As you pass the Cloud Nine sign and wind your way up the quiet road, you’ll leave the everyday behind and enter a world where pine and oak trees tower above, ancient rock formations rise from the earth, and the peaceful rhythm of nature takes center stage. Tucked a half mile beyond the entrance, The Ponderosa Palace offers a tranquil setting set apart from the main road, allowing for an immersive outdoor experience without sacrificing comfort. Your tent is surrounded by the quiet hum of wilderness, and if you’re lucky, you may spot a deer grazing nearby, hear the distant call of a wild turkey, or even catch a glimpse of a fox weaving through the trees. Inside the tent, you'll find a comfortable queen size bed, a mini fridge and kitchenette space, coffee maker, creating a cozy and welcoming space to unwind after a day of adventure. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with friends, or solo, this is a place to settle in, slow down, and truly reconnect. Inside the tent, you'll find a comfortable queen size bed, a mini fridge and kitchenette space, coffee maker, and AC, creating a cozy and welcoming space to unwind after a day of adventure. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with friends, or solo, this is a place to settle in, slow down, and truly reconnect. Please Note: There is no running water available at the property during the winter months (October 20th – May 14th) due to seasonal winterization. A clean and well-maintained porta-potty is provided for restroom use about a 100-yard walk from the unit. Cloud Nine Camping backs up to Black Hills National Forest on three sides, giving you direct access to miles of historic logging trails that wind through untouched terrain. The land is quiet and uncrowded—perfect for those looking to escape the busier tourist routes while still being close to the area’s most iconic destinations. From your tent, you’re just minutes from Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Lakota Lake, and Center Lake. You’ll also find Hill City, Custer, and Rapid City all within a short drive, making it easy to blend adventure and relaxation during your stay. For those looking to make their experience even more special, we offer a few add-ons you can reserve ahead of time. Surprise a loved one with a fresh flower bouquet and custom note, or opt for our Lovers’ Package—complete with a locally grown floral arrangement, rose petals, and sparkling cider for a romantic evening under the stars. As this is a nature-immersed experience, occasional encounters with bugs are possible despite routine pest management. Whether you're waking to birdsong, hiking straight from camp into the forest, or sharing stories around the fire at night, we invite you to slow down, breathe deep, and experience the stillness and magic of the Black Hills in a way that only Cloud Nine Camping can offer. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit ### Laundry - Coin laundry ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Water park - Basketball nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121810000/121800900/121800840/a43da172.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Peaceful Winter Glamping Hideaway Hermosa - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space - Parking available £120 includes taxes & fees 20 Jan - 21 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-20&endDate=2026-01-21&selected=121800840&PinnedHotelID=121800840&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122430000/122429900/122429873/17239c94.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quiet off-grid log cabin on 20 acres in the pristine Black Hills National Forest Hill City - Outdoor space - Parking available - Fireplace - Microwave £276 includes taxes & fees 20 Jan - 21 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-20&endDate=2026-01-21&selected=122429873&PinnedHotelID=122429873&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77150000/77144300/77144272/dc9832f0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Moon Meadows · ★Unique Barn Stay Close to The Hill\`s ★ Rapid City - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 7 reviews £192 includes taxes & fees 19 Feb - 20 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=77144272&PinnedHotelID=77144272&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32740000/32735800/32735706/0707d7d6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ghost Canyon Getaway "Cabin" #4 Hermosa - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 170 reviews £145 includes taxes & fees 24 Jan - 25 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-24&endDate=2026-01-25&selected=32735706&PinnedHotelID=32735706&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93140000/93136200/93136164/w450h683x287y0-45e3d20d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming House Near Popular Park Rapid City - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-02&endDate=2026-02-03&selected=93136164&PinnedHotelID=93136164&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69340000/69335100/69335059/bd812f9d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Black Hills at Dakota Dream B&B, \*\* Check Availability for Short Notice\*\* Custer - Breakfast included - Free Wi-Fi - Parking available - Microwave 10 Exceptional 18 reviews £125 includes taxes & fees 23 Jan - 24 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-24&selected=69335059&PinnedHotelID=69335059&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90450000/90445800/90445766/fafb4c61.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Centrally Located near everything the Black Hills has to offer!
