking. The restroom/shower house was impeccably clean, which added so much comfort to our stay. Every aspect of this place is thoughtfully designed to surprise and delight. We truly loved every moment and can't think of a single thing to improve. Thank you so much, Tammy, for creating such a perfect getaway. Take care!

Tim and Tammy are the best kinds of people! Great hosts with a great place having nice amenities at a very fair price! The bathroom/shower was always clean. On-site laundry and ice are offered. The only thing to note is that the cell coverage is spoty, so be prepared for that (obviously out of their control). Very close to some great attractions, and maybe 5 minutes from Custer State Park. Reach out if you're considering it. It's worth it!
