Brother and I are wanting to ride to Sturgis this year, problem is we can only stay from Aug. 2nd to the 5th. Now I am sure most of you know that rooms/cabins nearby want you to stay the whole rally, and as much as we want to we have to be out of there. So, does anyone in this forum have ideas on places for the few nights we plan on being there?
Try the "First Gold Casino" in Deadwood. Stayed there last year. About 175.00 per night, but clean and simple. Covered parking in front and back, buffets etc. Located at the north? end of Deadwood right near the Sturgis turnoff so you don't have to fight the traffic in Deadwood. About 10 mi to Sturgis, nice ride. http://www.firstgold.com/ Phone: 800-274-1876
We are going to camp at the Chip this year, but let me know if you need more help.
If you're OK with staying in the south end of the Hills you might try Custer. I made a reservation a couple weeks ago for the same dates and I recall Custer had some room...believe the Rocket was one.
I plan to leave Oklahoma with my tent and bedroll, never intending to make a reservation anywhere. Most all of the campgrounds will let you stay a night without a reservation.
