Cuzn Eddyz Campground

17 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Cuzn Eddyz Campground in Merna, NE, offers 17 full-hookup RV sites and 2 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. At 80 feet the pull-thrus take the longest coaches — genuinely useful on a cross-Nebraska run. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and firewood cover the essentials. The bath house and laundry are keypad-locked; the campground provides the codes at check-in. Pets are welcome. A ball field, a playground, and horseshoes fill the grounds, in a campground built as much around the gathering space as the sites. Merna sits at the junction of Highway 2 and Highway 92 in the heart of the Sandhills — the 19,000-square-mile grass-stabilized dune system that is the largest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the darkest night skies in the country. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Highway 2 is a designated scenic byway and summer traffic fills the park, so reserve ahead.

Scottsbluff YMCA Trails West Camp

12 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites

Scottsbluff YMCA Trails West Camp overlooks the North Platte River beneath the bluffs of Scotts Bluff National Monument in western Nebraska, offering 12 cabins and seven tent sites with an outdoor pool and a pavilion. Managed by the regional YMCA, the camp serves organized group retreats and individual travelers alike. Twelve cabins provide accommodations with modern comforts, and seven tent sites cover simpler camping. This is a camp rather than an RV park — there are no RV hookups here, and guests should plan accordingly. An events facility handles group functions, which is a substantial part of what the property does. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool anchors the recreation, with gaga ball on the grounds and swimming and birding along the river. The creek and river frontage and the pavilion give groups room to spread out, and the setting does the rest. The landscape carries genuine historical weight. Scotts Bluff National Monument's commanding profile rises directly above the camp, marking the gateway through which hundreds of thousands of Oregon, California, and Mormon Trail pioneers passed in the mid-nineteenth century on their way west. The camp sits on the river's north bank directly beneath it — few properties put guests this close to a landmark of that significance. The camp serves the western Nebraska season, with summer group programming and family stays driving demand. Group retreat dates book well in advance and can fill the property, so check availability early if you are planning around specific dates.

Cheyenne RV Resort

42 RV Sites, 6 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites

Cheyenne RV Resort in Cheyenne, WY, offers 42 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites, 6 cabins, and 17 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 85 feet. Sites come in two categories, standard and premium pull-thrus, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Every site is a pull-thru and the maximum length is 85 feet — a long coach with a toad pulls straight through. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a snack bar, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, a clubhouse, and a pet washing station cover the rest. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, mini-golf, a pavilion, a playground, a pond, walking trails, volleyball, basketball, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with hiking, biking, swimming, birding, and High Plains stargazing. A state park is nearby. Cheyenne is the state capital at the junction of I-25 and I-80, where the High Plains meet the Laramie Range — and the home of Cheyenne Frontier Days each July. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Frontier Days week books out a year ahead.

Hidden Lake Campground and Resort

18 RV Sites, 8 Cabins

Hidden Lake Campground and Resort in Hot Springs, South Dakota, offers 18 RV sites and eight cabins on a private lake in the Black Hills' southern tier, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Boat, kayak, and bike rentals sit on a property offering a more intimate alternative to the Hills' larger commercial campgrounds. Eighteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eight cabins serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. The private lake anchors the experience. Boat rentals, kayak rentals, and paddle boats put guests on the water, with fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding from the shoreline. Bike rentals, walking trails, hiking, biking, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, and planned activities fill the rest, with strong stargazing and birding across the property. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs sits in Fall River County where the Black Hills give way to the high plains. Wind Cave National Park preserves the transition zone's grassland and underground cave ecology just north, with a state park nearby and the full Black Hills circuit within reach — but far enough from the core tourism corridor that the campground stays quiet. Summer is peak across the Black Hills, and the August Sturgis rally tightens availability regionally. With 18 sites and a private lake, reserve well ahead for July and August.

Lakeview Haven

28 RV Sites

Lakeview Haven in Glendo, WY, offers 28 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, propane fills, and on-site dining handle the essentials, with WiFi across the property and cabins available for guests without a rig. Campfires are allowed in the public fire pits rather than at individual sites, and tents need their own tent site — you can't pitch one beside a cabin. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground and a basketball court for kids. A fishing pier on the property puts guests on the water, and the community fire pit is where the evening ends up. Glendo sits in the high plains of Platte County on the shore of Glendo Reservoir, a North Platte River impoundment known for walleye and for some of the emptiest, clearest night skies in Wyoming. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. The reservoir's summer season is short and busy — reserve ahead for July and August.

Cloud Nine Camping

4 Tent Sites, 6 Onsite RV/Trailers, 1 Tiny House

Cloud Nine Camping in Hermosa, South Dakota, offers RV sites, tent camping, and cabin accommodations across 33 private acres enclosed by Black Hills National Forest on three sides, one mile off the highway between Rapid City and Custer. A general store, community fire pit, dump station, and sports courts serve a campground built around forest quiet rather than resort programming. RV sites and tent sites occupy the wooded acreage, with cabin accommodations for guests traveling without a rig. A dump station serves RV guests, and a general store stocks basics with firewood available on site. Restrooms and WiFi cover the practical needs. This is ponderosa pine country at roughly 4,800 feet, where the trees are large enough to give genuine shade and the national forest boundary begins at the property line. Pets are welcome. The forest setting is the draw. Hiking trails run off the back side of the property directly into national forest land, with walking trails on the grounds and sports courts and volleyball for on-site recreation. The dark, high-elevation sky makes for excellent stargazing, and the surrounding pine forest supports strong bird and wildlife watching. The campground positions itself explicitly as an alternative to the crowded, heavily developed campgrounds nearer the major attractions — guests get forest privacy without the remoteness penalty that adds an hour to every drive. Custer State Park is three miles south, Lakota Lake three miles, Center Lake six, and Mount Rushmore and Keystone seven. Grocery stores are in Hermosa and Hill City, with smaller convenience stores in Keystone. The campground serves the Black Hills summer season, when Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park traffic peaks. Reserve ahead for July and August, and note that the August Sturgis rally tightens availability across the entire region.

Beaver Lake Campground

75 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites

Beaver Lake Campground in Custer, South Dakota, offers 68 RV sites, nine cabins, and six tent sites at 5,300 feet in the Black Hills, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric categories at both amperages join back-in and pull-through tiers, with a water park, outdoor pool, and recreation center. Sixty-eight sites span back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, back-in water-and-electric 50-amp, back-in full-hookup 30-amp, back-in full-hookup 50-amp, pull-thru water-and-electric 30-amp, and pull-thru full-hookup categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Check your tier before booking — the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Nine cabins and six tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Registered guests are responsible for the conduct of everyone at their site. A water park and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a recreation center, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, a playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Pets are welcome. The elevation delivers reliably cool summer temperatures when the plains swelter, and Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, and the Needles Highway are all within easy striking distance of camp. Julian and Kachina Starr own and operate it. Summer is the short, intense season in the Black Hills, with the Sturgis rally week tightening the whole region. Reserve well ahead.
