The Lamphere Ranch. Walking distance from the Full Throttle and next to the Glencoe. Has showers which are cleaned daily and a nice little store / grill that serves great food all three meals of the day. Within walking distance from the crazy spots but just far enough away to get some sleep. Very reasonable priced and plenty of shade is available to hide from the sun.

First Post!!!!
Double Ditto on Rush-No-More, it's really two exit's south of Sturgis, not the campgrounds right out on the interstate, but back in canyon. It is a campground that goes all out to make biker's with RV's and tents have a great "QUIET" rally. RVer's better book early, tenters are 1st come , 1st serve....and they do fill up even though Roger has been expanding the campground every year. My wife and I have been staying there since Roger and Diane bought the place in '01 (?). Hard to count, been doing Sturgis since '82. They retired and sold it late last year to a "campground corporation", I hope the new owners keep the same great service.
We spend the week before Sturgis in Deadwood before the rates go up, this way the girls get spoiled and we can get away with more during the rally and come back to a nice campground.

+1 on Creekside campground. Close to everything, hot showers, clean bathrooms, store, restaurant and you can actually get some sleep.

Stay there every time we go. About a mile from the chip and 3 miles from down town Sturgis. Band every night, Bar, Store, Hot food, showers, washer & dryers, ETC... And you can sleep at night if you choose to.

Just a quick note about Rush No More Campground. It is a really nice campground. We just left there a few days ago. Of course this is after rally but got to know the new owners and new managers. They are an awesome group of people. This is a private owned campgound. It has a pool, hot tub, luxury sights with your own hot tub. Laundry facities and clean bathrooms. I was impressed. Haven't been to rally for a couple of years but have booked my stay for 2010 here. I know if you call them they will answer any of your questions. It is really nice and peaceful. Heard that the campground was pretty quite during rally. That was from a neighbor. Beautiful place. I would recommend it to anyone.

We stayed at Mooney's Hog Farm in Piedmont about 15 miles from Sturgis. Very nice campgrounds with good showers and the main building has a big kitchen. You can get all 3 meals there if you like, all homemade food and 3 or 4 different kinds of pie to choose from for dinner, with or without ice cream. Cost is $15 a night. Dang hard to beat. It's more of a quiet family style campground, not a big party place.

kathy.....welcome to the forum
My wife and I too enjoy Rushnomore, my only gripe is their rate did jump to $22 a day from last year's $18 if you don't stay the 10 day rate.
Also we booked out a day early and didn't get a refund or an offer to apply to next year's stay....bummer
So, with that, YES we will still stay at RNM, but I'm only paying for few days and then pay as you go.
