Destination Black Hills with RV & ATV

Get trail maps and info for trails from bhnf. Many private camps have access to the trails, get the info first, then choose a camp or boondock spot. PM me for ideas.

Steel Wheel CG outside Deadwood is popular with ATV folks. Very well run campground in the mountains. Deadwood is nearby.

I'll start there. Thanks for the tips!

Haven't been there since 2005 but the riding was great. Laws allow you to ride the roads so finding trails is easy. Coming from PA where they fly helicopters to try to catch ATVers, SD was a breath of fresh air and all of the restaurants, gas stations, and businesses welcome you rather than call the police on you. Enjoy! When we were there we did not have GPS so we got pretty lost. Trails are endless and beautiful. Pretty much, as long as it's not posted you can ride. Enjoy

We stayed at Mystic Hills Campground in 2011. Very friendly owners and willing to help you pick some trail loops matched to your style of riding.

If your doing the trails on your Atv download the map app called avenzamaps. The owners of the campground we stayed at recommended it and it was awesome. Works without cell service ( don't ask me how, but he does surveying all over out there and said it was what he used). We could see on the phone if we went off the trail. Saved us a couple of wrong turns. The place we rented the ATV from said for $35 more he had an I pad with the trails on it. I told him we had that app, and he said that's what he used in his iPads that he rented.
