1st Time to Sturgis and need opinions
May be our first time out to Sturgis and need a little info on where to stay. I know it's last minute, which I don't like, but any way. All 3 places are either homes or condos for 2 people 5 nights but I don't know which would be best. Not much of a camper and would rather pay a little more for a little comfort. I don't know if staying farther away is worth the savings.
$375 Terry Peak - 40 minutes to Sturgis
$500 Boulder Canyon - 20 minutes
$700 Spearfish (near airport) - 20 minutes
Just weighing all of my options and would like to hear from those who have been.

I dont think you can go wrong with any of those locations.
Terry Peak will cool off nicely in the evening and after the last 3 weeks of 100+ temps that will be a good thing IMO. The next week is still 90+ forecast and would expect the same during the rally. Now with that said bring rain gear! I cant remember a year that it didn't rain during the rally at least a couple times :0)
That 40 minute ride from Terry Peak to Sturgis is a beautiful ride! You will also be centrally located in the hills to head out to Spearfish, Deadwood, Rapid, Hill City, Custer, and on and on.

Also depends on WHEN you go: a lot of people do the week before/after thing.
If you are thinking of the Spearfish area towards the end of July, you are going to have LOTS of company !
