Sturgis-Area Campgrounds (2025)
Sturgis Buffalo Chip
The Legendary Sturgis Buffalo Chip campground is more than a place to sleep — it’s a full rally destination. With major concerts (including Nickelback, ZZ Top, Marilyn Manson and Jason Aldean in 2025), on-site parties, and massive biker energy, it’s perfect for those wanting the full-throttle experience. Tent and RV camping available — just remember: quiet time doesn’t exist here.
Glencoe Camp Resort
Known for its massive size and vibrant community, Glencoe Camp Resort is one of the premier camping experiences during rally week. It offers shaded and open campsites, RV hookups, cabins, and amenities like hot showers, laundry, and a convenience store. Plus, you’ll find an on-site bar, live entertainment, and regular rally shuttle service. It’s a party-friendly spot with more structure and facilities than some wilder campgrounds.
Rush No More
Located 10 minutes from Main Street, Rush No More offers a peaceful, amenity-rich experience with cabins, RV and tent sites, a pool, hot tub, beer garden, and live music. It’s big-rig-friendly and includes rally perks like a free bike wash, paved roads, and a shuttle to town.
Days End Campground
Just off Avalanche Road, Days End features over 250 RV sites, 20 acres of tent space, and nearly 40 cabins. It’s one of the largest campgrounds near downtown and great for both groups and solo riders.
Suzie’s Campground
For a relaxed, family-owned feel, Suzie’s Campground offers an inviting atmosphere just outside the rally chaos. With full RV hookups, shaded tent sites, and clean amenities, it’s a great fit for riders looking for a low-key, friendly environment. The location also provides easy access to both Sturgis and nearby riding routes in the Black Hills.
Katmandu Campground
If you're looking for a laid-back, rider-friendly experience with a true local vibe, Katmandoo Campground delivers. This casual rally base features basic tent and RV camping, a central fire pit, and an on-site bar with live music and great rally energy.

Hotels Outside Sturgis
Historic Franklin Hotel – Deadwood, SD

An hour outside Sturgis, the Alpine Inn is a scenic retreat with antique-decorated rooms and an acclaimed German restaurant. It’s ideal for those looking for a quiet, affordable alternative to the downtown buzz.
Unique Sturgis Lodging Options
Private Rooms
Many locals open their homes to rally attendees. Renting a private room through Airbnb, VRBO, or Facebook Marketplace can be a budget-friendly and comfortable option — with the bonus of local hospitality.
Entire Homes
Traveling with friends? Booking an entire home might offer more space and amenities than hotels or campgrounds. You can split the cost with your group and enjoy your own kitchen, parking, and privacy.
Cabins
From rustic to luxury, cabins offer a blend of comfort and rally energy. Many campgrounds rent cabins, and you’ll also find private listings on Airbnb or VRBO.
Tiny Homes
Tiny homes are growing in popularity near Sturgis. These compact yet functional units give you the comfort of a full-size house at a fraction of the price — and are perfect for solo riders or couples looking to stay off the beaten path.
Plan Early, Ride Easy
No matter where you stay — downtown hotel, party campground, or scenic rental — booking early is essential for the 2025 Sturgis Rally. Availability disappears fast, and the sooner you reserve, the better your options.
