Looking for Cabins &/or Lodges in the Mt. Rushmore area to stay for a week to visit Bad Lands and Devils Tower. Unfortunately will not be able to take camper for this trip. So appreciate suggestions...does Rushmore have a lodge &/or nice cabin rentals to stay for a week. Trying to avoid hotel stays during our time there (and using them for travel to & from).

If your destinations are Badlands and Devils Tower look down along the interstate either in Rapid or Spearfish.

Broken Arrow mile or so south of Custer. FHU great view of the Cathedral Towers up toward Sylvan Lake. Short drive to downtown for supplies. Sites are a bit small but the staff is first rate friendly. . . and they have ice cream socials

The Roost just between Custer SD and Custer State Park is a nice little campground with several cabins which are very nice. It's a good location for touring the Black Hills and Custer State which is not to be missed!

I mentioned the Rafter J Bar Ranch has cabins in your other post. My advice would be to try and choose a centrally located place to stay and day trip out of there. Take a look at Google Maps before you make reservations. Some places with cabins are very close to the highway. The KOA nearest Mount Rushmore is a bit of a "cattle pen." Drive by it and you will know what I mean. The KOA near Custer is nicer but a little more out of the way. In any case the Black Hills is a big area, so allow time for driving. Get your reservations early!

We stayed at Creekside Campground outside of Deadwood when we were there in May. They had cabins available, but since we had our trailer, we didn't check them out. I will say that the restrooms/showers were about the cleanest we have ever come across in a campground.

X2 on the KOA in Custer, SD. About 45 miles south of I-90. I had a FHU Pull thru site with WIFI. I spent two full days in the Custer Museum. Actually, five museums in one building.
Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.

The KOA at Custer, SD is extremely nice.

Yes I was hoping to find campgrounds that have cabins & get best of both worlds w/o having to stay in hotel.
